Ikaros - Tribute to Rosa Giove
On March 7, 2022, one year ago, Rosa left for other horizons, free as a bird. Since then, many people have perceived her presence in dreams or during daytime, especially in moments of healing.
As a memory and tribute, we propose a production of ikaros by Dr. Rosa Giove recorded during an Ayahuasca ceremony held in Takiwasi in 2020. This new production includes, in an extraordinary way, Rosa's last ikaro. Dr. Jacques Mabit tells us about the genesis of this last ikaro and how it passed through several of those people with whom this mysterious bond was established.

Antoine Renard, between vegetalista animism and technological naturalism
The young researcher and artist Antoine Renard has just produced an exhibition in Paris, Psychobotania, from October 18, 2022 to February 12, 2023. His work falls between plant animism and technological naturalism and has been fueled by two stays in Takiwasi, the third being in progress. Marie-Laure Desjardins, co-director of the aesthetics magazine, interviews Antoine Renard on the occasion of the presentation of Psychobotania: a video, sound and olfactory installation specially designed for the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris. This artistic proposal has developed in the continuity of the research that the artist has carried out in the Peruvian Amazon, on the way in which plants and their perfumes, through their ritualized shamanic uses, exert an influence on the social organization and identity construction of local populations. This interview looks back on the artist's career, his plastic, spiritual and now academic research, motivating his olfactory plastic creations.

Takiwasi Center Online Courses
We want to invite you to enroll in our online courses:
- Introducción al modelo terapéutico Takiwasi:
11 pre-registered classes taught in Spanish by the therapeutic team of the Takiwasi Center. Topics such as Traditional Amazonian Medicine are addressed, including the presentation of specific techniques such as plant baths and purges, and the application of Western psychological approaches in the treatment of addictions, such as existential psychotherapies and the analysis of trans-generational inheritances.
-
Coherencias entre la iniciación cristiana y la iniciación amazónica: taught in Spanish by Dr. Jacques Mabit, course based on 5 pre-registered videos. The experience of the Takiwasi Center shows us that there are numerous and surprising points of coherence and convergence between the Christian faith and Amazonian shamanism (when correctly understood and practiced). This course attempts to highlight the relevance of bringing these two paths of knowledge closer together and articulating them appropriately in favor of opening new paths for the healing of the body, mind and spirit.
