ERIE presents: Entheogenic Integration and Individuation
Wednesday, October 29, 6:15 PM
CIIS Main Building, Namaste Hall (3rd Floor), 1453 Mission St., San Francisco, CA, 94103 , San Francisco [http://www.meetup.com/erievision/events/193936292/]
Justin Hartery, MFTI, graduate from the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Somatic Psychology program, will speak on how to "Integrate your peak experience". Have you ever returned from a peak experience and struggled to live from that vibrant, magical place within yourself that you now know to exist? It is very common to experience a sense of disillusionment, come-down, and compartmentalization from these expansive states as one returns to the more “ordinary” conventions of reality. Rather than return to complacency and wait for the next journey to provide you with a temporary sense of fulfillment through yet another "life-changing" experience, learn how to bring your dreams to life by growing an embodied relationship with your essential self.
Larry Norris and Julie Megler will talk about "Self-Discovery, Relationship, and Community Through Entheogenic Integration". Julie D. Megler is a board certified nurse practitioner in psychiatry and family medicine, has presented at the Psychedelic Science conference and The Women’s Visionary Congress on the topics of psychedelic drug harm reduction, and has developed potential therapeutic applications of ayahuasca for posttraumatic stress disorder. Larry Norris is the founder and executive director of ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education), a group dedicated to the development of entheogenic research and integration models (www.erievision.org). ERIE brings diverse entheogenic speakers, practitioners, and researchers to share their wisdom with the San Francisco/Bay Area community.

Book Launching: Ayahuasca Shamanism in the Amazon and Beyond
Thursday, October 16, at 6:30 PM
at the CIIS Main Building, Namaste Hall, 1453 Mission St., San Francisco, CA, 94103 , San Francisco, CA
[http://www.meetup.com/erievision/events/212866632/]

Please join us for the book launch of Ayahuasca Shamanism in the Amazon and Beyond with editors Beatriz Labate and Clancy Cavnar and moderator Jorge N. Ferrer, PhD of the California Institute of Integral Studies.
There will be an exhibition of Clancy Cavnar's art and an exhibition of the book content by Beatriz Labate, followed by a collective debate mediated by Jorge Ferrer.
This book discusses how Amerindian epistemology and ontology related to certain indigenous shamanic rituals of the Amazon spread to Western societies, and how indigenous, mestizo, and cosmopolitan cultures have dialogued with, and transformed, these forest traditions. The collection also focuses on how shamanic rituals have been spreading and developing in post-traditional urban contexts throughout the world. Special attention is given to ayahuasca, a psychoactive drink usually composed of two plants: the vine Banisteriopsis caapi and leaves of the Psychotria viridis bush. Ayahuasca use has extended beyond its Amazonian origin and instigated a variety of legal and cultural responses in the countries it has spread to.

Poetry Reading...ELMAZ ABINADER presents her new book
THIS HOUSE, MY BONES
Friday, October 3, 7pm
At Revolution Books, 2425 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94704
In poems of grace and a searing fire, Elmaz Abinader negotiates love, yearning, hope, memory, resistance, injustice and death and weaves an uneasy but authentic hope that illuminates the path to a true redemption. A stunning collection. - Chris Abani
THIS HOUSE, MY BONES is a gorgeously scripted chronicle that probes the collective heart and the countries we inhabit when we dare to speak outloud. There's an insistent rhythm in these stanzas, a lyricism of light and lineage stamped with the undeniable signature of a poet at the height of her craft. Savor these poems, and be lifted by their music. --Patricia Smith, Author of Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah, winner of the 2013 Lenore Marshal Poetry Prize.
 Elmaz Abinader is a poet, memoirist, playwright and novelist. Elmaz won the 2000 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Poetry award for the poetry collection, In the Country of My Dreams as well as two Drammies (Oregon's Drama award) for her three-act one-woman show, Country of Origin. Elmaz has been a Fulbright Senior Fellow to Egypt, taught for the Palestine Writing Workshop and a resident at the El Gouna Writing Residency. Elmaz is one of the founders of the Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation, (VONA/Voices), now in its 15th year providing workshops for writers of color.

Something to think about from RealitySandwich.com...
Is Ayahuasca an Alien Intelligence?
Has ayahuasca arrived on Earth with a mission to save the planet? More than a few seasoned shamanic journeyers have come to this conclusion.
Clearly, encounters with the spirit vine deepen your appreciation for the plant kingdom — for all of nature — which is well timed for our era of ecological crisis. And the heart healing that ayahuasca catalyzes strikes many as an ideal antidote to the most damaging aspects of contemporary society. But is there more to it than that? Does ayahuasca have an intention? Do other plant spirit teachers, such as mushrooms, peyote, and iboga? Entheogenic veterans frequently report encounters with distinct, other worldly intelligences during their psychedelic excursions. Are these truly independent consciousnesses, separate from the self? Where do they come from? Read more at [DeOxy.org]

"The Jupiter Plan: Anarchy at Amalthea", 
60 chapters and 150,000 words of sci-fi mystery! The author writes: "Yes, another literary triumph from the World's Most Under-Rated Author. Our story begins 400 years into Tomorrowland, when corruption and poor practices in Earth's by then 100-year-old raw-materials program at the moons of Jupiter, are the topic of two-year investigation by two men from the Planetary Program Proficiency agency, leading to a deep dark secret exploding from within the hellish depths of Jupiter herself, and an epic Water Logic War, originating elsewhere in the ancient Galaxy, as Earth takes her first baby-steps to full membership in the Milky Way society of planets and worlds.

Bill Holmes of Humboldt, A Tribute -
From Verbena (from PARC, for human-rights and the houseless, [youcaring.com link]): We miss you, miss you, miss you, Bill. Thanks for being in our lives. I was at this show at Old Town Coffee (video links below). Bill hired my friend, Robert (who was learning video stuff) to film him. SO glad he did that!!
** "Even the Man on the Moon is crying" [Youtube.com link]
** "Glad I'm not dead" [Youtube.com link]
** "Dirty lil' town" [Youtube.com link]
More tributes:
** "Bill Holmes stood for social justice" obituary [Times-Standard.com link] (archive.org)
** "Bill Got out" [radmul.blogspot.com/2014/08/bill-got-out.html]
** "Of Songs and sad songs", from Shalia: Sorrowful day to hear of Bill's passing.  I remember him as being so vibrant with a smile that would bring some sun shine on foggy Eureka benches. My thoughts are with you all- his family and friends, he certainly touched a lot of people, contributed so much to the local culture. His rendition of the Stones' 'waiting on a friend' was the best ever, epic really. I remember him well for it.
** "Local Activist, Blogger and Musician Has Died" [tomsebourn.blogspot.com/2014/09/local-activist-blogger-and-musician-has.html]
** Tribute from Martin Cotton (Sr.): I had the pleasure to have worked, laughed, cryed, and loved the beautiful people in our lives. I will miss our conversations,  Bill Holmes. Love and respect.

Feedback (a poem)

By Indi Riverflow | September 5, 2013

I can’t tell what’s left or right
Which way is up or down
If I’ve hit a dangerous height
Or if we’re grazing near the ground
Can’t see where we’re heading
If it’s back to where I’ve been
Since I’m flyin’ blind
If you’d be so kind
Open a line and fill me in
Please open a line and fill me in

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

Hit the dunes without a guide
Or compass to point the way
The buggy I had hoped to ride
Became a burden to convey
The footing keeps sliding
Buried up to my chin
Since I’m in a bind
If you wouldn’t mind
Toss me a line and bring me in
Won’t you toss me a line and bring me in?

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

While you wait I must bide
Hanging limbo without a stick
On the other side of our steep divide
And the trail’s getting slick
If I had my way it’d be yesterday
Cause this doubt is wearing thin
But I’d settle for a sign
Just few feet of vine
Or a scrap of twine to tie me in
Yeah, a scrap of twine to tie me in

Static from this feedback loop
Sounds exactly like your voice
I keep asking myself
What are the chances of a choice?

Drifting now and falling free
Frozen with all this liberty
Are we in space or are we at sea?
Sailing under veils of uncertainty
Wavering grip keeps slipping
Gravity wants to win
It’s quite a grind
So if you find the time
Shoot me a line and clue me in
Now won’t you shoot me a line and clue me in?

From Oakland, California, Rara Tou Limen Dance Company has an objective to help nurture and grow Haitian dance and musical traditions in the Bay Area. Accompanied by dancers, vocalists and celebrated musicians, the company brings to the stage a wide spectrum of diverse Haitian dance forms, from vibrant rituals of Vodou, the turbulent legacy of political struggle, to the celebratory and festive dances of Carnival, Rara Tou Limen is at the cutting edge of the evolution of Haitian dance and music in the Bay Area. The use of traditional rhythms, chants and movement integrates the grace, strength, fluidity and precision of Haitian folkloric dance.
From Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Project Hope Art gives a voice to those survivors of the Haitian tent Camps. Project HOPE Art uses art as a vehicle to inspire, to educate and to create intentional whimsy. We work with children in hospitals, orphanages, schools and communities in disaster stricken areas, utilizing art to help establish self esteem, self expression, self respect and stress relief for our students. We create art for art’s sake, while educating through our art, science, nutrition and literacy programs. We twirl in tutus and face paint because it’s good for the soul. Since our inception in January 2010 we have made multiple trips to Haiti and have recently launched a Visiting Artist Program, creating a sustainable way for artists in any medium to share their creativity with our kids and project partners as we strive towards our mission to inspire, heal and improve the quality of life for children in need.
