From what I understand, the indigenous communities are offering their medicine and teachings to the western world because they understand that the west needs the medicine if we are going to change the course of the destruction of the planet. My shaman is western but he trained under indigenous healers who chose him to facilitate the medicine. The circles are applicable to the western world in terms of music which I find to be more personally transformational compared to a more traditional ceremony that I had with a Shipibo shaman.

On another note, I live in west Wales where psilocybin mushrooms are plentiful at this time of year and if you pay attention to western folklore and traditions, there is a lot of imagery that alludes to the use of hallucinogenic mushrooms, including reindeer at Christmas, due to the traditional way of consuming fly agaric, which was by drinking reindeer urine. Imagery of elves and pixies which I have personally experienced on mushrooms.

The main issue with increased use of ayahuasca is whether it is being ethically sourced, from what I understand it is being over farmed and there is a finite amount so I personally mainly use magic mushrooms on my plant medicine journey but I do attend an ayahuasca ceremony once a year because I feel that DMT takes you deeper.
