Hall
The Global Dialogues Hall hosts an intercultural and interdisciplinary meeting ground where Indigenous leaders, researchers, policy experts, practitioners and community leaders exchange perspectives on the global expansion of ayahuasca.
This space examines the ethical, biocultural, social, and spiritual implications of ayahuasca’s expansion and explores collaborative pathways forward.
Friday, 11 September
Day 1 traces ayahuasca’s journey from the Indigenous Amazon out into the world, covering its expansion across Brazil, other Amazonian countries, and beyond.
It will also examine the history of ayahuasca research — reflecting on existing gaps in the studies and on the effort to build bridges between Indigenous cosmovisions and scientific approaches.
Saturday 12 September
Day 2 examines safety, ethics, and risk prevention in ayahuasca work across diverse settings, including retreat centers and urban spaces.
We explore integration, legal defense strategies from criminalization to acquittals, and reflect on research gaps, blind spots, and building bridges between Indigenous worldviews and scientific approaches.
Sunday 13 September
Day 3 explores how Indigenous medicine systems understand health and healing, examining decolonization and intercultural approaches.
We discuss emerging regulatory pathways for ayahuasca — from decriminalization to rights-based frameworks — and hear community-led self-regulation proposals from several countries awaiting state-level changes.
