Biography
Jerónimo Mazarrasa is an ayahuasca community activist. He works as Social Innovation Coordinator for ICEERS, and is a founding member of the Plantaforma (Platform for the Defense of Ayahuasca in Spain). Over the past 5 years he has devoted most of his energy to engaged research and innovation exploring how ceremonial plant practices can be integrated outside of their cultures of origin. Ten years ago he wrote and produced four documentaries on various aspects of the encounters between the West and indigenous knowledge, from ayahuasca in the treatment of drug addiction, to the Kogi Mamos, to the Brazilian ayahuasca religions.
He has traveled extensively through South America, researching a broad range of ayahuasca practices and has lectured internationally about ayahuasca tourism and the appropriation of indigenous knowledge. He keeps a very active Facebook account and has called Ibiza home for the last ten years.
