Event Details

Harm Reduction in Ayahuasca Practices: Challenges of Globalization

AyaSafety is a comprehensive, six-month training program designed to support facilitators working with ayahuasca in non-traditional contexts. Integrating scientific research, real-world experience, and psychological and ethical frameworks, the course offers 45 hours of practical content, including weekly video lessons, live Q&A sessions with experts, and access to professional safety protocols.

Participants learn to identify and manage physical, psychological, ethical, and legal risks; apply screening and informed consent procedures; support post-ceremony integration; and navigate complex relational dynamics with clear ethical boundaries. The course also covers medical contraindications, drug interactions, and tools developed by professionals in medicine, psychology, and bioethics. Designed to foster deeper self-awareness and professional maturity, AyaSafety connects facilitators to a global community dedicated to safe, responsible, and ethically grounded plant medicine work.
