Alexander Ward - The Chosen One

950 views •

Visual art creative Alexander Ward joins us to discuss the film he produced and directed “Tierra Vida – An Ayahuasca Journey”, how he spent years working in the gaming industry but no longer feels satisfied creating for “little plastic toys”, why Ayahuasca is only something to try if you are willing to accept a large amount of change in your life, how smoking DMT brought him immediately back to his Ayahuasca experience, and his plans to walk the earth and spread his positive message.
