The Anthology features an interview with keynote speaker Luis Eduardo Luna and 19 original research essays organized into five research tracks (Ancient Traditions, Indigenous Traditions, Medicine, Race, and the Underground). It opens with a foreword by the Center's Faculty Director Charles Stang and an introduction by Jeffrey Breau and Paul Gillis-Smith, the Center's Program Leads for Psychedelics and Spirituality.
