In ten years, knowledge about initiation and altered states of consciousness has evolved, as have the practices. Jan Kounen, Jeremy Narby, and Vincent Ravalec discuss the benefits and the risks of these developments in the West – in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere and with respect for their unique respective approaches.
Jan Kounen is a filmmaker who has created a number of movies and documen- taries, including 99 Francs, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, and the celebrated Renegade. His interest in Shipibo culture and shamanism developed during his trips to Peru to shoot music videos, leading to his apprenticeship with an ayahuasca shaman. He lives in France.
