I very much like your vision for what Steemit could help our society become. The more I learn about crypto and blockchain technology, the more excited I become. Things are changing faster and faster now, it feels a bit exhausting trying to keep up.
Altered states of consciousness is something I've had some experience with. I live in Brazil and drank Ayahuasca once... Something I'm intending to do again. It's not a 'fun drug' like so many others, but wow, does it teach you a thing or two about yourself!
Thanks for reading @mandelsage. I feel the same, every day it feels like the horizon of possibility expands as I learn more about the technology behind crypto, though the downside of course is the mental exhaustion from trying to keep up!
Glad to have found a fellow ayahuasca drinker here on Steemit. I have never been to Brazil but I would love to visit sometime. I attended a conference here in the UK last summer called the ESPD50. Experts in plant medicines from all over the world attended and gave some incredible lectures, you can find the content on Vimeo I believe http://espd50.com (let me know if you want me to send you links).
Anyway, if I ever make a trip to Brazil, I would really love to visit this retreat, it looks amazing! http://www.wasiwaska.org maybe you'd like to join? ;-)
