This issue explores the future of psychedelics while honoring indigenous stewards fighting for the preservation of their ancestral traditions. It highlights environmental battles, from protecting sacred Hawaiian shores to Mayan beekeepers resisting industrial farming.

Personal healing stories emerge, including the practice of darkness retreats and the use of iboga for OCD. A central theme of resilience runs throughout—whether in psychedelic advocates challenging regulations, individuals seeking healing outside the medical system, or indigenous leaders protecting fragile ecosystems. Despite widespread challenges, there are also signs of hope.
