Becoming Vegetalista: My Visionary Initiation and Apprenticeship with the Plant Nations of Earth - Stephen Harrod Buhner

The remarkable story of the powerful visionary episodes Stephen Harrod Buhner experienced over half a century ago.

The demands that were made for his reformulation of the self, and his subsequent training with the plants of the high Rocky Mountains into their uses as medicines and ecological modulators for planetary health. And as well, his meeting and training with some of the most innovative teachers of the latter half of the twentieth century. This is the most extensive description of visionary experience since that of Black Elk's in Black Elk Speaks and Manual Cordova Rios's in Wizard of the Upper Amazon.
