SUMMARY:Course: Roots of Psychedelic Therapy: Shamanism\, Ritual and Traditional Uses of Sacred Plants
DESCRIPTION:This course will be composed of a series of independent lectures taught by the Chacruna Institute’s team and affiliates. It will lay out the foundation of the use of sacred plants through historical\, cultural\, indigenous\, ‘traditional’ and contemporary lenses. We will explore topics such as shamanism in Amazonia\, peyote use among the Wixárika\, psilocybin use among the Mazatec\, iboga in Africa\, and many other cultural practices amongst other groups. We will discuss and analyze critical social issues such as globalization\, tourism\, cultural appropriation\, commodification\, patents\, reciprocity\, conservation\, legality\, ethics\, sexual abuse\, practitioner’s training and more. The course will create bridges between the worlds of ceremonies and psychedelic therapies. Students will learn how to incorporate this knowledge into their professional practices – either clinical or social science research\, work clients or ceremonial circles – as well as their personal lives. Through multiple perspectives and the rich histories and cultures of psychedelic plant medicines\, students will be able to deepen their understanding of the expanding future of psychedelic plant medicines in ways that are equitable\, safe\, and just\, and ways we can give back to and honor the cultures from which these practices stem. The course will be taught from an anthropological viewpoint that considers different cultures and peoples worthy of respect and considers their own perspective and values.

SUMMARY:Course: Queering Psychedelics: Intersectionality\, Healing\, Spirituality and Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Psychedelics have encompassed a colorful history of the enchanted\, wayward\, and weird; its history also includes concrete ways queer folk have fundamentally shaped the substance\, style\, and spirituality of the psychedelic movement. At the same time\, some queer people have been harmed by psychedelic culture’s heteronormative assumptions. As the psychedelic renaissance reaches a pivotal moment of mainstream interest and regulatory legitimacy\, this course aims to foster accessibility and diversity in psychedelic science\, practice\, and discourses by addressing and dismantling sexist\, heteronormative\, transphobic\, and homophobic forms of oppression in the psychedelic movement. This course will cover topics such as the cruel effects of patriarchy\, practicing self-acceptance\, the dark sides of psychedelic research such as conversion therapy\, the move towards LGBTQ+ affirmative psychedelic-assisted therapies\, transpersonal queer spirituality\, sex positivity\, trans and BIPOC issues\, Indigenous perspectives in queer psychedelia\, and pleasure. The course also grapples with how modern psychedelic research might address the unique needs and traumas of sexual and gender minorities—populations that can suffer from challenging mental health conditions brought on by social exclusion\, pathologization\, criminalization\, and stigmatization. It is vital that queer spaces be established for exploring the unique needs\, gifts\, and strengths that LGBTQ+ communities bring to psychedelic medicine\, and how psychedelic medicine can help queer folks move towards healing and liberation.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Huni Kuin Tradition\, Ayahuasca and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 17th from 9am to 12:00pm PDT  $10 \nThis workshop will focus on the history and teachings of the Huni Kuin people\, which will be explored through dialogues with Huni Kuin as well as a film screening of Eskawata Kayawai. Topics to be explored include: ethnocide\, reciprocity\, right relationship\, Indigenous traditions\, values\, thinking and ways of life\, and how to honor Indigenous peoples. This workshop will provide an honest\, direct\, and in-depth understanding of the Huni Kuin people of the Amazon Rainforest who are experiencing the renaissance of their culture after decades of slavery and being forbidden to live their identity. Today\, many Huni Kuin are traveling and exploring the globe and leading ceremonies outside of their home villages. Through direct storytelling and sharing of traditions and knowledge\, this workshop will convey some of the views and experiences of the Huni Kuin. The film screening will serve as a bigger picture view of Huni Kuin in the Amazon Rainforest\, and will provide an opportunity to learn from the directors of the film about the process of communicating the story of the Huni Kuin to the general public in a way that is authentic and honors the needs and wants of the Huni Kuin people. Join this workshop with speakers Rita Sales Kaxinawá\, who is a researcher of the knowledge and traditions of the Huni Kuin people\, and is politically engaged in the movement\, and directors of the film Lara Jacoski\, who is cultural producer and independent filmmaker since 2008\, and Patrick Belem\, who is a Brazilian filmmaker\, journalist and musician.
