For millennia, fungi and plant medicines have been used by Africa's earliest indigenous peoples for spiritual and community growth, though rarely discussed by modern scholars. Many communities across Africa still use these sacred plants in their rites of passage,initiation ceremonies, spiritual communication, healing, and daily rituals.

This presentation encompasses both African and Diasporic cultures. Darren takes us on a chronological and geographical journey through time and space, offering valuable information through academic references. He highlights correlations in symbolism and language that reveal thought-provoking insights.

Darren will explore the revival of the archaic feminine through mythologies and traditions that connect the psychedelic experience to the Goddess mysteries. He'll examine how these have become encoded in various mythological and psychedelic rites of passage, from the ancient indigenous world to the present day. This presentation will also delve into the ancient African and psychedelic roots of Yoga and its forgotten philosophy. We'll explore ancient mythologies that link the human entheogenic experience with the pathway of sacred union. Together, Yoga and psychedelics can take one on a journey that explores the power of the mind and the full potential of the human body, leading to mystical sacred union experiences. Join us for this bespoke presentation that promises to be an enlightening journey through the ancient wisdom of Africa. 

Prepare to expand your understanding of human spirituality and consciousness in this unique exploration of our shared ancestral heritage.

Darren will also be offering two other presentations: You are a Mushroom Having a Human Experience and his signature course, The ShroomShop: Mushroom Cultivation for Beginners. Yoga Roots Odeceixe is proud to collaborate with Mushroom Compadres for the mushroom cultivation workshop. 

Note: Psychedelic consumption is not part of this offering.
