The Roots of the Forum

The spirit and intention behind the World Ayahuasca Forum find deep resonance in the Declaration of the 4th Indigenous Ayahuasca Conference - a powerful expression that reflects the journey leading to this historic convergence.
What follows is a reflection inspired by the language, worldview, and vision of that Declaration, offered as a bridge to understanding the deeper context of this Forum:

“… worldview deeply linked to environmental and spiritual ecology, one that unites the human with the ‘non-human.’ A perspective that, for years, remained covered by the invisibility imposed by governments and was often discredited by science, dominant philosophy, and Western societal policies. In recent years, however, it has begun to gain space through increasing interactions between spiritual leaders—heralds of this knowledge—and sectors of the colonizing society, represented by a generation that has come to recognize the importance of these peoples and their worldview in addressing the various dilemmas and afflictions troubling the current global structure, which is profoundly imbalanced and harmful to the environment and to human existence. It also carries the need to dismantle false concepts and shift the legal perceptions of countries where organized groups use these sacred medicines.”


Inspired by the Declaration of the 4th Indigenous Ayahuasca Conference (2022), held at the Yorenka Tasorentsi Institute, Acre, Brazil.

Distinguished Voices of the Global Community.
In addition to Ayahuasca, the program will feature reflections and discussions on other biocultural traditions and sacred plants, including peyote, iboga, bufo, mushrooms, coca and jurema. Special emphasis is placed on honoring the guardians of this knowledge — Indigenous peoples and traditional lineages.

Engage with leading experts across disciplines.
Participants will hear from Indigenous spiritual leaders, scientists, artists, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who will share their unique perspectives on the globalization of ayahuasca and its diverse cultural, social, and ecological implications.

Roots of a Living Future.
Intercultural dialogue as a foundation for preserving traditions and ecosystems.
The World Forum responds to the urgent call of Indigenous spiritual leaders for deep intercultural collaboration between ancestral and Western knowledge systems. In times of unprecedented global crisis, safeguarding traditional knowledge also means protecting cultures, lands, and the balance of life on Earth.
