Empathy, Trauma, and Resilience in Haiti
Haitians are some of the most resilient people in the world -- and collective trauma is a persistent, devastating element of Haitian life. Thanks to the Jones Day Foundation, The Jung Center of Houston partnered with the University of Notre Dame of Haiti and CESSA (the Center for Mental Health and Spirituality of Port-au-Prince) to sponsor the Eighth Annual International Symposium of CESSA, June 15-16, 2018, in Port-au-Prince. More than 350 Haitians learned essential techniques for developing empathy and relieving the effects of trauma, with presentations by 23 experts from Haiti, the United States, France, Canada, and Australia.

ESPD50: Jerry Patchen - Reflections on the Peyote road with the NAC - Visions & Cosmology
Jerry D. Patchen, Houston, Texas Attorney brings four decades of experience and wisdom to the court room as a trial lawyer having litigated civil and criminal cases in 25 states and various foreign jurisdictions.
Jerry’s work includes 40 years of pro bono representation of the Native American Church (NAC) on behalf American Indians to secure and protect their rights to religious freedom. Serving as an Officer in the NAC, he represented individuals charged in various states with possession of Peyote, winning every case. He also represented the Peyote dealers in Texas, who are licensed by the Texas DPS and DEA to dispense Peyote to Indians. Throughout his representation of the NAC Jerry, his wife, Linda, and their three children participated in Peyote meetings with Native American elders for decades.
The US Supreme Court in the case of Oregon vs. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990) ruled that police power was paramount to religious freedom rights. The Smith case overruled a 30 year precedent that required the States and Federal Government to balance the right of the free exercise of religion against police power while giving great weight to religious freedom and using the least restrictive means. A dark cloud hung over the continued religious use of Peyote. Jerry created the strategy of requesting the US Congress to enact the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), 42 USC § 2000bb, and to amend the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA), 42 USC § 1996 to ensure continued religious use of Peyote by the NAC. Working with Senator Inouye, Jerry provided vital support from Texas DPS and the Texas Attorney General’s Office that overcame the concern of various Senators that the use of Peyote could not be effectively regulated. For his efforts, on behalf of Native American Indians, Jerry was awarded the distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award by the State Bar of Texas.
Beginning in 1999, he was on the legal team representing the União do Vegetal (UDV), which successfully secured the right of the UDV to use their sacrament, Ayahuasca, in the US based on RFRA combined with the impact of AIRFA, Gonzales v. Uniao do Vegetal, 546 US 418 (2006). The Santo Daime in the case of Church of the Holy Light of the Queen v. Mukasey, CV 08-3095-PA (2009), used the UDV case as a precedent to obtain a favorable ruling from an Oregon US District Court.
Jerry was formerly counsel and a founding Director of the Heffter Research Institute which is dedicated to promote high quality research of the mind and the effect of mind altering plants such as Peyote and Ayahuasca, and also synthetic compounds. Jerry, with Linda's presence and guidance, serves on the Board of Integral Transformative Practice International (ITPI), the Wasiwaska Advisory Board and they are active supporter of Esalen and the Houston Jung Center.
Reflections on the Peyote Road with the NAC – Visions & Cosmology
The use of Peyote is likely the oldest religion on the North American continent. Its ancient roots are lost in time. The Witte Museum of San Antonio, Texas possesses two Peyote specimens radiocarbon dated 4,000 B.C.E. which were discovered in hunter-gatherer context in the Shumla cave near the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers. The Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century chronicled Indians using Peyote for divine revelation. Spanish Priests issued an edict in 1620 forbidding Peyote which was “pagan” and opposed “to the purity and integrity of our holy Catholic faith”; therefore, Peyote was the first psychoactive substance prohibited by law in the Americas. The courageous struggle of the Native American Church (“NAC”), to use their sacrament Peyote in the 50 years since the original ESPD, has been the trailblazing breakthrough in the United States to secure legal rights to use psychoactive controlled substances.
Although, the writer was integrally involved in securing the legal status of Peyote, the focus of this paper is not law. While representing the NAC as an attorney, the writer served as an officer in the NAC and participated in Peyote Meetings with the grandsons of the fabled horse riding warriors of the Great Plains, who were conquered, removed from Indian country and restricted to reservations in Oklahoma, where they established the NAC in 1918. Surprising original correspondence and photographs with Indian elders and psychedelic visionaries such as Humphry Osmond are displayed. Visions of the divine life force, apparitions of deceased, radiating beams transmitting the wisdom of the process of life, time warps and other supernormal phenomena fostered by Peyote in the NAC are explored. The NAC cosmology of our unity with Nature, and communicating with the Spirit of birds, animals, plants and all life is explained, including inviolate commitments with tobacco and practices regarding the sacred use of water. Interestingly, Indians’ focus is on experiencing rather than the seeming compulsive questioning and rational investigation of the Western mind.

Brazilian Butt Lift Houston - Gluteoplasty
Not only does Brazilian Butt Lift make your behind look plumper, but it also reduces fat in other parts of your body. That is perhaps the biggest advantage of this procedure over other types of buttock augmentation.
Brazilian Butt Lift Houston - Gluteoplasty
Most women struggle with fat in unwanted areas of the body like the hips, back, and waist. In a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, doctors remove these excess fat deposits from one or several areas of your body through liposuction and transfer it to your buttocks.
Brazilian Butt Lift Houston - Gluteoplasty
It is like taking away fat from an area where you do not want it and placing it right where you want it. The result is an increase in buttock volume and a decrease in waistline size—the hourglass figure that many women dream of.
Brazilian Butt Lift Houston - Gluteoplasty
Compared to doing squats and lunges, the Brazilian Butt Lift produces visible results immediately after the procedure. It will still take you a full month to recover, but the results are long-lasting. After all, the fat remains in your buttocks for the rest of your life.
Brazilian Butt Lift Houston - Gluteoplasty
However, you still have to make sure that you follow it up with a healthy lifestyle. Like the rest of your body tissues, this fat will grow and age with you. Hence, diet and exercise can help your butt maintain its size and shape.
**************************
If you want to learn more about the Brazilian Butt Lift, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can schedule an appointment to discuss your individual needs.
