Psychologist and researcher Clancy Cavnar will present a talk about her groundbreaking research at the 2014 Women’s Visionary Congress (May 30th-June 1st) entitled: the Effects of Ayahuasca Rituals on Gay’s and Lesbian’s Self Perception.



The practice of drinking ayahuasca has been shown in studies to have a particularly strong positive effect on perceptions of identity. Cavnar’s research sought to discover if these findings would also be seen in gay and lesbian people, who are often taught that their lifestyles, values and sexual orientation are unacceptable. The results of Cavnar’s qualitative study indicate that all participants reported positive effects on their lives from ayahuasca rituals, including affirmation of their sexual orientation, and no participants reported negative effects on perception of identity.
