First Contacts, Slavery and Kinship in North-Eastern Amazonia | Vanessa Grotti y Marc Brightman - Academia.edu

First Contacts, Slavery and Kinship in North-Eastern Amazonia | Vanessa Grotti y Marc Brightman - Academia.edu | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

"The sudden transformation of the relations between Trio and Wayana on the one hand and Akuriyo on the other from those of enemy-strangers to those of coresidents has had far-reaching consequences. The Akuriyo in  Tëpu today are effectively servants of the Trio. Akuriyo nuclear families live away from each other in different parts of the village, each attached to the household of a Trio family. Although they are spoken of as children,  Akuriyo men are also often treated in some respects as though they were sons-in-law, implying as subservient a relationship as is possible between adults in traditional kinship terms, but also implying indebtedness. Despite this, it is rare to find an Akuriyo man actually married to a Trio  woman"

(3) ADF Webinar #6: El Deber de Cuidar - Ayahuasca Defense Fund - YouTube

Reflexiones sobre las Mejores Prácticas Ceremoniales, con Jerónimo Mazarrasa y Marc Baños Aixalà. Modera: Bia Labate

La comunidad global ayahuasquera se encuentra de camino hacia la autorregulación de las prácticas con plantas psicodélicas y en proceso de definir cómo integrarlas en las sociedades. Los facilitadores y practicantes comparten la responsabilidad tanto de asegurar el bienestar de los participantes en las ceremonias como de ser conscientes de la manera en la que están contribuyendo a la percepción de las prácticas con ayahuasca que tienen las autoridades.

En este webinar, el equipo de ICEERS compartirá experiencias de protocolos y guías con el objetivo de promover prácticas que amplíen beneficios y mitiguen riesgos. A partir de las mejores prácticas y técnicas de reducción de daños, los presentadores abordarán los siguientes temas: preparación, selección, reglas dietéticas (significados biológicos o culturales), problemas comunes que surgen durante y después de las ceremonias, formación de los facilitadores, desarrollo de planes de emergencia, acuerdos financieros, proselitismo, publicidad, contabilidad, el cuidado posterior a las tomas e integración.

A través de este webinar esperamos fomentar el deber de cuidar entre los practicantes de Estados Unidos, Europa y otros lugares, con el objetivo de asegurar la protección de las culturas tradicionales en el Amazonas, donde estas formas de curación nacieron contribuyendo a desarrollos positivos dentro de la internacionalización de la ayahuasca.

Kalliopi Tavoulari: Non-psychedelic Entheogens

Non-psychedelic Entheogens: Kambô, Rapé, Sananga and other Indigenous Medicines
Abstract:
The word ‘Enthoegen’ is commonly used to describe a medicine that generates the divine within and often associated with substances that produce altered states of consciousness during sacred ceremonies or rituals. Frequently these indigenous rituals are accompanied with other plant substances and derivatives that facilitate these ceremonies.
Contrary to popular belief some of the most potent and traditional substances, although entheogenic in their own fashion, do not lead to a psychedelic experience, rather they are healer plants that promote the wellbeing of both body and soul and result in a feeling of deep connection with the Earth and the Elements surrounding us, they are also powerful plant derivatives with extraordinary conventional medicinal potential.
In the talk that will follow we will investigate some of the better known auxiliary entheogens such as Rapé the Sacred Snuff, Kambô the magic Frog Medicine and Sananga the ‘Eye Opener’.

Indigenous Networks and Evangelical Frontiers: Problems with Governance and Ethics in Cases of 'Voluntary Isolation' in Contemporary Amazonia | Vanessa Grotti y Marc Brightman - Academia.edu

Indigenous Networks and Evangelical Frontiers: Problems with Governance and Ethics in Cases of 'Voluntary Isolation' in Contemporary Amazonia | Vanessa Grotti y Marc Brightman - Academia.edu | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
The periodic emergence of indigenous peoples living in voluntary isola-tion in Amazonia have given rise to sensational media reports and heated academic debate. In this chapter we describe briefly the historical and contemporary relations between indigenous peoples in and out of isolation in the Guiana Shield region of North-eastern South America and discuss the role of indigenous missionaries in histories of contact. After considering these facts in relation to some of the general debates about isolated peoples and policy, we assess the ethical dimensions of the question of emergence from isolation.

ADF Webinar #7: Demystifying the Myths about ayahuasca and DMT - Ayahuasca Defense Fund - YouTube

Does ayahuasca = DMT?

In this new episode of our webinar series, Bia Labate and José Carlos Bouso debate and discuss the biomedical effects of DMT and ayahuasca, demystifying commonly held points of view about these substances.

DMT is the psychoactive component of ayahuasca, which becomes orally active in ayahuasca because of the endogenous MAO inhibitors present in Banisteriopsis caapi. We explore the differences between DMT and ayahuasca from an historical and cultural point of view, illustrating how the consumption of psychoactive substances cannot be understood outside of their contexts – both the set (characteristics of the individual) and setting (consumption context): in other words, the complex cultural, indigenous, traditional, therapeutic, and religious dimensions of ayahuasca practices cannot be reduced to a mere active component (DMT).
