About
Discover Una Meistere’s journey from Soviet-era Latvia to becoming a
bridge between indigenous plant medicines, psychedelic science, art, and
Baltic traditions in this in-depth conversation with ethnobotanist
Dennis McKenna. They explore ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms in Latvia, Amanita muscaria, and ancient sauna rituals as a kind of “Latvian
ayahuasca,” touching on symbiosis with nature and how psychedelic
experiences can help heal our disconnection from the natural world.
Una shares how synchronicities led her from journalism to co-founding
Arterritory, Spiriterritory, and the NGO Veseliba Latvija, and to
organizing the first psychedelic science conferences in Latvia together
with the University of Latvia. The discussion dives into stigma, legal
grey zones, human rights to psychedelic-assisted therapies, and the
Baltic region’s emerging role in the global psychedelic renaissance.
