Intelligence in Nature: A talk about plants and shamanism with Jeremy Narby
“Perhaps our brina is acting like a radio, or TV receiver, and ordinary consciousness is one program that the brain concocts, but then when you modify the conciousness you are turning the channel and picking up biospheric television.”
Sunday, July 19th 2009 – 8pm
The Park Theatre, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg
Jeremy Narby, Ph.D., is a world-renowned author, anthropologist and activist. Narby grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Canterbury, and received a doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. Since 1989 he has been working for Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planete as Amazonian projects director. He is the author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge and Intelligence in Nature, among others. His main work is to support and fundraise for indigenous run initiatives in the Amazon. His research into the relationship between the spirit world and the molecular world has acted as a bridge for a whole generation of people throughout the Western world, to open up to shamanism and the indigenous worldview.
After Jeremy's talk, there will be a sneak preview of the film Nosis: A Cinematic Vision Quest.
