June Community Meeting-The Santo Diame Church and Ayahuasca in Brazil

Join the Key Peninsula Psychedelic Society for a brief talk on Brazil’s rich Ayahuasca heritage. This talk journeys through the syncretic churches of the Santo Daime and Barquinha—where Folk Catholicism and Spiritism meet the forest medicine—alongside the ancient, foundational lineages of Native Brazilian groups like the Huni Kuin and Yawanawá. We will discuss the unique rituals, sacred iconography like the Cruzeiro, and the cultural evolution of these traditions as they bridge indigenous Amazonian wisdom with modern spiritual practice.
