SUMMARY:Maria Sabina: Shaman\, Curandera\, and Visionary Poet
DESCRIPTION:In 1957\, Life magazine published a photo essay\, “Seeking the Magic Mushroom\,” featuring Maria Sabina\, a curandera (healer) and shaman living in the Sierra Mazateca in southern Mexico. Sabina was the first to allow foreigners to take part in veladas\, healing vigils when participants eat psilocybin mushrooms. The essay opened Western audiences’ eyes to the use of psychedelics and led\, ultimately\, to the synthesizing of LSD. \nIn this illustrated talk\, poet\, novelist\, and diplomat Homero Aridjis will share his first-hand accounts of meeting Maria Sabina\, whom he sees not only as a cultural icon\, but also as arguably the greatest visionary poet in twentieth-century Latin America. Aridjis’s 2013 novel Carne de Dios\, centers on Sabina’s life in Huautla and her involvement with Westerners who flocked to her home to experience the hallucinogenic effects of the “magic mushrooms”. \nConsidered to be one of Latin America’s greatest living writers\, Aridjis is also widely known for his pioneering work as an environmental activist and his two-term stint as president of PEN International. Aridjis has served as Mexico’s Ambassador to Switzerland\, The Netherlands\, and UNESCO. Many of his fifty books of poetry and prose have been translated into fifteen languages and he has received important literary and environmental prizes in Mexico\, France\, Italy\, the United States and Serbia. Among his books available in English are The Child Poet\, Eyes to See Otherwise\, A Time of Angels\, Maria the Monarch\, and News of the Earth\, a biography of his relationship with the natural world and a wide-ranging selection of his work and writings in defense of the environment. \nFollowing will be a wine reception where you can meet Homero and bring any copies of his books for signing. \nTickets are $20 / $15 for members of Green-Wood and the Morbid Anatomy Patreon. \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n \nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.\n \n\nNot a Member?\nClick here for all of our membership levels and information. \nAlready a Member?\nClick the “Enter promotional code here (members\, use your ID#)” link in the bottom right corner of the ticket box and enter your ID number to apply your ticket discount.
