I am excited to invite you all to come join us at Psychedelic Science 2017, a conference co-hosted by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and the Beckley Foundation this April, in Oakland. The Psychedelic Science 2013 conference sold out with 1,800 attendees; this year, we expect nearly 2,200. This means it will be among the largest psychedelic conferences ever.

We follow two brave people as they travel out of the country to find answers through the use of this mysterious plant medicine.

I'm at an unofficial 'church' that meets here regularly. It's like a Christian church in many ways, where people gather, play music and speak about the positive changes everyone can make on the world. It's the same, except these people are going to take ayahuasca, a powerful hallucinogen that's highly illegal here in America. 

The higher powers they speak of aren’t cosmic beings, either. To them, these are deities completely accessible. They can be experienced and heard by anyone willing to listen.

“We come here to improve ourselves, to learn from our mistakes and to evolve as people,” says Ryan, one of the participants in the ritual.

I’m not exaggerating here, aya devotees speak about the drug in the sort of absolutist hyperbole common to religious fundamentalists. Think Christian televangelists only softer, more hippy-like, less fire-and-brimstone and more infinite love. Yes, it’s fairly benign, but there’s a soft fanaticism to it that makes Bruce wary.

Now this is Bruce’s problem with the ayahuasca community: they so desperately want to believe in all this New Age spiritual nonsense, that they have to tell other people loudly and forcefully that yes, this is The Answer, just so they can drown out the sound of their own cognitive dissonance. There’s an unspoken fatwa among ayahuasca drinkers that denounces this sort of critical thinking. It’s very cultish and cults have little time for dissidents.

AYAHUASCA shot at SpiritQuest Sanctuary near lquitos, Peru. It follows a group of seekers through a traditional ayahuasca retreat, documenting their experiences, insights and healing. AYAHUASCA is a collaboration between MYTHAPHI and Aubrey Marcus.

In December of 2013 I visited the Peruvian jungle with two of my best friends. Spending time away from modern civilization deep in the rainforest has been healing and beautiful on one hand but also eye-opening and disturbing on the other hand. It’s the fourth time I’ve been to Peru. The last time was in 2007. The ponerization of society has reached even the most remote corners where the virus of “modern progress” has also infected that part of the world. Many people have this romantic view of exotic places like the Amazon and the natives who live there. The issue is not only the pathology of the modern world with its globalization, greed, and capitalism, but that many natives themselves actually want that life style in so many ways. It’s a bit ironic, some of us are trying to escape the modern world and the people living in what we see as “paradise” yearn for what we are trying to get away from. But it’s a clash and doesn’t fit.
