A psychiatrist's journey into Shamanism, Jungle and the Spirits of Ayahuasca
Manage episode 461678302 series 3619898
Simon is a dear friend and a radiating human being who brings joy and grounded beauty to the people he touches.
We talked about, plat diets, the energy of humans and plants, the 3 realms of existence, the popular spread of psychedelics and what that would means, Shipibo traditions, delicate balance of set and setting, how we are made of things we take in, making of new lineages, strange stories of creating a sacred reality.
Since 2016 Dr Simon Ruffell has been working closely with Indigenous communities in the Amazon basin, exploring the effects of the traditional psychedelic brew ayahuasca and the role of ceremony and spirit in healing. Dr Ruffell’s work encompasses two paradigms: the spiritual and the scientific. He is committed to working alongside the Shipibo-Konibo people to translate knowledge of Amazonian plant medicines, where possible, into scientific data and terminology whilst ensuring traditions are respected.
