Essential to the practice of this religion is the ritual, sacramental, use of a psychoactive tea called Hoasca (also known as Ayahuasca). Today, the UDV has followers throughout Brazil as well as in the US, Spain, Portugal, England, Switzerland and Australia. In 2005 the United States Supreme Court, in a historic unanimous decision, affirmed the right of the UDV to use its sacrament. This decision was recognized as having \"changed the landscape of the law\" relating to religious liberty in the United States. This book, originally published in Brazil, documents the structure, practices, and community life of this religious society. It will appeal to academics and researchers as well as to those interested in the UDV's relationship with religion, society, ecology and spirituality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marlene Dobkins De Rios,Joaze Bernardino-Costa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0991065816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991065813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cebudv USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d","brand":"Marlene Dobkins De Rios","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443803697407,"sku":"9780991065813","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c1542b6-b6f6-4c9f-bc4c-dc74a82b0289.jpg?v=1777207960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hoasca-the-sacrament-of-the-marlene-dobkins-de-rios-9780991065813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
