Murphy's Law states that if you've arranged an interview with a brilliant guest to talk about a fantastic film in a great location, then you will catch Covid and have to self-isolate.

The Crooked Mile consolidated the UK career of Millicent Martin. Here is some https://dominicdelargy.wordpress.com/the-crooked-mile-publicity-material/ (publicity material) from the show. Ace of Clubs was written by Noel Coward, the MD was Mantovani and Graham Payn & Pat Kirkwood starred.

Standing With The Waters : A Benefit Album For Standing Rockby Aquatic CollectiveStanding With The Waters : A Benefit Album For Standing Rock by Aquatic CollectiveKathleen Harrison - Veins Of Light: Feminine Awareness & Visionary MedicineEntheogenesis Australis Dec 8th 2017, Melbourne Australia. Synopsis What is the role of feminine awareness in relationship to visionary species? We often personify powerful plant species as spirits, many of them female. We can examine how this perception affects our relationship with them and their effect on us.Curiosity, compassion, and truth-telling are qualities that plants and mushrooms sometimes exhibit, just as we do. Let's follow that line of thought together. Bio Kathleen Harrison, M.A., is an ethnobotanist who has worked in the field since the 1960s.She is informed by long relationships with indigenous healers, California subcultures, an array of expert naturalists, and her own decades of psychedelic curiosity. She co-founded the organization Botanical Dimensions with Terence McKenna in 1985, and continues as its perennial Program Director, initiating ongoing projects in Mexico, Peru, California and Hawaii.Kat has taught globally for both universities and many conferences. She is currently based and teaching at the Botanical Dimensions Ethnobotany Library, in Northern California.

En este programa de Orando con María, te presentamos a Kathleen Harrison. Nos habla de la Virgen María como la Madre en la que encuentra una fuente constante de fortaleza y de amor. Explica que la oración del rosario le ha ayudado a crecer en su relación con Jesús, imitando la relación de amor de la Virgen con Él. Además, le hace consciente del trato maternal que recibe siempre de Ella, medianera de gracias tan importantes como la conversión de su marido.

Kathleen Harrison is an ethnobotanist studying the relationship between plants, people, and culture. She's worked throughout Latin America since the 1960s and informed by long relationships with indigenous healers, naturalists, and her own decades of psychedelic curiosity. She co-founded the organisation Botanical Dimensions with Terence McKenna in 1985.

Ethnobotanist Kathleen Harrison is joined in conversation by CIIS's Natalie Metz to explore entheogens and the rich and complex relationship between plants, mushrooms, and human beings.

This episode of the MAPS Podcast is taken from the Psychedelic Science 2017 conference in Oakland, CA. The talk is by the legendary and luminous Kathleen Harrison, M.A. and is entitled "Cannabis and Spirituality - Exploring the Plant Human Spirit Relationship". Kat's decades of work as an ethnobotanist focussed largely on the deeply inter-connected history and relationship between human beings and cannabis. A relationship existing not just in a cultural setting but also a spiritual one. This talk explores the nuances of the relationship, cultural appropriation in respect to psychedelic mysticsm and a holistic blueprint for how one might approach spirituality with cannabis as a guide.  Kathleen (Kat) Harrison, M.A. is an ethnobotanist who loves to explore the relationship between plants, mushrooms and human beings—particularly in the realms that are often hidden: cultural beliefs, personification of species, rituals of healing and initiation, vision-seeking modalities, and artistic creations that illustrate the plant-human relationship. She also studies and teaches the deep history of humans in nature, encompassing both before and since the advent of agriculture. Kathleen founded Botanical Dimensions in 1985, with her then-husband, the late Terence McKenna.  Visit www.botanicaldimensions.org

Sita has now been formally studying and practicing Indigenous Plant Wisdom for over nine years. She has undertaken an apprenticeship in the Shipibo tradition. She works and learns from the Master Plants and dietas. She works with individuals and groups in ceremony.Sita came to Ayahuasca through her yoga practice when she was invited to join a journey by her teacher. When she participated in that first ceremony over eight years ago, she had been abstinent from all alcohol and drugs and had maintained self imposed dietary restrictions.In this period of rapid change, the call to individual and collective awakening is clear. It's beyond coincidence that the use of visionary/healing/awakening plants such as ayahuasca, psilocybe mushrooms, iboga, peyote, cannabis, and others is spreading rapidly at this time.When encountered in the best of conditions, these plants may be the most effective teachers we have now - direct conduits to the deepest, most enlightening truths. Our intention with this second Spirit Plant Medicine Conference is to offer accurate, respectful, and most of all beneficial information and inspiration on the use of and larger context around such plants. It's an intention arising from a vision and a prayer carried in the hearts of many.To that end we're assembling an exceptional group of knowledgeable, engaging, and heartfelt speakers to share their wisdom.

Dr Peter Hunt a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles joins Lady Fontaine and her co-host Kathleen Harrison for an informal discussion of this ground-breaking book. A Course in Miracles is a course in your individual discovery of a new self-realization; that is, a contact with another form or essence of reality that literally transforms your mind. It is a mind-training device that will afford you, literally, a healing that will lead to enlightenment of your mind. The direction of this teaching is to the certainty that it's possible for you as a member of the species Homo Sapiens, as you define yourself, to undergo an experience in your mind that will show you a new reality based on eternal life, rather than on the conditioned reality in which you find yourself. This is simply the idea that there is a process by which you individually could have an experience of – “God.” The theology of A Course in Miracles is that there's one reality. It is eternal and extends eternally. It has no exception, and it is singular. That simple. What is the philosophy of A Course in Miracles? The philosophy is, since the theology is that “truth is true and nothing else is true”, the philosophy must be the necessity for you initially to include yourself in with the entirety of reality. What is the psychology? How do you do it? You are a continuing instruction of your association with who you think you are within your identity of yourself and attempting to convey to another human association, who you are in that relationship. In fact, you are locked in a cause and effect relationship of temporal space/time that is not what eternal life is. And there occurs the dichotomy.
