While undertaking anthropological fieldwork in the Pichis Valley of the Peruvian Amazon, Narby became intrigued by the local community’s claim that they received their phenomenal biochemical knowledge under the influence of hallucinogens.
Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
Jeremy Narby discusses the growing popularity of ayahuasca in the Western world, what that means for indigenous shamans, and how that can increase our collective connection with nature.
In the Amazon, shamans do not talk in terms of hallucinogens but of tools for communicating with other life-forms. Ayahuasca, for example, is first and foremost a means of breaking down the barrier that separates humans from other species, allowing us to communicate with them.
Anthropologist Jeremy Narby is bringing together indigenous knowledge and Western science to inform the search for a sustainable future.
