Ayahuasca revisited: Case studies & observations

2025

This compilation expands upon the previous collection, focusing on ayahuasca. A central theme is transgenerational collective trauma. When such trauma remains unconscious, it often leads to destructive consequences, including violence, abuse, and war. While unconscious trauma may occasionally heal by chance under the right circumstances, as its prevalence increases, the likelihood of such circumstances arising diminishes. Therefore, healing requires deliberate intervention. Entheogens—i.e., psychedelics or psychosomadelics—offer an effective and accessible means of uncovering unresolved issues.

Contents:

3. Ayahuasca in the treatment of chronic childhood sexual abuse in a religious community
4. Indigenous ayahuasca ceremonies in the European context
5. Touch and play — ’spiritual attacks’ in ayahuasca ceremonies
6. The clinical trial as a ritual
