On a hot New York July evening six peaceful warriors were sitting on the SVA stage for a discussion after the World Premiere of the documentary 2012 Time for Change.

Tiokasin has been described as “a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.”

Daniel Pinchbeck, host of the documentary, discussed the meaning of "Prophecies" with Tiokasin in front of Wall Street.

The next speaker was Sting, who discussed his Ayahuasca experiences and what a "Crisis" really means.

Paul Stamets, an American mycologist, author, and advocate of bioremediation and medicinal mushrooms, brought a huge bag of mushrooms to the screening, took it out during the Q&A.  (Sting asked him if it could be smoked).

Ganga White has been called one of the “architects of American yoga” and a “pioneer of yoga” by the Yoga Journal. He discussed with Daniel the fact that the Sixties did not fail at all.
