Rak Razam

A companion volume to the author's adventurous ayahuasca memoir Aya Awakenings, this collection of interviews with native Amazonian healers or curanderos and Western shamans will also attract "seekers and thrill-seekers" traveling the "gringo trail" in Central and South America in search of a direct encounter with ayahuasca's multidimensional reality. A classic text for those interested in entheogens, ayahuasca tourism, and counterculture studies.

Aya Awakening's strong adventure narrative and the mythic attraction of shamanism will appeal to alternative-minded counterculture seekers hungry for a bold story with a spiritual premise; new age and body, mind, and spirit readers; and global backpackers interested in psychedelics.
