Description

:This course advances Indigenous and other cultural ways of knowing by introducing students to traditional holistic systems of healing that include sacred plant medicines. This includes short term fieldwork opportunities (typically 8-10 days) among traditional healers and/ or entheogenic religious communities where the spiritual and communal dimensions of healing are centre stage. Students will have the opportunity to learn from traditional healers (shamans, curanderos, madrihnas, etc.), observe the ritual and ceremonial bases of healing, and examine the uses of non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC) for addressing mental health concerns, personal growth, and improved wellbeing. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the cultural context of the healing practice, neuropharmacology of serotonergic plant medicines, psychological mechanisms of change, and cultural approaches for self-care.
This course will be offered virtually
