On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast Dr. Hoye is joined by Dr. Jeremy Narby, PhD. Dr. Narby is a Canadian anthropologist and author. In his books, Narby examines shamanism and molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. He grew up in Canada and Switzerland, studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury, and received his doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University. He works as Amazonian projects director for the Swiss NGO Nouvelle Planète.He is the author of several books, including “The cosmic serpent: DNA and the origins of knowledge” (New York: Penguin/Tarcher, 1998).
Dr. Narby discusses his book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the pursuit of Knowledge, which he coauthored with Rafael Chanchari Pizuri, an elder of the indigenous Shawi people of Peru. Dr. Narby goes into great detail about the cultural aspects of plant medicines in indigenous cultures. In particular, the South American, Shamanic uses of both tobacco and ayahuasca. Tobacco as it has been adulterer by European-based framing and industrial practices is nothing like the plant as used in South American, indigenous healing and spiritual practices. Overall, Dr. Narby advocates and hopes for a blending of Western approaches to science and medicine with that of the wisdom traditions of indigenous elders.
