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:Workshop: Ecology\, Spirituality and Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nSpiritually-integrated and ecologically conscious psychedelic care supports social justice. Through valuing reciprocity\, planetary healing\, Indigenous wisdom\, & the honoring of ecological grief\, justice-based psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) views ecosystems as relational networks rather than resources\, and extends healing benefits beyond individuals to communities and the global environment. Earth-based rituals\, nature-focused treatments for PTSD\, and practices that support nature connectedness expand PAT beyond a clinical\, biomedical model of care. Attendees will: \n– Describe eco-chaplaincy as an emerging specialization within professional chaplaincy and training and certification pathways for professional eco-chaplains\n– Discuss the importance of planetary health and the well-being of the more than human world to an conception of human health and well-being\n– Describe the mechanism by which increasing nature connectedness and the appropriate use of psychedelic medicine improve mental health\, and how their synergistic use may further enhance therapeutic outcomes \nThis workshop is for professional spiritual health practitioners\, eco-chaplains\, psychedelic therapists\, scholars and anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality\, ecological consciousness\, and psychedelic care.
