Melissa Stangl, former scientist and bioengineer, currently manages an Ayahuasca center in Peru. She has co-authored multiple scientific papers, and seeks to bridge the gap between science, psychedelics, and spirituality.
Melissa Stangl has a foot in both worlds, with a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, while managing operations for an Ayahuasca retreat center in Peru. She has helped facilitate scientific studies of Ayahuasca, and has passionately followed the psychedelic renaissance and global movement in both science and policy. Having previously co-authored multiple scientific papers on cancer biology, nanotechnology, and the combination of the two for improved cancer therapies, her current writing aims to bridge the gap between the worlds of science, psychedelics, and spirituality, and usher in a new era of conscious medicine.

We are a little more than halfway through the campaign, and we're almost at 200 pre-orders! I want to sincerely thank you all for your support throughout this launch, whether it's through spreading the word, pre-ordering a book, and/or subscribing to my updates! We live in exciting times, with a psychedelic renaissance spurring new studies, new policies, and a more open and honest dialogue about the benefits and risks of working with psychedelics and plant medicines. We're closer than ever before to answering the big questions of consciousness, and your support is helping to fuel the movement, so thank you!
As these things tend to go, this book is happening in conjunction with a couple other relevant and exciting events that I wanted to let you know about:
In honor of my company's new revamped website (www.pulsetours.com), we are offering a chance to win a $500 raffle prize towards a retreat with us (> 2 weeks) to anyone who pre-orders the book today, on the day of our launch, April 19th.
So, if you haven't already, click the title to pre-order a copy of Roots of Consciousness: A Modern Skeptic’s Journey in Plant Medicine & Psychedelic Science, and be entered into a raffle for $500 off your next retreat with Pulse Tours!
I'd love it if you could spread the word about this contest! And if you've already pre-ordered and would like to be entered into the contest, simply let me know via email (melissastangl@gmail.com) and I will add your name to the raffle!
