Cactus Friends

A Psychedelic Love Story

By: Charlotte Dune

Narrated by: Charlotte Dune

Plant medicine plus passion in this nonstop steamy and tropical adventure.

A struggling photographer Thelma searches for direction in her life. She is drawn to a group conducting plant medicine ceremonies on a mysterious farm in Florida’s southern Everglades. After drinking a mescaline tea made from the San Pedro wachuma cactus with the group, she receives an unusual message and meets a young Persian man suffering from kidney failure, named Saman.

Together, they unravel the hidden meaning of Thelma’s prophetic visions, a path that leads to Thelma’s past and to Saman’s future. In Cactus Friends, Charlotte Dune creates a story rich with supernatural energy and imagery, taking the listener inside the world of underground shamans, psychedelic encounters, and wachuma - or huachuma - and ayahuasca ceremonies. Cactus Friends uncovers the power of romances old and new and traverses the unbreakable threads that connect some lovers across time and space.

Love it!

I finished this in one day! Such a beautiful spiritually inclined love story! thank you!

Real, relatable and charming

This is the first romance story that I’ve ever read/listened to, so I am not qualified to compare it to other stories in the genre. That stated, I found it to be descriptive and well told. It was as if I were listening to a friend sharing aspects of their life experience with me. The story touched upon themes that connected me to my wedding vows (made over 30 years ago) when I made the commitment to my bride that I would love her for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, ‘til death do us part. Love and romance conquers all!

Riveting!!! 💚🌵💚

This story was so good, I listened from start to finish! Thank you Charlotte Dune for creating such a beautifully psychedelic love story ❤♥

short, engaging read

This was my first read by Charlotte Dune, and won't be my last (I am looking forward to Mushroom Honeymoon). I listened on Audible and the author did a great job narrating (though I would have liked a bit more variation in the male voices; however the author has a smooth, comforting voice that made for very easy listening). I immediately felt engaged with Saman and Thelma as I was dropped into their vibrant world. With the strong voice, evocative setting, and emotional journeys, it was a more serious read than lighthearted, but don't let that deter you. Both characters were relatable with realistic backstories and journeys, and I appreciated the secondary characters, too. It was also interesting to learn about the medicinal and healing properties of plants and psychedelics.
