- Abstract
In recent times, the urban consumption of yajé in Columbia constitutes an expanding phenomenon that attracts a varied public of middle and upper class in search of therapeutic, spiritual and enlightening alternatives. This phenomenon can be classified in what several investigators have called neoshamanism or modern western shamanism. The present article analyzes how, in various Colombian cities, neoshamanism associated with the use of yajé identifies with discourses and practices related to the cultural industry of the New Era.
