Announcing a New Ayahuasca Research Study Partnership

We are happy to announce a new, interinstitutional research study at Soltara Healing Center headed by scientists from Central Michigan University, Johns Hopkins University, The Ohio State University, and University of Georgia. Led by principal investigators and experimental psychologists Drs. Christopher Davoli and Emily Bloesch, as well as experimental psychology doctoral candidate, Jacob Aday, the study will be investigating the potential psychological benefits of Ayahuasca usage.

Specifically, the group will measure potential changes in gratitude, aesthetic experience, and connections with nature. They will also look to identify what specific aspects of the Ayahuasca experience underly these changes.

We are pleased to support this multidimensional study to contribute to supporting psychedelic and plant medicine research, and helping to be a bridge between traditional healthcare systems, modern psychotherapeutic practices, and psychedelic science.
