Infinite Perception: The Power of Psychedelics for Global Transformation is an anthology of voices from the front line of the Psychedelic Renaissance, co-edited by journalist Ocean Malandra and neuroscientist and Harvard researcher Natalie Dyer, PhD.
After being culturally dormant for decades, a new mainstream global psychedelic revolution is upon us. This pioneering anthology takes the reader on a renewed journey through the cultural, social, and personally transformative power of psychedelics. Discover unique perspectives from indigenous healers to scientists, anthropologists, artists, and activists. From this multidimensional exploration, the reader will gain a comprehensive new understanding of psychedelics and their impact that’s not found in other books.
This volume includes contributions and interviews from prominent voices such as Dennis Mckenna of the Mckenna Academy, Rick Doblin of MAPS, Zoe Helene of Cosmic Sister, and Rick Strassman of the Spirit Molecule, as well as indigenous shamans from the Amazon rainforest to the Arctic Circle.

Expanding Science: Visions of a Post-Materialist Paradigm (November 2020)
Edited by Mario Beauregard, Gary E Schwartz, and Natalie L Dyer
Published by AAPS

Mainstream science generally adheres to the metaphysical assumption of “materialism”, the claim that matter is the only reality and that anything nonphysical is not real. However, that assumption is false. Indeed, the shift from materialist science to post-materialist science may be of vital importance to the evolution of the human civilization. It may be even more pivotal than the transition from geocentrism to heliocentrism. This anthology will feature pioneers who are leading the way toward a new post-materialist paradigm. Read more about the Manifesto for a Post-Materialist Science.
