In the main feature Tawai, Bruce takes us on a journey to discover why we have created the types of societies that we live in today. During this journey we learn that practices such as meditation may have been created over time to bring humankind back to a way of being that reflected our more connected and empathic hunter-gatherer origins.

In this additional featurette, Bruce invites his brother Duncan to share with him another tool or practice that has a similar outcome - a practice which he first discovered while making documentaries with the BBC - the Amazonian medicinal brew, ayahuasca.

But as we shall see, in order to begin the process of self-reflection and healing that Bruce believes is so necessary in the world today, it is also important to know that the journey, while ultimately beneficial, is seldom an easy one.
