Sting shares about his eye-opening psychedelic ayahuasca experience

Sting recalls his Amazon trip in which he consumed the powerful hallucinogen ayahuasca:

Ayahuasca is a psychedelic brew that, as Sting describes, makes you feel "wired to the entire cosmos. It is direct access to the god-head. There is definitely a higher intelligence at work." 

Experiences can be "both miraculous and terrifying, humorous and adventurous, humbling and revelatory when Westerners drink ayahuasca." (The Evolver Network) If you live in NYC and are interested in learning more about this psychedelic drug, the 6th Annual Ayahuasca Monologues, hosted by the Evolver Network is happening TONIGHT (Dec 12) at Webster Hall!
