About this listen

An ancient prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, here representing the often-polarized science and spirit, mind and heart, foretold that ours would be a time of great upheaval calling for a re-harmonizing, a healing, both within ourselves and in the world at large.

In this follow-up to his highly acclaimed first book, The Fellowship of the River, medical doctor and curandero Joe Tafur looks to this prophecy as he invites you to rediscover the sacred in yourself and in the world around you. Tafur offers fascinating stories–medicine songs–of his own and numerous others’ including spirit-opening encounters, together with a chronicle of the past 30+ years of scientific breakthroughs known as the Psychedelic Renaissance (which includes clinical research into the therapeutic use of MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine). These parallel accounts reveal that sacred plants and psychedelic medicines, offered responsibly, whether in medical clinics or spiritual retreats, can catalyze profound emotional healing through spiritual awakening.

For anyone struggling with emotional distress or feelings of disconnection and despair, this book points the way toward a brighter future, where we can find meaning, healing, and connection–and thrive.

Joe recalls a fascinating story of what happened in his life and how these experiences influenced his development as a curandero. It was nice to get to know him better and listen to him reading his book. As I have experienced myself how good his icaros (healing songs) are, I feel blessed to know him and follow his journey in the world of psychedelic medicines.

Fascinating, educational and entertaining.
