Praise

“Michael Wiese is a psychedelic explorer’s explorer. With honesty and humor, Living With Spirits reveals a rarely seen authentic Ayahuasca dieta, deep within the Peruvian Amazon.”
—Tony Levelle, editor of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide

“The film reminds me of what is pure and worthwhile about the sharing of the Ayahuasca mystery with modern consciousness. This is not entertainment, commercial, or the latest fad. This is beautiful and profound.”
—Robert Forte, editor of Entheogens and The Future of Religion

“Finally, an honest, low-key, moving documentary about what is really like to work with Ayahausca with a sophisticated and gentle shaman while keeping to a minimalist diet and learning to pay more and more attention to one's own connections to the teeming vibrant living system of the rain forest. No false drama here, just simple and straightforward reporting. Wonderful ending footage of what an Ayahausca ceremony actually looks like.”
—James Fadiman, author, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide: Safe, Therapeutic, and Sacred Journeys
