NeuroSoup: Harm Reduction, Consciousness Exploration, Spirituality About my art I’ve been painting for around 15 years; although, I didn’t throw myself into it fully until about seven years ago.

I have a home-based studio and used to have an art gallery in Wichita’s Towne West Mall (closed due to Covid). Entheogens | Salvia Forum | Psychoactive Plants | Hallucinogens Shamanism: Essential Reading - Entheology.com With the rising resurgence of shamanism, often as a curiosity or a way to make money, there seem to be an equally growing number of books flooding the market, making it more and more difficult to find reliable scholarly studies of the topic. When I go to the bookstore or browse Amazon.com, I inevitably have to sift through more and more books on self-improvement, or soul retrieval guides to help me discover my “power animals,” and many others that I feel take an often “New Agey” look at the entire topic of shamanism. I’m not saying that those kinds of books on shamanism aren’t important; they just aren’t the kinds of books regarding shamanism that I’m personally interested in. I have more of an anthropological interest in the historical and cultural aspects of shamanism as it relates to its development as a belief system, especially when the use of plant medicines and trance states were a central feature of any particular culture’s shamanism practices.

Shamans and scientists By Jeremy Narby, anthropologist with Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète and author of The Cosmic Serpent, DNA and the Origins of Knowledge. From Intrinsic Value and Integrity of Plants in the Context of Genetic Engineering (PDF) In 1999, three molecular biologists travelled to the Peruvian Amazon to see whether they could obtain bio-molecular information in the visions they had in sessions orchestrated by an indigenous shaman. They had no previous experience of ayahuasca shamanism or of the Amazon, though they did have an interest in alternative healing traditions and shamanism. Their age ranged from the late-30s to mid-60s. One worked as a scientist in an American genomics company. None of the scientists spoke Spanish, and the indigenous ayahuasquero did not speak English or French, so I translated for them.
The 50 Best Blogs for Future Teachers The Modern Definition Of College Readiness 3.54K Views 0 Likes The modern definition of learning, school, and college is an evolving mix of education and technology jargon. the Lycaeum - Entheogen Definition Definition of "Entheogenic" Quick Definition: mind altering, psychedelic, spirit inducing, shamanistic substance Some of you who stumble upon this website may be slightly puzzled by a word in our header that is probably unfamiliar to many: Entheogenic.

The Dark Side of Ayahuasca Kyle Nolan spent the summer of 2011 talking up a documentary called 'Stepping Into the Fire,' about the mind-expanding potential of ayahuasca. The film tells the story of a hard-driving derivatives trader and ex-Marine named Roberto Velez, who, in his words, turned his back on the "greed, power, and vice" of Wall Street after taking ayahuasca with a Peruvian shaman. The film is a slick promotion for the hallucinogenic tea that's widely embraced as a spirit cure, and for the Shimbre Shamanic Center, the ayahuasca lodge Velez built for his guru, a potbellied medicine man called Master Mancoluto. The film's message is that we Westerners have lost our way and that the ayahuasca brew (which is illegal in the United States because it contains the psychedelic compound DMT) can set us straight. Devotees talk about ayahuasca's cathartic and life-changing power, but there is a dark side to the tourism boom as well. Few experts blame the concoction itself.
