Entheogenic Studies

Так как раздел со ссылками распух, я сейчас отдельно дам ссылки на сайты организаций, проводящих академические исследования различных энтеогенов и психоделиков. Перечисляю в порядке увеличения провокационности. Список, похоже, будет изредка обновляться. Я пока что из-за нехватки времени пытаюсь догнать аудио подкаст Мартина Болла The Entheogenic Evolution, который почти в самом хвосте списка. Если кому долго или дорого качать - у меня есть архив, два GB, без последних полутора месяцев. Многие ресурсы такого качества что если уж ими заниматься - то весьма серьезно. К тому же, все на английском. Если кто знает что-то подобного качества на русском - буду рад увидеть ссылки (у меня пара есть).
Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a membership-based non-profit research and educational organization. We assist scientists to design, fund, obtain approval for and report on studies into the risks and benefits of MDMA, psychedelic drugs and marijuana. MAPS' mission is to sponsor scientific research designed to develop psychedelics and marijuana into FDA-approved prescription medicines, and to educate the public honestly about the risks and benefits of these drugs. Read our strategy statement for more information.
Neuropsychopharmacology
Neuropsychopharmacology is an international scientific journal and the official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. The journal focuses on clinical and basic science contributions that advance our understanding of the brain and behaviour.
Cottonwood Research Foundation
Development of new technology capable of measuring previously undetectable levels of the compounds: N,N-dimethyltryptamine, 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, bufotenine, and metabolites, all of which occur widely in the plant and animal kingdom. Perform research into effects, mechanisms of action, and relevance of plant-based psychoactive materials in psychiatric research and treatment. Any and all requisite local, state, and federal regulatory conditions will be closely followed.
The Council on Spiritual Practices
CSP is a collaboration among spiritual guides, experts in the behavioral and biomedical sciences, and scholars of religion, dedicated to making direct experience of the sacred more available to more people. There is evidence that such encounters can have profound benefits for those who experience them, for their neighbors, and for the world. CSP has a twofold mission: to identify and develop approaches to primary religious experience that can be used safely and effectively, and to help individuals and spiritual communities bring the insights, grace, and joy that arise from direct perception of the divine into their daily lives.
Sage Wisdom Botanicals
The premiere source for Salvia divinorum (salvia) and other remarkable herbs. Offering the finest quality leaves, extracts, live plants, books, and more.
erowid.org
Erowid is a member-supported organization providing access to reliable, non-judgmental information about psychoactive plants, chemicals, and related issues. We work with academic, medical, and experiential experts to develop and publish new resources, as well as to improve and increase access to already existing resources. We also strive to ensure that these resources are maintained and preserved as a historical record for the future. We imagine a world where people treat psychoactives with respect and awareness; where people work together to collect and share knowledge in ways that strengthen their understanding of themselves and provide insight into the complex choices faced by individuals and societies alike. We believe that truth, accuracy, and integrity in publishing information about psychoactives will lead to healthier and more balanced choices, behaviors, and policies around all psychoactive medications, entheogens, herbs, and recreational drugs. Erowid's vision is to facilitate and create resources that are part of the evolution towards this goal.
Shamanism at the Edge
Northern Edge Algonquin is a welcoming sanctuary for shamanism students and teachers who wish to enhance their practice of shamanism by learning, sharing, and practicing with others. Nurture yourself with healthy food, fresh air, intimate conversation, unique learning opportunities and feel supported along the journey as a member of an online shamanic community.
Shaman's Drum
Shaman's Drum is the leading magazine on experiential shamanism for twenty years. We invite you to explore with us the extraordinary worlds of shamanic healing, entheogenic sacraments, and ecstatic spirituality.
The Entheogenic Evolution
This podcast is dedicated to the discussion of the responsible and spiritual use of entheogens as agents of personal transformation and evolution. As sacred tools, etheogens have the power to "awaken the divine within" and bring us closer to our connection with the Sacred and with Spirit. For all those who walk the path of plant-based medicine and spiritual enlightenment...
Gnostic Media
Here, the word “gnostic” simply pertains to knowledge — mystical and esoteric knowledge — and extends far beyond a study of what are commonly referred to as the “Gnostic Texts.” We focus on occult (or secret) knowledge that has been suppressed over time and sculpted into the religions of the world. This occult knowledge, held sacred to the religious elite, is now rising to the surface as more and more parallels are found between the controlling religions of the world and the native peoples left in their wake.
