SUMMARY:Course: Ayahuasca Healing\, Science and Indigenous Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice $950 \nThis course will be taught by leading experts in the field of ayahuasca research and renowned Indigenous leaders. The goal of the course is to address the current challenges and new perspectives on the use of ayahuasca in a global context\, not only from an academic standpoint but also drawing from Indigenous voices and their experience with ayahuasca. Students will be introduced to current issues on the internationalization of ayahuasca and its impacts. The course will address Amazonian traditional healing modalities; ayahuasca and Western psychotherapy\, the commodification of ayahuasca;​​therapeutic and clinical research; conservation\, environmental legislation and the legal framework of ayahuasca worldwide. This course will also be dedicated to honor the voices and experiences of Brazilian Indigenous leaders\, addressing issues that are most dear to Indigenous communities that consecrate ayahuasca. Our Indigenous professors will explore the dilemmas posed by western civilization\, such as exploitative extractivism\, cultural appropriation\, and the discredit of ancestral knowledge. They will also talk about ayahuasca shamanism and its role for the political\, spiritual and cultural resistance of Indigenous Peoples. This innovative course will bridge the gap between academic and traditional knowledge\, connecting the ceremonial use of sacred plants and psychedelic science. Following Chacruna’s tradition\, this course will unite a community of kindred people to get together and exchange notes around the most complete and up-to-date debates on ayahuasca and its challenges in current times.

SUMMARY:Course: The Science of Psychedelic Healing
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice $700 USD \nThis course will teach students the science of psychedelic healing. Psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials have shown promise for treating a variety of behavioral health indications\, and the topics covered in this course will describe some of the potential mechanisms of action for these psychedelic benefits. We will focus on specific psychoactive substances such as 5-MeO-DMT\, cannabis\, MDMA\, psilocybin\, and others. Within this realm of psychedelics\, we will discuss topics such as critical periods\, acute subjective effects\, altered states of consciousness\, characteristics of psychedelics\, nervous system resilience\, pharmacokinetics\, pharmacodynamics\, drug-drug interactions\, post treatment integration\, historical usage of these psychedelics and potential therapeutic applications. Evidence from psychedelic neuroscience\, epidemiology and pharmacology will be presented to help students gain a greater appreciation for how psychedelics may impact health and wellness in clinical care. We will analyze different scientific research studies and data that have been presented within these realms in order to discuss therapeutic efficacy. We will ultimately strive to bridge the gap between the use of these psychedelics within western medical practice to recreational and Indigenous use.

SUMMARY:Jornadas de Diálogo: Imaginarios Culturales\, Políticas y Prácticas en Torno a las Plantas Psicoactivas en Latinoamérica
DESCRIPTION:Conference in Spanish \nLa concepción de las drogas ha variado mucho a lo largo del tiempo\, y la distinción entre «drogas ilegales» y «medicamentos legales» sigue siendo objeto de controversia (Courtwright 2001). Cada vez son más los científicos que afirman que es necesario desmitificar las drogas y revisar su percepción como una amenaza para la sociedad. América Latina desempeña un papel fundamental en este debate\, ya que las sustancias psicoactivas forman parte de sus recursos naturales y de la historia cultural de sus pueblos indígenas. Las Jornadas de Diálogo “Imaginarios Culturales\, Políticas y Prácticas en Torno a las Plantas Psicoactivas en Latinoamérica” tendrán lugar los días 28\, 29 y 30 de mayo en el Palacio de Medicina de la Ciudad de México y abordarán la evolución de la percepción de las «drogas» en América Latina desde la independencia del continente hasta la actualidad (1820-2020).

SUMMARY:The Psychedelic Press: Navigating Censorship\, Ethics\, and the Market
DESCRIPTION:This community forum will explore the evolving ecosystem of psychedelic publishing and the critical role media plays in shaping public discourse\, ethical frameworks\, and cultural narratives around psychedelics. As interest in psychedelics rapidly expands\, the need for thoughtful\, responsible\, and financially sustainable platforms – across books\, journalism\, and academic journals – has never been more urgent. Together\, our speakers will reflect on the challenges of peer review\, the ethics of mainstreaming\, and the tensions between credibility\, accessibility\, and market pressures. We will explore questions such as: How has the publishing landscape responded to the resurgence of psychedelics after decades of prohibition? What are the ongoing challenges with censorship on social media? How do we balance financial sustainability with editorial integrity? What is still missing in the psychedelic publishing space\, and who remains underserved? Join us in conversation with Deborah Parrish Snyder\, co-owner and publisher of Synergetic Press\, and publishing partner of MAPS; Attila Szabo\, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Psychedelic Studies and Research Fellow at the University of Oslo; and Shelby Hartman\, Co-Founder and CEO of DoubleBlind\, whose work sits at the intersection of investigative journalism\, psychedelics\, and cultural critique. Please join us!
