Ayahuasca, psychedelics, and Dr Joe Tafur's journey from trained doctor to the Peruvian Amazon
"I had the opportunity to enter into a traditional ceremony and I had a major shift."
Find out more at https://www.drjoetafur.com/
Dr Joe has written two books, both available now:
‘The fellowship of the river’ and ‘Medicine song: spiritual healing and the psychedelic renaissance’
Follow Dr Joe on Insta https://www.instagram.com/dr.joetafur/
Find him on all other socials too.
Psychedelics have been used for thousands of years in traditional indigenous ceremonies – particularly in parts of South America. Research is showing very promising results for psychedelic therapy when it comes to things like treatment resistant depression, PTSD, and addiction. However despite a growing body of evidence on what psychedelic therapy can do, ayahuasca (along with other psychedelics) is classified in the UK (and in many other parts of the world) as a Schedule 1 drug. Dr Sophie is therefore not advocating the use of any illegal substances.
