Tying the Threads of the Past to the Future | Darcy Ottey | TEDx

Meaningful, community-recognized rites of passage for young people could be the key to our survival as a species.

Darcy spent her college years studying anthropology and sociology to develop an understanding of culture and social change theory. She has dedicated her life to helping young people open the door to deeper self-discovery and claim their gifts, skills and strengths. Darcy was executive director of Journeys, an organization based in suburban Seattle, and more recently helped struggling Hawaiian teens through a gardening-based therapeutic program.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Field Report: Ayahuasca Vine Cultivation and Harvesting in the Peruvian Amazon | Medicine Hunter

Field Report: Ayahuasca Vine Cultivation and Harvesting in the Peruvian Amazon | Medicine Hunter | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
Over the past several years, members of ayahuasca groups and various social media sites have referred to the supply of ayahuasca vine (Banisteriopsis caapi, Malpighiaceae) in Peru as imperiled and environmentally devastated. And yet, the largest ayahuasca retreat centers in Iquitos (Loreto region) and Pucallpa (Ucayali region) appear well supplied with this vine. I have seen cultivation of this vine in at least a dozen locations in both geographic regions, inspected large shipments of ayahuasca at some of the higher-volume ayahuasca healing centers, and observed that the supply of vine has thus far been sufficient for the current levels of demand. That said, my observations cannot be construed as definitive.

Our Review Of The Rythmia Spiritual Retreat Center

Our Review Of The Rythmia Spiritual Retreat Center | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
The Third Wave's founder, Paul Austin, travels to Costa Rica to experience the Rythmia spiritual retreat center, and explore the healing benefits of plant medicines.
Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:

Food for thought "Because Rythmia’s approach to developing a profitable high-end psychedelic retreat model is the first of its kind, the way in which this happens brings up one huge question: what are the ethics around upselling people when they are in a vulnerable psychological position after drinking a psychedelic brew for four straight nights?"
