New book

The Participatory Way.

Beyond materialism and idealism, a new cartography of reality in which consciousness and the physical world are co-evolving dimensions of an unfinished, responsive cosmos — and what that changes about spiritual diversity, psychedelics, gender, intimacy and human solidarity.

In this brilliant and original cultural and philosophical contribution, Jorge Ferrer outlines a new vision of participation and reciprocity, building on his earlier pioneering work. We are embedded in a mystery, in a living process of mutual co-creation. Essential reading for our time.
