Reality Sandwich, CoSM, & Souldish present…

The 2nd Annual
“Ayahuasca Monologues: Tales of the Spirit Vine”

Following on last year’s successful event, we are pleased to present five new visionary stories about ayahuasca, the renowned sacred brew of the Amazon. For centuries, shamans have drunk this powerful concoction to heal illness, obtain mystical insights, contact spirit guides, and explore magical worlds. Hear of experiences both miraculous and terrifying when Westerners access ayahuasca’s incredible gifts. Music, dancing, and mingling will follow performance.
