AYAHUASCA TOURISM ALTERNATIVES
"Syncretic churches are set up in every major city in Brazil, and has even spread into smaller villages and communities deep into the jungle. One trip to Brazil has the added benefit of acquiring local contact information in your home country. Major metropolitan areas have a good percentage of English speaking locals in case you’re not familiar with Portuguese..." "...Santo Daime, the largest of the ayahuasca using syncretic religions, has entire communities of their adherents based deep in the Amazon. The largest of these, Céu do Mapiá, is also the worldwide headquarters for the Daime. What is amazing about these communities is that they have been granted rights to live in the middle of huge national forests..."

"A second step could be to precise the "what": since the seminal paper and provocative hypothesis of Amazonist anthropologist Peter Gow (1994), who put forth the idea that the currently observed ayahuasca healing shamanism among Indians originates in urban mestizo context and began to spread among Indians at the time of forced contacts during the rubber boom (~1880-1917), it is more and more evident that even among indigenous groups ayahuasca shamanism is less homogeneous, "indigenous", and stable than previously thought. Thus the healing/therapy aspect is gaining more and more importance, hence relevance, at the expense of older features of ayahuasca shamanism (e.g. for hunting or war, for collective purposes)."

Peter Gorman has written a very good article about Phyllomedusa bicolor, a frog that allows you to see where all the animals will show up in the forest. It's used for hunting How amazing is that? Is it the frog that has this soul and knowledge? Or does it open up some other world or soul, through certain chemical keys?

Among the Tukano, the partaker of the drug feels himself pulled along by powerful winds which the leading shaman explains as a trip to the Milky Way, the first stop on the way to heaven.

Similarly, the Ecuadorian Zaparo experience a sensation of being lifted into the air. The souls of Peruvian Conibo-Shipibo shamans fly about in the form of a bird; or shamans may travel in a supernatural canoe manned by demons to reconquer lost or stolen souls.

PLANT SENTIENCE AS SEEN THROUGH AN SHAMANIC AMAZONIAN WORLDVIEW by Kevin Furnas (related below)
- Kevin Furnas #559-63-9501 kevinfurnas@yahoo.com was born in San Francisco and has spent many years exploring and learning from various cultures around the world. He underwent shamanic initiation at Sachamama Ethnobotanical Gardens outside of Iquitos, Peru and spent 20 months dieting with various plants, trees and stones. Before his passing, he resided in Cuzco, Peru where he was in the midst of studying the Andean system, performing ceremonies, and writing a series of books on the diet process.

"I stayed for two weeks with Percy Garcia, he has a range of different strengths of diets available and his centre is beautiful, an absolutely outstanding curandero located in Iquitos, two weeks cost $700 He does three ceremonies a week. It is definately worth it."
