AyaSafety no enseña a guiar sesiones de ayahuasca. Y eso vale la pena explicarlo. El curso se centra en lo que sí podemos enseñar: seguridad física y psicológica, filtrado de participantes, integración, atención de emergencias y gestión de riesgos para facilitadores y participantes. Las dimensiones rituales, ceremoniales y espirituales del trabajo con ayahuasca importan, y mucho, pero no nos corresponde enseñarlas, y tampoco creemos que un curso en línea constituya el espacio adecuado para ello.

In this second installment of our series exploring the shape and spirit of the World Ayahuasca Forum — the first entirely Indigenous-led gathering of its kind, taking place September 11-13 in Girona, Spain — we turn to one of its most distinctive spaces: the Global Dialogues Hall. As ayahuasca practices expand across the world, new questions surface about ethics, responsibility, and cultural context. Who holds authority over these traditions as they cross borders? How do legal frameworks developed far from their origins affect the communities that have carried them for generations? What responsibilities fall on researchers, practitioners, and institutions that engage with these medicines outside their original territories? The Global Dialogues Hall addresses these questions directly. Designed as a space for intercultural encounter rather than institutional monologue, it brings together Indigenous leaders, researchers, policy experts, practitioners, and community representatives to ex

Only a few days left. Community Circles close on March 31. Over the past weeks, we’ve seen a strong response — a community stepping in to support this work. And still, we need more people to make it sustainable. This is more than access. It’s about sustaining independent work that supports people navigating complex legal, health, and integration situations around plant practices. And it’s about having a space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone. If this work matters to you, this is the moment to step in. 🔗 iceers.org/circles #ICEERS #CommunityCircles #PsychedelicIntegration #PlantMedicine #HarmReduction #Ayahuasca #PsychedelicSafety #Integration #SupportTheMission #ConsciousCommunity
