🍄 **Chasing Conciousness**

 Embark on a groundbreaking expedition with the Entheogen Genome Project, also known as Entheome, as we delve into the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. Join us on an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of traditional Zapotec ceremonies, where psychedelic mushrooms have played a vital role for generations. 🌿 **Project Overview:** The Entheogen Genome Project is at the forefront of building a genetic bank that encompasses the vast diversity of psychedelic plants and fungi. Our mission is to propel mental health research forward while safeguarding traditional knowledge and biodiversity. In November 2022, we set up a field molecular biology laboratory amidst the mystical landscapes of Oaxaca, aiming to unravel the secrets of the mushrooms integral to Zapotec rituals. 🔬 **Field Molecular Biology in Action:** Watch as our team of dedicated scientists conducts PCR on wild specimens of psychedelic mushrooms, pushing the boundaries of research in the heart of their natural habitat. Witness the intersection of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology as we explore the genetic makeup of these sacred fungi. 🎥 **Documentary Production:** Mycosymbiotics presents a captivating documentary, directed by Glimpse Studios, capturing the essence of our Oaxacan odyssey. This visual masterpiece delves into the symbiotic relationship between traditional practices, biodiversity, and scientific exploration. 🌍 **Preserving Tradition, Protecting Biodiversity:** Our documentary sheds light on the delicate balance between advancing mental health research and preserving the cultural heritage of indigenous communities. Join us in the quest to ensure the longevity of both traditional knowledge and the ecosystems that house these profound psychoactive organisms. 🌌 **Uncover the Mysteries:** Embark on this cinematic journey as we unravel the mysteries of psychedelic mushrooms and their role in the spiritual landscape of the Zapotec people. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and stories of a culture deeply intertwined with nature's secrets. ✨ **Dive into the Depths:** Join us on Vimeo for an exploration like no other. Discover the magic that lies beneath the surface as we uncover the genetic keys to the psychedelic legacy of Oaxaca. 🔗 **Connect with Us:** Follow the Entheogen Genome Project for updates on our groundbreaking research and future expeditions. #EntheogenGenomeProject #Entheome #PsychedelicResearch #OaxacaExpedition #Mycosymbiotics #GlimpseStudios #CulturalHeritage #BiodiversityProtection
