Can Psychedelic Drugs Help You Flourish?

Psychedelic drugs hold promise for mental health treatment, showing benefits for treating depression and tackling addiction, as well as improving sexual satisfaction.
Beyond healthcare, psychedelics such as magic mushrooms, LSD and other psychoactive compounds have been linked to enhanced creativity and problem-solving, as well as stimulating insightfulness and self-exploration. Together this is making psychedelic research a field with wide-reaching relevance and fascination.
Learn from researchers at Imperial College London, which has been active in this field for nearly two decades, at this year's Great Exhibition Road Festival. As well as the latest findings from trials exploring psychedelics, hear personal stories of emotional, psychological, and even spiritual experiences from individuals who have gone through research trials into these potential treatments.

This event is part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival on 15-16 June 2024.

Please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access, however, as this is a free event we overbook to help ensure a full event and your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk.
