Jeremy Narby (born 1959 in Montreal, Quebec) is Canadian anthropologist and author of numerous book. We speak about his latest publication: Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge In his books, Narby examines shamanism, molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. Narby grew up in Montreal, Quebec, and Switzerland. He studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He has a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University and spent time in the Peruvian Amazon undertaking his PhD research starting in 1984. During those years living with the Ashaninca, Narby cateloguued indigenous uses of rainforest resources to help combat ecological destruction. Narby has written and edited five books, as well as sponsored an expedition to the rainforest for biologists and other scientists to examine indigenous knowledge systems and the utility of Ayahuasca in gaining knowledge. The resulting documentary film was Night of the Liana. Since 1989, Narby has been working as the Amazonian projects director for the Swiss Non-governmental organiation, Nouvelle Planète. Narby and three molecular biologists feature in the documentary Night of the Liana that documents them revising the Peruvian Amazon to test hypothesis presented in Intelligence in Nature.

"Plants are here on this planet on purpose, in symbiosis with humans" - Jamie Thornhill Michael and Jamie Thornhill are my guests today on the podcast. Michael is returning for his second appearance and his wife Jamie also joins us! They are the founders of Casa Galactica, a retreat center in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Michael is a curandero, professional channel, and trauma informed multidimensional healer. Jamie is an Intuitive and Medium, which means she utilizes her multi-sensory abilities to see beyond the visible, physical world and into the subtle energies that surround us at all times.  She is also an Assistant Healer, trained in the Noya Rao lineage of Shipibo curanderismo. In the last interview we were able to sample Michael's channeling skill, and in this interview, Jamie shares with use some of her abilities as an intuitive. We will also go deep into understanding different types of healing and ways that people can work with plants as teachers - it doesn't have to be psychedelic. Quotes: "Plants are here on this planet on purpose, in symbiosis with humans" - Jamie Thornhill "Ayahuasca opens a portal to the interdimensional realm" - Michael and Jamie Thornhill "Learn to be quiet and connect with the plant as a teacher" -Michael and Jamie Thornhill "You can connect to plant spirits in your daily life" -Michael and Jamie Thornhill "Suffering also has intelligence and love in it" -Michael and Jamie Thornhill "You are the captain of your own journey here on earth" -Michael and Jamie Thornhill Continue the adventure: Casa Galactica Redlands Psychologists You'll also love these episodes: Michael Thornhill | Founder of Casa Galactica, Ayahuasca Retreat Center, on Healing Trauma and Channeling Interdimensional Beings Maryn Azoff | Vocal Transformation, Radical Honesty, Primordial Confidence, and More!

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye is joined by Dr. Jeremy Narby, PhD. Dr. Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author. In his books, Narby examines shamanism and molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. He grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury, and received his doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. He works as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète.He is the author of several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge” (New York: Penguin/Tarcher, 1998).Dr. Narby discusses his book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the pursuit of Knowledge, which he coauthored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, an elder of the indigenous Shawi people of Peru. Dr. Narby goes into great detail about the cultural aspects of plant medicines in indigenous cultures. In particular, the South American, Shamanic uses of both tobacco and ayahuasca. Tobacco as it has been adulterer by European-based framing and industrial practices is nothing like the plant as used in South American, indigenous healing and spiritual practices. Overall, Dr. Narby advocates and hopes for a blending of Western approaches to science and medicine with that of the wisdom traditions of indigenous elders.Dr. Narby's website:https://greatmystery.org/jeremynarby/Plant Teachers Book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Teachers-Ayahuasca-Tobacco-Knowledge/dp/1608687732The Psychology Talk Podcast is a unique conversation about psychology around the globe.

This week we explore our evolving relationships with the natural world, reflecting on the many ways that Nature has guided, invited and taught us along the way.We share stories of where, when, and how these relationships quickened and deepened, and how particular encounters kindled a recognition of the intelligence of the "other than human" beings with whom we share the planet. We contemplate interconnectedness and co-evolution, and marvel at the capacity for direct communication between humans and plants. We honor teachers, books, places, plants, and practices that have supported us to remember that we are never truly alone in a world that is viscerally alive and sentient.May this conversation inspire you to deepen your sense of belonging in and to the world (and support your nervous system!) by accessing more pathways to connect with the living, breathing quality of life on planet Earth. This conversation includes the voices of Hallie Dalsimer, Ally Rugge, Alex Crow, and Ashley Berry. Embodiment Practice/ Guided Grounding ends at 12:30Recording Date: January 20, 2022 Humans & resources mentioned (in order of reference) :Peter Wohlleben : The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate | https://www.peter-wohlleben.de/ueber-michTony(a) Lemos : Blazing Star Herbal School | https://blazingstarherbalschool.typepad.comOn Being with Krista Tippett | https://onbeing.orgTaos Pueblo | https://taospueblo.comRobin Wall Kimmerer : Braiding Sweetgrass and Gathering Moss | https://www.robinwallkimmerer.comMartin Prechtel | https://www.martinprechtel.comBill Plotkin | https://www.animas.orgJamie Sams and David Carson : Medicine Cards Oracle Deck: The Discovery of Power Through The Ways of Animals | https://medicinecards.com Influential humans & resources (not mentioned) who we want to acknowledge :Ally RuggeJamie Sams | The 13 Original Clan Mothers and Sacred PathMary Siisip Geniusz | Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have To Do is Ask: Anishinaabe Botanical TeachingsPat McCabe/Woman Stands Shining | The Earth Talks, Indigenous Ways of KnowingTree Sisters hosts Pat McCabe/Woman Stands Shining | Indigenous Wisdom for EarthAshley BerryDaphne Lowell and Alton Wasson | https://www.contemplativedance.orgNature and Contemplative DanceVictoria Loorz, Brian Stafford, Matt Syrdal, and Rev.

In Amazonian Shamanism, gaining experience with ayahuasca is important, and what is more important is learning the wisdom that the master plant teachers of the Amazon and of the forests are telling us. Bringing this wisdom in and calling in the plant spirits into ayahuasca ceremony aids in deeper healing, support & protection for safe and powerful ceremonies for the participants. In this story I share what profound insight & wisdom I gained by just sitting in isolation & saturating myself with the one of the tallest, and most magical trees in the Amazon Rainforest, Lupuna Blanca.

On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye is joined by Dr. Jeremy Narby, PhD. Dr. Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author. In his books, Narby examines shamanism and molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. He grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury, and received his doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. He works as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète.He is the author of several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge” (New York: Penguin/Tarcher, 1998).Dr. Narby discusses his new book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the pursuit of Knowledge, which he coauthored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, an elder of the indigenous Shawi people of Peru. Dr. Narby goes into great detail about the cultural aspects of plant medicines in indigenous cultures. In particular, the South American, Shamanic uses of both tobacco and ayahuasca. Tobacco as it has been adulterer by European-based framing and industrial practices is nothing like the plant as used in South American, indigenous healing and spiritual practices. Overall, Dr. Narby advocates and hopes for a blending of Western approaches to science and medicine with that of the wisdom traditions of indigenous elders.Dr. Narby's website:https://greatmystery.org/jeremynarby/Plant Teachers Book at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Teachers-Ayahuasca-Tobacco-Knowledge/dp/1608687732The Psychology Talk Podcast is a unique conversation about psychology around the globe.

Hey everybody! Episode 72 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jeremy Narby. I was familiar with Jeremy for many years ever since the release of his popular book, The Cosmic Serpent. Jeremy recently released a new book, co-written with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, called Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge. It's a very good read and speaks about two plants that I have worked closely with: ayahuasca and tobacco. There has been a lot of literature released in the last decade about ayahuasca, but very little about tobacco, a plant in some ways equal to, and in some regards, more widely viewed as medicine than ayahuasca. I was very happy to hear that Jeremy had released a book talking about tobacco, because I feel there is a need for more clarity on this highly regarded plant medicine, and Jeremy is a great person to begin to speak about it. I really enjoyed this conversation with Jeremy, listening to some of his stories, hearing his perspective on ayahuasca and tobacco, and having him speak about the new book. I think and hope you all will learn from this episode. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below.

Jeremy Narby, PhD, is co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri. This brief, information-packed book presents a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing. Narby became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland and works as Amazonian projects director for Nouvelle Planète, a nonprofit organization that promotes the economic and cultural empowerment of indigenous peoples.

Anthropologist Jeremy Narby first learned of the shamanic uses of ayahuasca and tobacco while conducting fieldwork in the Amazon region decades ago. After witnessing the transformative power of these mind-altering plants, Narby embarked on a quest to understand their effects on human consciousness. His search led him to contact Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, a traditional healer from the Peruvian Amazon. “The dose makes the poison,” says an old adage, reminding us that all substances have the potential to heal or to harm, depending on their use. This is especially true of tobacco. Although Western medicine treats it as a harmful addictive drug, tobacco is considered medicinal by indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. In its unadulterated form, it holds a central place in their repertoire of traditional medicines. Along with the hallucinogen ayahuasca, tobacco forms a part of treatments designed to heal the body, stimulate the mind, and inspire the soul with visions.In Plant Teachers, Narby and Pizuri hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing two distinct worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.Plant Teachers on Amazon:    https://www.amazon.com/dp/1608687732 

This week we speak with Jeremy Narby, author and anthropologist, on botanics and biology and their applications in psychedelic therapy. He has written several books including "Plant Teachers" and "The Cosmic Snake" as well as co-authored "The Psychotropic Mind".Jeremy grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Canterbury, receiving a doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. Jeremy spent several years living with the Ashaninca tribe in the Peruvian Amazon, cataloging indigenous uses of rainforest resources.Jeremy has worked since 1989 as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss non-profit Nouvelle Planète, backing projects for the self-determination of Amazonian indigenous peoples that involve land rights, primary education, village health, botanical knowledge, fish farms, tree nurseries, and other local initiatives.

"There is no good or evil, what there is, is prey and predator, that illness is our invisible entity that can come and kill us. We as hunters can go and kill animals, some animals can come and kill us. As long as we're alive as human people like this in this world, our job is to stay alive and to stay alive we have to kill plants and animals but we have to do it with respect because we know that they're members of our family so this means taking them into consideration doesn't mean not killing them. The whole amazonian eco cosmology and there are differences between the different cultures..." --- Jeremy NarbyIn this episode, AJ of @mysevenchakras and Jeremy, a Canadian Anthropologist, talks about mind-blowing topics such as plant medicine, sacred tobacco, mother ayahuasca, spiritual cleansing, sorcerers and the power of unseen realms of existence.Jeremy Narby, PhD, is co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri.  He became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland and works as Amazonian projects director for Nouvelle Planète, a nonprofit organization that promotes the economic and cultural empowerment of indigenous peoples.To learn more about Jeremy Narby and his books visit his Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Jeremy-Narby/e/B001K8G6DQ%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_shareKey Points DiscussedIf you want to understand third world development, go to a place where there is an occurrence of a big development project happening on lands of indigenous people. (4:56)I'm not a big fan of insects or snakes, I was not attracted to tropical rain forest but at the same time, If you want to become an Anthropologists, you go somewhere tough, you go to where you don't want to go and you study something difficult and interesting and then you become a Doctor of Anthropology. (7:46)In the Amazon there's Nicotiana Tobacco, Nicotiana Rustica there are several kinds of Tobacco. The Tobacco that they grow has up to 20% nicotine compared to 1% in the Tobacco that Virginia plants tobaccos. This is very powerful, filled with psychoactive alkaloids and people consumed hallucinatory doses of this Tobacco. I mean in their culture it's a hallucination. It's another thing that people don't know, It's a hallucinogenic plant. (14:10)Music becomes the medium for exchange with the invisible world which itself is made of music. It's made of knowledge and it's made of music (23:03)Amazonian people have different ways of making oppositions. Everybody in the world is dualist. In Western dualism, there are absolute categories. Good and evil, body, mind, nature, culture are absolutely opposed to each other conceptually. (30:43)It's not really a question of good or evil. It's a question of pragmatically staying alive. You actually do not want to become prey, it's that we want to celebrate being predators, it's that being predators without getting eaten is the only way of staying alive. It's about smart strategy. (35:16)Talking about how Amazonian people used their resources rationally and the best way to protect the rain forest was to entrust it to their indigenous inhabitants. (39:40)This is something that should need studying, the hallucinatory nature of Tobaccos understudied subject for the moment. Science has mainly not studied Tobacco as a hallucinogen and it's mainly studied as a cigarette version of a plant. That kind of research that needs to be done. 43:57)From the indigenous point of view taking power from this route and empowering oneself, they will call that sorcery. (47:05)It is necessarily a risky proposition that you take with your psychic so when you're dealing with a powerful hallucinogen like Ayahuasca you want to ask yourself why you're doing this?

Jeremy Narby, PhD is an anthropologist and best-selling author of The Cosmic Serpent as well as a co-author of Plant Teachers with indigenous elder Rafael Chanchari Pizuri. He became an early pioneer of ayahuasca research while living with the Ashaninca people of the Peruvian Amazon in the 1980s. He studied anthropology at Stanford University and now lives in Switzerland. In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael co-explore indigenous and scientific perspectives on both ayahuasca and tobacco and their ceremonial and medicinal usage. In Plant Teachers, Jeremy and Rafael hold a cross-cultural dialogue that explores the similarities between ayahuasca and tobacco, the role of these plants in indigenous cultures, and the hidden truths they reveal about nature. Juxtaposing and synthesizing two worldviews, Plant Teachers invites readers on a wide-ranging journey through anthropology, botany, and biochemistry, while raising tantalizing questions about the relationship between science and other ways of knowing.

Can science learn anything from Indigenous knowledge about local plants, and animals? Can science acknowledge that debt and offer reciprocity?

He creates a container of safety, confidentiality, and empowerment; present and welcoming to all wherever you are at.  Observing reality as it is, within the framework of the body, moment to moment, is the essence of vipassana; a meditation practice that one learns in a 10 day silent course. Since 2008 Chris has sat a dozen of these courses which have developed in him a deep awareness and equanimity about suffering and its causes. As an initiated Sufi and leader in the Dances of Universal Peace, Chris is able to relate with the wisdom of all the great traditions.  In 2010 Chris experienced his first plant medicine ceremony; this set in motion a motorcycle journey across South America and an ongoing relationship, healing, and education with the wisdom of the Plant Teachers. Visiting the Amazon is now a regular part of life that informs him ever more deeply about the interconnectivity of all things. It is with great respect, humility, and gratitude that Chris continues his work with entheogens.  He is a certified addictions recovery and psycho-spiritual integration coach with Being True To You. With a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and trained as a CHEK Practitioner, Chris is well connected in the holistic elements of human health and fitness Chris is a husband and father who lives in the mountains of British Columbia.

Most of us have heard of Ayahuasca, but have you heard of Iboga? Iboga is the chief plant spirit of West Africa, and for the Bwiti and Pygmy people, Iboga has been used for thousands of years for physical and spiritual healings, spiritual self-discovery, and to study the Art of Living.It is said that “Iboga is the ultimate guide and healer for our time here on Earth. It helps us to release the past (depression) and stop worrying about potential futures (anxiety) so that we can find peace in the present moment.”“It weaves its way through the caverns of our mind, rewiring and resetting the patterns of thought and belief that manifest our reality. Through this powerful reset, we are able to reformat our brains, carving out new, self-serving neuropathways as we disengage the old, toxic ones.”The resulting peace of mind shifts us into a flow with — not a resistance to — life itself.”On this episode, I welcome Levi Barker from the Iboga Wellness Center in Csta Rica to talk about how Iboga made its way to the West, its popularity with Opioid detox, Levi's own journey with the medicine, and what one can expect when experiencing healing from Iboga vs. Ayahuasca.CONNECT WITH LEVI + IBOGA WELLNESS CENTER: Website | Ibogawellness.comCONNECT WITH MADISON Instagram | @themetawithmadisonWork with me | madisonhatten.comSupport the show
