Faced with a growing interest from the Western world in the ancestral Amazonian practice of ayahuasca, we propose a course characterized by a precise transdisciplinary vision that highlights points of contact and contrasts. Faced with a growing interest from the Western world in the ancestral Amazonian practice of ayahuasca, we propose a course characterized by a precise transdisciplinary vision that highlights points of contact and contrasts. contexts, sensitivity is required. The perception of reality in the Amazon is fundamentally different from that of the West, especially in the relationship between nature and culture and between humans and non-humans. In this scenario, the division between the disciplines that our structure of knowledge has organized seems to take on an arbitrary character. We firmly believe that bringing together knowledge from different contexts and fields on an equal footing can only benefit the renewal of a dialogue between cultures in the contemporary global context. During the Summer School “Ayahuasca, Amazonian practices and Western practices”, which will be held in Cagliari from 1 to 5 July 2025, Amazonian culture, literature together with pharmacological sciences will be at the centre of an in-depth discussion. Further perspectives will be provided by psychology, where the use of ayahuasca is paving the way for innovative treatments, and anthropology. The presence of an expert in traditional Amazonian medicine, who offers psychophysical treatments based on ayahuasca in Peru, together with local experts deeply integrated into their context, will guarantee approaches that are as much as possible from within their knowledge. Ethics and cultural appropriations will be discussed in the hope of triggering a debate on community practices of sharing knowledge rather than intellectual theft. The course includes the use of audiovisual material such as documentaries and films, debate spaces and round tables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
