Night Soil examines the healing effect of the hallucinatory plant
Ayahuasca on modern man's troubled mind. Can Ayahuasca be, for Western
civilisation now, what LSD was for the 1960s? How can shamanism,
medicinal drugs, sexuality and the return of the feminine be aligned
with the narcissism of cyberspace? Can empathy, spirituality, feminism
and ecological consciousness enable a healthy future for all living
organisms on the planet?
