This Webinar Will Cover:
Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon
Discover the extraordinary diversity of Indigenous societies across the Amazon, their ways of life, relationship with the forest, and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world.
Amazonian Cosmologies
Explore different ways of understanding the relationship between humans, animals, plants, rivers, ancestors and the spirit world — and how these perspectives challenge the way we think about nature and our place within it.
Sacred Plants & Traditional Medicine
Learn about the medicinal and ceremonial use of plants such as ayahuasca and other Amazonian medicines, and the knowledge, rituals and cultural traditions that surround them.
Learning from the Forest
What can Indigenous ecological knowledge teach us about plants, healing, relationships and our understanding of the natural world? And how can we approach Indigenous knowledge with curiosity, respect and humility rather than romanticising or appropriating it?
