Discover the science behind psychedelics and the wisdom of the ancients in their power of healing the body and mind.About this Event
For thousands of years, humans have lived with traditions and rituals around the use of psychedelics and entheogenic plant medicine. These cultures used them for healing, guidance, and spiritual connection. Now, we are once again in a psychedelic renaissance. With the lift on the ban of studying psychedelics and the relaxation of the “war on drugs,” modern science is trying to discover the power of psychedelics again for healing and understanding their effects on the body and mind.
Join Dr Darragh Stewart to learn more about the psychedelic research which is showing promising results for their use in fighting the modern malaise of the Western mind, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Yet, when taken, some of the real power and transformational aspects of working with these tools lie in connection to the mystery and beyond. Join us for a journey through the ancient wisdom of psychedelics as science tries to grapple with the profound mystery of these medicines. Followed by Q&A.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
