If you want to gain clarity about the Amazonian brew ayahuasca, you're in the right place.
As you've probably noticed, ayahuasca has become something of a celebrity around the world recently. Many people are suddenly seeking healing and transformation from the brew.
At the same time, the Internet has become littered with misinformation about ayahuasca. The need for a grounded and realistic education about the risks, benefits, cultural diversity, and approaches to actually drinking ayahuasca has never been more important.
People who drink ayahuasca navigate personal depths that are difficult to access with other techniques. The ayahuasca experience is unique to each individual.
This is because:
Ayahuasca relies on you to deeply participate in the healing journey. Far from being a "magic pill", ayahuasca is more like a teacher that opens one's inner being.
Ayahuasca amplifies your emotions and displays vivid imagery to your mind's eye. This helps you understand your past, present, and potential future.
Ayahuasca integrates the mind and body to help purify your emotions. The brew can give you an experience of being meaningfully connected to life.
Since 2014, Kahpi Professor Draulio de Araujo, a researcher at the Brain Institute in Natal, Brazil, has been investigating the effects of ayahuasca on a group of eighty people, half of whom suffer from sever depression. "If one word comes up, it is tranquillity", he said. "A lot of our individuals, whether they are depressed or not, have a sense of peace after the experience." - The New Yorker Magazine, September 12, 2016.
Professor Draulio de Araujo, PhD.
Teacher of the Kahpi lessons on Ayahuasca and the Brain.
Scientific evidence is mounting to suggest ayahuasca, when used correctly, can help alleviate depression, addiction, anxiety, and trauma.
Leading researchers Dr. Ede Frecska and colleagues reviewed this evidence in an article about how the therapeutic effects of ayahuasca can help against "diseases of civilization", published in the prestigious journal Frontiers in Pharmacology.
Moving beyond healing, new research is suggesting ayahuasca may also enhance the lives of healthy people by increasing life satisfaction and boosting creativity.
That's why we arranged a series of talented and expert teachers to present clear and empowering lessons about ayahuasca.
