Pinkson shares his journey of awakening through childhood trauma to a revelatory connection with nature. He details experiences of plant medicine journeys, vision quest rites of passages, and pilgrimages to places of power. He describes his mentorship with Indigenous medicine peoples around the world, including an 11-year initiatory apprenticeship with Guadalupe de la Cruz, a renowned Huichol shaman. Through his experiences with death and dying and with LSD and plant spirit medicines such as peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, and ayahuasca, he forged a cosmology based on the interconnectedness of all beings and dedicated to shifting a fear-based world to a love-based one.

Presenting a map for others to follow the Wisdom Warrior path of psychedelic shamanism, the author explores how to work ethically, skillfully, and responsibly with psychedelics and plant spirits and shares shamanic practices to develop your capacity to connect with the infinite cosmic love that is the essence of our being. By sharing his journey, along with the Indigenous wisdom and plant teachings at the foundation of his spiritual path, Pinkson shows how to restore the sacred in everyday life and discover your role in helping to heal and transform our world.
