What you will learn

Understanding what the “effects” of ayahuasca are, and which ones they are, is complex. In this introductory course we present the training program of Eleusis Association (AE), whose ultimate goal is to facilitate this understanding.

Description

Our training includes two lines of work: first a basic training program composed of six courses. Secondly monographic courses on various topics..

Since 2018 AE’s basic training has been the Basic Course (AE1). It will be available online by the end of october, if all goes well. This free introductory course titled “introduction to the ‘effects’ of ayahuasca” is a presentation and introduction to the Basic Course (AE1).

Once the AE1 course has been completed, the student can access, if he or she wishes, the Eleusis Workshop.

Who is this course for?

The course is designed for the general public. However, it could be of special interest for the following people:

• Anthropologists working in the field of religious and spiritual practices, as well as practices associated with healing/affliction processes.
• Professionals from the health sciences who wish to broaden their notion of medicine and health from a non-biomedical perspective.
• Therapists who practice healing as complementary/alternative medicine, integrative medicine, traditional medicine and, in general, any practitioner of spiritual or energetic techniques.

Are there any requirements to take the course?

The only requirement for this course is intellectual curiosity for the foundations of our existence. To deepen later, the person must feel the need, and have the will, to make some real change in their life.
