On March 14, 2023, Biohackers Toronto welcomed Owen and Yesim James of Santo Daime to speak to us about ayahuasca. Members enjoyed learning more about what ayahuasca ceremonies have to offer.
About Santo Daime
Santo Daime’s sacrament, known as Santo Daime or Daime, has been used for millennia in South American indigenous cultures. Historically the tea has had many names including: Uni, Hoasca, Ayahuasca, Yage, and Caapi. It is one of the traditional sacred medicines of South American Shamans. In many regions it is still used traditionally as a medicine, for discerning and treating various ailments, as well as for its vision-inducing effects which are said to be profound and life-changing. The Daime can induce a strong emetic effect which is regarded as a purging of emotional, karmic, spiritual, or physical impurities.
Céu de Toronto is a single Sacrament Church which means that only this Sacrament is served during the works. Other Sacraments are not provided by Céu de Toronto in any capacity during the works.
A respect of all peoples and beliefs that do not infringe the rights, health, & safety of others, is visible throughout our community.
