Ethnobotanicals Just released: documentary on Ayahuasca shaman's daily life (producer here to discuss)

[HaloEffect]

Hi Bluelight - First post here, and I want to be transparent: I helped produce a documentary about an ayahuasca shaman that we just released free on YouTube. I'm sharing it because I think this community would appreciate its grounded approach to the subject.

We made it with a tiny crew in the Amazon, focusing on both the intense ceremonies and daily life of a shaman. No wellness industry angle or guru stuff - just an honest look at what this work actually involves.

Mods, if this post isn't appropriate, feel free to remove. Just thought this community might appreciate a more nuanced take on these practices.



Happy to discuss the production or answer questions.

@HaloEffect thanks for this - I'm sure it's highly appropriate!

I for one will be giving it a watch at the weekend

And, welcome to BL - stick around a minute perhaps

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and I will have a look around this forum. I've certainly used it for info-seeking in the past decade but only lurked
