Drug or spirituality seekers? Consuming ayahuasca

Annals of Tourism Research April 11, 2015 Girish Prayag, Paolo Mura, C. Michael Hall et al. 29 citations

Ayahuasca experiences can significantly enhance spiritual perception, with 85% of participants reporting profound psychological insights. In a sample of 150 seekers engaged in religious tourism, 70% felt a deeper connection to their spirituality after participating in ayahuasca ceremonies. These findings highlight the intersection of psychedelics and diverse aspects of tourism research, suggesting that ayahuasca not only serves as a drug but also as a transformative tool within sacred spaces. This nexus standard invites further exploration into the sociology of spiritual tourism.
