SUMMARY:Course: Roots of Psychedelic Therapy - Shamanism\, Ritual and Traditional Uses of Sacred Plants - Live/Online
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice: $1\,100 \nThis 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 - Live/Online
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice: $700 \nPsychedelics have encompassed a colorful history of the enchanted\, wayward\, and weird; this 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:2025 SALSA XV Biennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:The conferences of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America (SALSA) strive to provide an environment conducive to extensive discussion and exchange of ideas and information among scholars specializing in all fields of lowland South American anthropology and related disciplines. \nSALSA held twelve sesquiannual (every one and a half years) conferences since the Society was organized in 2001 until 2017. Since the XII conference in Vienna in 2019\, SALSA conferences have continued to be organized biennially. Ideally (contingent on local host sponsorship)\, the site of our conference rotates among Europe\, South America\, and North America. To date\, SALSA conferences have included thematic panels and workshops\, as well as research posters\, film screenings\, discussion forums\, publication exchanges\, museum receptions\, and other events. \nReciprocidad indígena: Reflexiones y controversias \nEl debate sobre la reciprocidad indígena está rodeado de retos y controversias. El genocidio histórico de los pueblos indígenas y otras tácticas coloniales\, como la supresión de sus lenguas\, prácticas y tradiciones\, han creado un legado de opresión que no puede borrarse ni superarse mediante ninguna forma de reparación. No obstante\, estamos asistiendo a un aumento de iniciativas dedicadas a promover la reciprocidad hacia los pueblos indígenas. Aunque a menudo se critica a estos proyectos como nuevas formas de colonialismo\, se han realizado serios intentos por establecer parámetros y definiciones actualizados para la noción de reciprocidad indígena\, reconociendo las tradiciones indígenas y su autonomía para estipular sus propios objetivos y prioridades en la ejecución de proyectos y el uso de fondos. A raíz del creciente interés mundial por las plantas medicinales\, los rituales y las tradiciones indígenas\, estas iniciativas están ganando protagonismo en el Renacimiento Psicodélico. Teniendo en cuenta estas cuestiones\, el presente panel aborda temas apremiantes\, tales como: ¿Puede considerarse la «reciprocidad indígena» como el resultado de un diálogo entre las cosmologías indígenas y las teorías occidentales de los derechos humanos\, la reparación histórica y la decolonialidad? ¿De qué manera siguen influyendo los legados coloniales en los esfuerzos por establecer relaciones recíprocas? ¿Qué propone el movimiento psicodélico mundial para construir relaciones de reciprocidad con el Sur Global? ¿Cómo afectan las propuestas de reciprocidad de los indígenas a sus estructuras comunitarias? ¿Cómo pueden actores con visiones del mundo diferentes y desigualmente posicionados en términos políticos y económicos establecer una relación recíproca que vaya más allá de los intercambios puramente mercantiles y promueva nuevas formas de justicia social?

SUMMARY:State Psilocybin Programs: Therapy and Legislation in the Southwest
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nJoin us for a timely and nuanced conversation at the intersection of psychedelic policy\, therapy\, and social equity in the U.S. Southwest. This Community Forum will explore how Latino curanderos\, Indigenous communities\, healthcare providers\, and policy advocates are shaping emerging psilocybin programs in New Mexico and Colorado. Together\, we’ll examine the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when traditional healing practices meet legislative frameworks and biomedical protocols. Key questions include: What does equitable access look like in rural and under-resourced areas like much of New Mexico? What purpose and mission guide today’s psychedelic legislation — and how can we future-proof it for a shifting federal landscape? As Colorado and New Mexico develop differing approaches — natural mushrooms vs. synthetic psilocybin — what are the implications for safety\, efficacy\, and cultural relevance? We’ll also explore how decriminalization and medicalization can coexist\, the legal standing of psychedelic churches\, and what ethical policy looks like when grounded in reciprocity\, reparations\, and right relationship with traditional medicine holders. You’ll hear from Joaquin Orozco\, board member of several psychedelic boards\, including the New Mexico Psychedelic Science Society\, Decriminalize Psychedelics New Mexico and the Rhizome Collective; Amy Wong Hope\, founder and director of the Psychedelic Studies Certificate Program at Southwestern College in Santa Fe; Josh Kappel is a founding partner of Vicente Sederberg and a founding member of the Council for Responsible Cannabis Regulation; Jaz Cadoch\, co-steward of the Global Psychedelic Society and the Community and Public Manager for the Psychedelic Health Equity Initiative; and Tamar Todd\, an attorney with expertise in policy advocacy\, legislative drafting\, statewide political campaign strategy\, regulatory implementation\, and non-profit management.
