This book covers the psychedelic ayahuasca tourism in Peru, with its facet-rich psychological, pharmacological, anthropological, and sociological aspects. The reader gets an interdisciplinary insight into the historical development and the current state of ayahuasca research. Findings from three empirical studies are presented, which the author has won in a 4-year field research: How do common standards develop in this particular form of psycho-spiritual tourism? Why are people from developed nations and urban centres heading to the Amazon to ingest the psychedelic beverage Ayahuasca? How do they experience such ceremonies and retreats? Which insights, personal meaning and effects do they gain and how do they integrate their experiences into the everyday life?

Ayahuasca tourism in Peru has been widely examined, but few accounts consider all factors leading to a sense of transformation, or discuss the integration phase. This phenomenon has been conceptualised as drug, medical, and spiritual tourism, but considering the underlying desire to transform, this thesis will suggest a new label: tourism for transformation. Through ethnographic fieldwork at an ayahuasca centre outside Pucallpa, Peru, and reflection on current ayahuasca literature and industry actions, this thesis postulates that the sense of transformation comes from drinking ayahuasca (a hallucinogenic brew predominantly used for medicinal/spiritual purposes), plus previous unconsidered factors. These factors include: the formation of expectations through online interactions between industry subgroups (commentators, workers, tourists); the impact of the social and physical environment of a centre; and the challenges of reduced industry and site support once home.

Journey into the world of Ayahuasca and healing. A mysterious and powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a tea during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience practiced only by Indigenous South Americans - and sought out by the adventurous few - has, in the past fifty years, become increasingly popular around the world. Hachumak, a Peruvian medicine man, has been practicing traditional healing arts in his country for more than twenty years. His unique approach is based on ritualistic simplicity and highlights the essence of the Art, which includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this remarkable book, he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse and exploitation. Whether you are among the uninitiated and curious, or a seasoned journeyer, you will gain a deeper understanding of what shamanism is and how and why it works, as well as its possibilities and limitations. Hachumak reveals his own path to becoming a shaman and explains how a well-crafted Ayahuasca ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero. He describes in detail what to expect - both physically and psychologically - while under the guidance of the sacred plants. With Hachumak as our experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the Invisible offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the world around us.

Ayahuasca is a psychoactive substance that has long been associated with indigenous Amazonian shamanic practices. The recent rise of the drink’s visibility in the media and popular culture, and its rapidly advancing inroads into international awareness, mean that the field of ayahuasca is quickly expanding. This expansion brings with it legal problems, economic inequalities, new forms of ritual and belief, cultural misunderstandings, and other controversies and reinventions. In The World Ayahuasca Diaspora, leading scholars, including established academics and new voices in anthropology, religious studies, and law fuse case-study ethnographies with evaluations of relevant legal and anthropological knowledge. They explore how the substance has impacted indigenous communities, new urban religiosities, ritual healing, international drug policy, religious persecution, and recreational drug milieus. This unique book presents classic and contemporary issues in social science and the humanities, providing rich material on the bourgeoning expansion of ayahuasca use around the globe.

A comprehensive autobiographical account of the transforming experiences possible with ayahuasca • Reveals the protocols of a traditional ayahuasca retreat and the importance of its ritual diet, isolation, and sacred songs • Relates an extensive personal account of the traditional indigenous use of ayahuasca for healing and revelation Ayahuasca: The Visionary and Healing Powers of the Vine of the Soul is an autobiographical account of the author’s work with ayahuasca, a potent and sacred plant brew of the Amazon region that is known for its extraordinary visionary and healing powers. As she learned from her experience, with the help of ayahuasca we are able to grasp our paradoxical nature, the first step to acceptance of ourselves in both our glorious and dark aspects. Ayahuasca teaches us how to release the illusions we hold about ourselves and makes it possible to integrate our many diverse aspects to acquire our true power. This book reveals the ritual protocols that must be followed prior to partaking of ayahuasca, including the traditional preparatory “diet”--which requires enduring austere conditions, isolation, and only small amounts of bland food before receiving the powers of the plant spirit from an ayahuasquero, a healing master--and the sacred songs, icaros, that are sung when imbibing the substance. Although the use of ayahuasca is growing among “underground” spiritual seekers and through the burgeoning ayahuasca tourism trade in South America, few of its seekers understand how it is used traditionally and the importance of the rituals the indigenous people follow. With this book, the author hopes to restore the importance of these indigenous practices so that we may truly understand all the gifts of ayahuasca.

When I first arrived in Iquitos, Peru in July 2012 I did not know what day it was, but within hours of my arrival I had heard much about ayahuasca, an Amazonian jungle vine that, boiled with other jungle plants, causes hallucinations, what people referred to as "visions" that change people's lives, often, they said, for the better, if not for the Good. I was curious, but skeptical. What is this concoction of vines and leaves? What does it really do to the mind and body? Is it truly the miracle cure for the mostly spiritual ills of Modern man? I had to find out for myself, and I did so by looking into the history of the plants involved, the science of it all, the traditional and the modern religious aspects of the "ceremonies" one partakes in, the Ayahuasca Ceremonies conducted by a curandero, the medicine man who guides the ayahuasca user's journey into the unknown realm of plant spirits. I asked private people about ayahuasca, recording their accounts, noted accounts of professional writers before me, watched people under the influence of ayahuasca. I wanted to know about this experience from as many sources and from as many fields as I could find. My search for answers about ayahuasca led me to curanderos in the city of Iquitos, to curanderos in the surrounding jungles, and even into the aether itself. The more I discovered, the more skeptical I became about any genuine physical and especially psychic benefits to the individual taking this drug-- or medicine as the true believers call it. But really, I had to take it myself to know for sure. And take it I did, a number of times. This book, Confessions of an Ayahuasca Skeptic: A Journey to Enlightenment, takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into the alternate universe of Amazonian tribesmen who live in a realm of plant spirits, good and evil, and into the homes of medicine men and witch doctors to see how ayahuasca is central to their life experience and understanding of reality. One encounters in this book as well a wide variety of non-native ayahuasca proponents and detractors, all of whom add some useful stepping stone to the path to understanding the ayahuasca experience. Simple questions and bland assumptions reveal more complications than the average tourist just off the boat would have thought. Ayahuasca. I began as a skeptic.... Foreword by Peter Gorman, investigative journalist, expert on Amazonian curanderismo and author of "Ayahuasca in My Blood: 25 Years of Medicine Dreaming." This is what Gorman has to say about the book: "I will tell you that it's a damned good read... [D.W. Walker has] done his homework, been his own guinea pig, and written something pretty special."
