From Reciprocity to Sovereignty: Sacred Plants Conservation and Community
February 7 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
$10
Chacruna promotes reciprocity in the psychedelic community, and supports the protection of sacred plants and cultural traditions. We advance psychedelic justice through curating critical conversations and uplifting the voices of women, queer people, Indigenous peoples, people of color, and the Global South in the field of psychedelic science.

The Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative (IRI) attempts to address the profound gap between the promises of psychedelics as defined by the mainstream and the needs of Indigenous and local communities. What does “reciprocity” mean in response to the colonial structures of increasingly globalized plant medicine spaces? How can relational ontologies inform a different way of building community autonomy to challenge systems of exploitation and alienation? How do we properly give back, integrate, and act? What are the promises and limitations of “Access and Benefit Sharing”? We hope to explore different strategies for working towards a process of reciprocity in the corporate, non-profit, therapeutic and ceremonial contexts. Join us in this conversation with speakers Dr. Glauber Loures de Assis, who is Associate Director of Chacruna Latinoamérica in Brazil, Joseph Mays, MSc, who is Program Director of Chacruna’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative (IRI), and Dr. Bia Labate, who is Executive Director of the Chacruna Institute.
