Keynote: Otis Jasper on Honouring Indigenous Roots

Honoring Indiginous Roots. Scientists studying the clinical applications of psychedelics inevitably find their way to ayahuasca, shaminism and the role of natural mind altering substances within indigenous spirituality and religious practice. In a field of study where science and religion can truly coexist, researchers and non indigenous people must be mindful of honoring the traditions of sacred plants as they attempt to build a bridge between native cultures and the efficacy of their medicine. This session will consider the traditional use of psychedelics and the reciprocity that must come along with adapting it
