Navigating the mainstreaming of psychedelics
This article critically addresses one of the most pressing questions of the current moment of the psychedelic wave: Is mainstreaming psychedelics a good thing? Our aim is not to provide a simple “yes” or “no” as an answer but to explore the tensions, controversies, disparities, inequalities, and risks that have risen in the last decades. We discuss the limits of psychedelic science as the paradigm leading this movement and the risks of an overemp…
O relatório da DEA sobre os riscos da ayahuasca: A "Ciência" a Serviço Do Proibicionismo
Em fevereiro de 2023, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) divulgou um documento para a equipe jurídica que representa a Church of the Eagle and the Condor ("CEC"). Essa divulgação ocorreu dois anos depois que a igreja, em conjunto com o Chacruna Institute, enviou duas solicitações baseadas na lei de liberdade de informação [Freedom Of Information Act] à DEA e ao Departamento de Justiça solicitando todos os registros referentes à ayahuasca.

Reflections on crafting an ayahuasca community guide for the awareness of sexual abuse
This article reflects upon the conception and development of a set of guidelines for the awareness of sexual abuse in ayahuasca settings, an assortment of scenarios that take place in local and global settings entailing the use of a psychedelic brew known for producing visionary and purgative effects composed of Amazonian Banisteriopsis caapi (ayahuasca vine) commonly combined with the leaves of Psychotria viridis (chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrer…
Música, tradução e linguagem na diáspora do Santo Daime
Este artigo aborda a diáspora do Santo Daime através de sua dimensão musical. Para isso, são estabelecidos alguns paralelos com a expansão internacional da capoeira, do neopentecostalismo e das religiões afro-brasileiras, situando a transnacionalização do Santo Daime dentro do movimento mais amplo de diáspora das religiões brasileiras e do Sul Global. Segue-se daí uma discussão sobre o papel ritual da música e sobre os hinos religiosos daimistas,…
World Ayahuasca Diaspora: Reinventions and Controversies
Ayahuasca shamanism in the Amazon and beyond
"This book discusses how Amerindian epistemology and ontology related to certain indigenous shamanic rituals of the Amazon spread to Western societies, and how indigenous, mestizo, and cosmopolitan cultures have dialogued with and transformed these forest traditions. The collection also focuses on how shamanic rituals have been spreading and developing in post-traditional urban contexts throughout the world. Special attention is given to ayahuasc…
The Effects of Ayahuasca Ritual Participation on Gay and Lesbian Identity
The practice of drinking ayahuasca-a psychoactive brew indigenous to the Amazon-has been investigated in several studies and shown to have positive long-term effects on mental states, and a particularly strong positive effect on perceptions of identity. This article discusses if these previous findings can be found in the experience of gay people, who are often taught by their culture and religion that their lifestyles, values, and sexual orienta…
