Workshop | Ayahuasca: A Vision from Traditional Amazonian Medicine


Description
This workshop will provide theoretical and practical knowledge about the spiritual worlds and how to work within it. Presenters will draw on their experiences to create a space for discussing this topic, which is rarely spoken about within the context of Western ayahuasca use. We will explore the following question: How can we be both curious and conscious about the possible implications of spirit work? Through this workshop, which will pair presentations with opportunities for questions and discussions, we will explore the connections between traditional shamanic visions and the new western shamanism.
