A Discussion with Yawananá Tribal Member

What Oxford Psychedelic Society are saying about their upcoming event:

Since ancient times, the Yawanawá have inhabited the headwaters of the Rio Gregório in the Western Amazon in Brazil. In this encounter, the Yawanawá will share their practices and cosmologies related to sacred forest plants. It will be a chance to reconnect with the spiritual essence of plants and rediscover the ancient wisdom related to them.

Some of the plants they will talk about include the ones used for making their sacred medicine called uni (ayahuasca) and tobacco. The Yawanawá have a magical conception of plants, always related to the enchanted beings of nature, which make up their cosmological worldview. For them traditional practices are directly related to the preservation of culture and is inseparable from the right to the territory, their relationship with nature, and sacred knowledge.

In their traditional experience, human health is intimately connected to the health of the community – and to the health of the land and Earth.
