NOTES |
This lecture talks about the author’s book, AYA: a Shamanic Odyssey, using it as a springboard to discuss the global ayahuasca movement and the shamanic resurgence around the world. What is shamanism and why is it important at this time of global warming and rapid cultural acceleration? Why are tens of thousands of Westerners re-engaging with ayahuasca and other earth sacraments? Razam cleverly juxtaposes his story with the history of Amazonian shamanism and the current surge of Western interest, using advances in modern physics and consciousness research to provide a definitive overview of this fast-growing global subculture and the impact it is having on the world. |
