Psychedelic Integration
Psychedelic Integration explores the young and still underdeveloped field of integration, tracing the history of psychedelic therapy trials in the sixties to the present moment, where integration may soon become common parlance in psychotherapy. This work describes how to maximize psychedelic integration, as well as the deep therapeutic work of moving through adverse reactions. Aixalà undertakes the great challenge of transforming multifaceted psychedelic healing, which can often feel so ineffable, into an intelligible guide for the curious reader and practicing therapist alike. Braiding poetic metaphors with case studies and a multitude of spiritual traditions, this book situates the author's humble and compassionate approach to therapy within a flourishing field. The work acknowledges that these models continue to evolve as they are written: the science and artistry of understanding psychedelic integration is and has always been a collective journey.

Triumph Over Trauma
Imagine that you had no ill effects from past trauma: no depression, no addiction, no thoughts of suicide. Imagine there are substances that have been used as healing medicines for centuries – substances which have been illegal in the U.S. and around the world for more than 5 decades because of questionable politics of the War on Drugs. Thousands of research studies regarding the potential benefits of psychedelic medicines have now been produced (both from before the ban and from more recent times) – and the results are astounding. Soldiers healed from the traumas of war (PTSD), adults healed from childhood intergenerational traumas from parents and grandparents; abuse survivors relieved...
Modernity and the Construction of Sacred Space
This volume focuses on the connection between modern design and architectural practices and the construction of "sacred spaces." Not only language and ritual but space, place, and architecture play a significant role in constructing "special" or "religious" spaces. However, this concept of a constructed "sacred space" remains undertheorized in religious studies and the history of art and architecture in general. This volume therefore revisits the question of a "modern sacred space" from an interdisciplinary perspective, focusing on religion, space, and architecture during the emergence of the modern period and up until contemporary times. Revisiting the ways in which modern architects and artists have endeavored to create sacred spaces and buildings for the modern world will addresses the underlying questions of how religious ideas--especially those related to esotericism and to alternative religiosities--have transformed the way sacred spaces are conceptualized today.
Gender, Health, and Society in Contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean
Gender, Health, and Society in Contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean takes a multilayered approach to the contemporary peoples of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Latinx peoples in the greater diaspora. Central to this edited collection, and critical to its creative significance and contribution, is the conceptual unification of gendered health, the embodiment of identity, societal structures, and social inequality, and the ways in which gender, health, and society intersect daily. By emphasizing the complex ways in which gender and health intersect in Latin America, the contributors to this collection offer a more detailed look at how gender embodies health inequities in these populations and how societal woes impact and constrain gendered bodies in public spheres.
PlanetSim
Research community on distributed systems, and in particular on peer-to-peer systems, needs tools for evaluatins their own protocols and servces, as well as against other protocols with the same precondictions. Since a TCP/IP experimental evaluation is not always feasible, simulation tools appeared. In this paper we introduce PlanteSim, a discrete event-based simulation framework for overlay networks and services, as well as extensions from third parties that prove its true extensibility and adaptability to the researchers' needs. In addition, we introduce within PlanetSim a novel way of implementing peer-to-peer overlay protocols based on behaviors.
When Plants Dream
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool for transformation, that more and more Westerners are flocking to drink in a quest for greater self-knowledge, healing and reconnection with the natural world. This formerly esoteric, little-known brew is now a growth industry. But why? Ayahuasca is a psychoactive brew that has a long history of ritual use among indigenous groups of the Upper Amazon. Made from the ayahuasca vine and the leaves of a shrub, it is associated with healing in collective ceremonies and in more intimate contexts, generally under the direction of specialist – an ayahuasquero. These are experienced practitioners who guide the ceremony and the drinkers’ experience. Ayahuasca has gained...
