As interest in Ayahuasca grows, so does pop culture’s dialogue, reminding us there is always more to be discovered beneath the surface. Whether you watched an ayahuasca documentary, read about this powerful medicine in an article, or heard about it from a friend’s transformative ayahuasca experience, it is by no coincidence Ayahuasca is gaining traction worldwide.

Today, we are blessed to live in a world where globalization and information technologies have literally put the whole corpus of human knowledge on the palm of our hand. This is not to say that everything we need to reach enlightenment is our smartphone — but rather that the possibility to access perennial wisdom is there for anyone. People can travel to Rishikesh or Dharmsala in India to study yoga or Mahayana Buddhism, walk the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain or work with plant teachers in Peru, Mexico or West Africa. Even if we don’t want to travel far, teachers and schools of almost every imaginable spiritual or mystical tradition can probably be found not too far from where we live. The myths and stories of cultures across space and time are available for anyone willing to listen. And, remarkably, the wisdom that they encode, although varied and diverse in shape and form, is remarkably consistent in its essence: the perennial heart of wisdom, in its many, beautiful forms, points out to the same, basic cosmic rules for living a good life in alignment with Source.

In previous blogposts, we shared about the history of Ayahuasca, the increasingly popular Amazonian brew known for its powerful psychoactive properties. We have seen how this traditional medicine, made from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine and the Psychotria viridis shrub, has has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes in the Amazon, for a variety of purposes. In this article, we will focus less on the history or the cultural and social context of the different uses. Rather, we will explore one of the most common tropes in the plant medicine world: Can Ayahuasca really change the world?
