OIOC’s Reciprocity Efforts

Why Reciprocity Matters in Ayahuasca Work
A Shared Responsibility
-
Modern psychedelic research owes its foundation to the Indigenous communities who have safeguarded plant medicine traditions. True progress demands equitable partnerships that respect and uplift these communities.
-
By supporting the Kamëntsá, we preserve their cultural heritage and enhance the collective understanding of holistic healing.
The Challenges We Address |
OIOC Amazon Conservation
At OIOC, we recognize that Indigenous communities — the original stewards of the Amazon — face profound and interconnected challenges:
Loss of Land and Culture
-
Sacred territories and biodiversity disrupted by colonization and deforestation
-
OIOC restores native lands, protects sacred plants, and revitalizes ancestral knowledge
Exploitation of Indigenous Knowledge
-
Sacred plant wisdom isolated and commercialized in modern research
-
OIOC safeguards cultural integrity through Indigenous-led education and ceremonial preservation
Poverty and Marginalization
-
Indigenous communities are excluded from financial and social benefits of their own knowledge
-
OIOC provides home rebuilding, basic needs support, artisan empowerment, and funds community resilience through healing retreats
