With a series of three suitable lectures, we would like to invite you to a complex series of events where we will not talk about Amazonian shamanism in isolation, but in a deeper understanding of its cultural, ethnobotanical, anthropological and psychological dimensions, placing it in a different context. The theme of the first session of the lecture series is : Amazonian shamanism: ritual and medicinal applications of ethnomedicine and its anthropological and ethnobotanical approach

Location

Dürer Kert

Dürer Kert, which moved from the City Park to the vicinity of Kopaszi Dam, is one of the hangouts of Budapest's surviving peripheral subcultures, but it's also worth visiting if you just want a perfect garden spot. That is, starting in spring. Until then, let's keep rockin'! And after that, too.
