Graham Hancock - Transpersonal Experiences, Psychedelics and an Enquiry Into the Nature of Reality

Breaking Convention 2011 - Sunday 3rd April Lecture topic; "Bold Visions" Speaker: Graham Hancock - Transpersonal Experiences, Psychedelics and an Enquiry Into the Nature of Reality GRAHAM HANCOCK Graham Hancock is the author of The Sign and The Seal, Fingerprints of the Gods, Keeper Of Genesis, Heaven’s Mirror, and other bestselling investigations of historical mysteries. His recent work focuses on shamanism and the origins of religion. His 2005 book, Supernatural: Meetings with The Ancient Teachers of Mankind, suggests that experiences in altered states of consciousness have played a fun- damental role in the evolution of human culture and that other realities not normally accessible to our senses may surround us at all times. While researching Supernatural Hancock travelled to the Amazon to drink visionary brew Ayahuasca - the Vine of Souls - used by shamans for more than 4000 years. His experiences with the vine lead to his latest work, and first novel, Entangled, published in 2010. Sponsored by Open Meditation.
