Description

On April 5th, 2023 I had the immense honor of speaking at Harvard University with the Harvard Psychedelic Club about my journey with plant medicines, and the importance of using entheogenic substances within a ceremonial context. This speech was followed by an incredible Q&A and personal reflections  from the audience. About MeAndrew is a ceremonialist and multidisciplinary artist from Long Island, New York. For well over a decade Andrew has been passionately studying, learning from, and working directly with sacred plant teachers, indigenous ceremonial traditions, and the practices of holistic mind-body healing through herbalism and spiritual teachings. Born of Jamaican and Iranian descent, Andrew humbly walks a path of service with the aim of honoring and giving thanks to his ancestors and elders for guiding him towards rediscovering these ancient and universal forms in which all communities gather, heal, and grow together. Apprenticing for many years with initiated teachers and elders of several traditions has provided Andrew with an immense respect and understanding of the responsibility of what it is to carry these sacred teachings with the utmost reverence and integrity.Always working from a place of love, safety, humor, and gentleness, Andrew leads a life of prayer with the intention of leaving a positive and lasting impact on all those he serves and supports through his offerings.Follow  the Harvard Psychedelic Club on Instagram  and join their amazing newsletter.
