Conference profile
What the World Ayahuasca Forum brings together
The World Ayahuasca Forum is the leading international gathering focused on ayahuasca — its living traditions, science, legal status, and future. It brings together Indigenous Amazonian leaders, researchers, legal experts, harm reduction practitioners, policymakers, and the global ayahuasca community.
ESP follows and helps share this work because ayahuasca stewardship is inseparable from Indigenous leadership, rainforest protection, reciprocity, and the conservation of the plant guides and communities that carry these traditions.
Indigenous-led framing
The forum centers Indigenous stewards and Amazonian communities while inviting researchers, practitioners, and policymakers into accountable dialogue.
Conservation and reciprocity
Key conversations include ayahuasca species conservation, legal frameworks, benefit-sharing, ethical research, tourism impacts, and Indigenous sovereignty.
ESP role
Building the bridge back to Indigenous leadership
ESP is using our platform to amplify the Indigenous-led conservation work that WAF advances and to help restore Indigenous voices to the circles where the future of sacred plant and animal guides is being decided.
