​

Music for Mushrooms documents musician East Forest’s journey as he explores the intersection of music and psychedelics, using this powerful combination to facilitate transformative healing in a world increasingly in need.  

 

A long-time collaborator of the late Ram Dass, East Forest blends shamanistic practices with guided psychedelic experiences, creating spaces where participants can confront their pain and fears, rediscover hope, and reconnect with their inner compass. 

 

Through deeply intimate encounters with individuals whose lives have been profoundly altered by these experiences, the film serves as a poignant exploration of the healing potential of art, spirituality, nature, and psychedelics. It is a resonant ode to the power of introspection and transformation in an era marked by widespread anxiety and disconnection. 

 

Featuring interviews and conversations with artists, academics, and cultural experts in the fields of psychedelics, science, music and philosophy, including Ram Dass, Hanifo Nayo Washington, Spring Washam, Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, Jon Hopkins and more.
