The House that Sings: The Therapeutic Use of Icaros at Takiwasi by Susana Bustos

The House that Sings: The Therapeutic Use of Icaros at Takiwasi by Susana Bustos | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

Located on the outskirts of Tarapoto, a small city in northeastern Peru, where the jungle inhabits the mountainous regions,Takiwasi is one of the first therapeutic centers to explore the promising interface between Western and Indigenous approaches to healing in the treatment of drug addictions. The purpose of the centeris twofold. As a therapeutic community, it focuses on the rehabilitation of male drug addicts, combining traditional Amazonian healing methods with Western medicine and psychotherapy. As a research center,its goals include assessing the efficacy of its programs, refining its proposals, studying the psychophysical effects of the ritual use of plants, and translating those effects into a language comprehensible to Westerners

Palabra de chamán: así es el primer emprendedor de la ayahuasca

Palabra de chamán: así es el primer emprendedor de la ayahuasca | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
Con motivo de la Conferencia Mundial de la Ayahuasca que se celebra este fin de semana en Ibiza, entrevistamos a Alberto Varela, fundador de la primera multinacional de la ayahuasca.
Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:

¿El primer empresario de la ayahuasca? Varela siempre ha sido bastante polémico por sus agresivas estrategias marketinianas y publicitarias alrededor de la ayahuasca.  Ha publicado anuncios a toda plana sobre sus sesiones en revistas y facebook. Los 14 meses que se pasó en la cárcel no han mermado su actitud, más bien al contrario.  Ayhuasca Internacional tiene una agenda cuajada de sesiones por varios países.  Según sus propias palabras planean facturar doscientos mil euros al año.

DJ Chakruna - Peru - Lima - National Final

This mix was recorded live at Red Bull Thre3style National Final in Peru the 11th of July 2014. 
Red Bull Thre3style is a DJ contest that promises to be a night of dance-floor mayhem. The participants have to play a selection of at least 3 genres or style of music in 15 minutes. It doesn't matter what genres of music are chosen so long as the DJ can make them work together.

The Psychologist Special issue: A brave new world for psychology?

The Psychologist Special issue: A brave new world for psychology? | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

The psychedelic state is unquestionably one of the most interesting psychological experiences humans can have. Hallucinogenic drugs that have been used by humans for as long as we can determine to provide novel insights into the mind and enhance social bonding. For moral reasons, hidden behind spurious concerns about health harms, modern society has attempted to deny the value and importance of the use of these drugs and the study of this altered state of consciousness. This article explains why this scientific censorship has occurred and outlines the lost opportunities for neuroscience research and medicinal treatments that have resulted. -Davit Nutt, from the introduction to the issue

QUE ES CREATIBI


Lo puedes llamar quedada, reunión de chiflados, asamblea, congregación, el nombre es lo de menos, a nosotros lo que nos importa es que el contenido lo pondremos entre todos, los ponentes seremos todos y cada uno de los asistentes, porque todos tenemos algo interesante que decir….

Creatibi es compartir , por lo que encontraremos un espacio donde poder conocer a los demás mientras profundizamos en aquello que nos apetece. En definitiva es un Open Space en el que se generaran energías productivas y sorpresas espontaneas de las personas que sientan un irrefrenable deseo de compartir su creatividad”.

ENCOD BULLETIN ON DRUG POLICIES IN EUROPE - Bulletin 115

ENCOD BULLETIN ON DRUG POLICIES IN EUROPE - Bulletin 115 | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it

So what will a legalised drugs market look like? The experiments with regulation of cannabis in the United States, Uruguay and Spain have been underway long enough to make a first evaluation. And as we are still in a state of war, we must remain critical of all information sources whatever their source. We must consider that the main source of trustworthy information must be the people who are directly affected by drug policies, and not necessarily academics or politicians.
