In September 2026 the «World» Ayahuasca «Forum» will take place in Girona but when one sees the invited speakers one realizes that they have left out very important people in the expansion, consolidation and defense of ayahuasca. For example, they have not invited me as a speaker as I am co-founder and director in Europe of Escuela FloreSiendo, the largest or one of the largest organizations of retreats for psychotherapeutic-spiritual use of ayahuasca in the world and I have been dedicating my life to bring ayahuasca to the whole world for 12 years. Nor have they invited the lawyer with more cases won in Spain about ayahuasca and thanks in large part to his work is that we can have the current legal tranquility. Nor is Victor Queta, grandson of Taita Querubín and current governor of the Cofanes in Jardines de Sucumbios, or Marcos Quinteiro, inspector of the National Police of Spain, who is the only member of the corps to defend it publicly backed by a deep academic field work. Therefore, from this excluding and biased attitude I do not consider that there can be a constructive dialogue if it is not from the same level and not putting veteran activists like us in the audience. I also know dozens of facilitators who should have a voice there but were not invited. Two years ago in full persecution of ayahuasca in Spain Jerónimo Mazarrasa, creator of the security course of Iceers sent me a message saying «the fault that they are going to ban ayahuasca in Spain is of you facilitators» and that hatred of «the facilitators» is what moves them to try to exclude us, in fact if you go on the website of the congress the word «facilitator» does not appear even once, but this way they only get us to unite more among us and not allow any organization or tribe to try to monopolize and appropriate the destiny and course of ayahuasca which is the heritage of humanity because «the facilitators» do not consider us legitimate to give ayahuasca and that is why they have created their security course that according to their instagram publications is the «only one» that can «redirect» to the fold of the facilitators but looking at them from above. Only from dialectics will medicine expand and never ever from extremist and traditionalist positions. Whether I am invited or not I will raise my voice anyway because I do not submit to anyone's judgment and I invite you who read me and know that you should be there as a speaker, I invite you to take your place, the one that corresponds to you by right for your great work and do not allow them to impose their narrative on something that corresponds to all of us to co-create.
WHY HAVE THE FACILITATORS BEEN EXCLUDED AS SPEAKERS AT THE WORLD AYAHUASCA CONGRESS OF ICEERS AND ALSO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS FOR AYAHUASCA? IS IT AN INCLUSIVE OR UNILATERAL CONGRESS?
