The role of the psychedelic guide is perhaps the most exciting and inspiring role in society. He is literally a liberator, one who provides illumination, one who frees men from their life-long internal bondage.

To be present at the moment of awakening, to share the ecstatic revelation when the voyager discovers the wonder and awe of the divine life process, is for many the most gratifying part to play in the evolutionary drama.

The role of the psychedelic guide has a built in protection against professionalism and didactic oneupmanship. The psychedelic liberation is so powerful that it far outstrips earthly game ambitions. Awe and gratitude -rather than pride -are the rewards of this new profession.

— Timothy Leary, The Psychedelic Experience

To be slow is not merely to decrease the pace of life. It’s about taking the time to reconsider our actions and think more deeply and responsibly about how we live.



We want to nourish ourselves on what Thoreau called “the tonic of wildness” and live evermore in the moment so that we can inhabit an existence that is “more elastic, more starry, more immortal.” Or in the words of Rachel Carson, the mother of the green movement: “One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, ‘What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?’”
