I thought others might be interested in this movie - it has screenings all over, and I will be at the Seattle screening on June 17th.
EAT A MUSHROOM TALK TO GOD.
AN INDIGENOUS-CATHOLIC PSYCHEDELIC RITUAL.
Little Saints is a documentary following six men and women from the United States who, along with Director Oliver Quintanilla, travel to Mexico to meet an extraordinary woman and take part of an ancient ritual of psychological and physical healing. The ingestion of psilocybe mushrooms in the southern Mexico is an ancient, candlelit ritual, that transformed through out the years, and it is now performed with a mix of Catholic and Indigenous beliefs. The lack of external stimuli creates a space that is conducive to looking inside oneself. While guided by Mazatec shaman Natalia, the patients examine their issues and find answers within themselves; thru prayer and energy cleansing, the shaman purifies their spirits.
Along with their story, the film includes interviews with scientists and researchers who share their knowledge of psychedelic medicines, Mazatec traditions, and current efforts to bring this medicine to the world community.
Independent Filmmaker Oliver Quintanilla will introduce the film, share about his experiences with Mazatec Shamanism in the South of Mexico. Following the screening there will be a conversation and q&a.
