Descending the Mountain 2021

Psychiatrist Franz Vollenweider and Zen master Vanja Palmers conduct a unique, legal science experiment at a Swiss monastery atop Mount Rigi. The study explores the effects of psilocibine (magic mushrooms) on experienced Zen practitioners who have never used drugs, aiming to understand the nature of mystical experiences and oneness with nature. Conducted 50 years after the substance's ban, the experiment examines the potential of combining meditation and psilocibine. The study’s goal is to see if such a combination could help humanity address societal and environmental challenges.
