A Free Ayahuasca Ceremony for Canadian Politicians

From time to time, AI-generated videos appear on social media showing world leaders taking part in an ayahuasca ceremony to temper their egos and belligerence — and, touched by the grace of the Great Spirit, making peace as brothers and sisters and finally banishing their greed and thirst for power.

This doesn’t look likely to happen any time soon, but every journey begins with a first step. One such step is being taken by the Companionship for the Sacred Vine (CSV): organizing a free ceremony so that Canadian politicians can experience the Amazonian sacramental brew first-hand.

‘Voices of Ayahuasca’: A Documentary Series to Advocate for the Amazonian Beverage

Over a year ago, we asked for your help from the Ayahuasca Defense Platform to record a series of documentaries about the Amazonian sacramental beverage.

The reason that prompted us to take this step was to defend the ayahuasca community from a campaign of attacks by the Spanish police and certain media outlets, a strategy orchestrated to stigmatize the practice of ayahuasca.

In these 14 months, we have recorded and edited the first two episodes of the series ‘Voices of Ayahuasca’, namely, ‘The Science of Ayahuasca’ and ‘Santo Daime, the Religion of the Forest’, which, as we promised at the time, can be viewed for free on our YouTube channel.
