About this Event
This conference will bring together a wide range of scholars and practitioners to discuss complex relationships between psychedelics and religion. We are now in the midst of what has been called a "Psychedelic Renaissance," which has raised many questions about the relationship between traditional uses of psychedelics (peyote, ayahuasca and psilocybin mushrooms) and modern scientific and medical research. Presenters will include indigenous artists and practitioners, psychiatrists, scientists and scholars in the fields of religion, anthropology and art history.
The keynote address will feature Luis Eduardo Luna, anthropologist and ayahuasca researcher at the Wasiwaska Rsearch Center. He will present “Indigenous Spirituality in a Time of a Much-Needed Paradigm Shift" Friday, March 27 at 4 pm.
The conference will also include an exhibition of Mazatec art and a Rapeh ceremony.
The art exhibition will be at Global Gallery Coffee Shop, 3535 N. High Street, Columbus, OH 43214. On view from March 1 through March 29, the opening reception after the conference concludes on Friday (March 27) at 6 pm. A food truck will be present. Street parking is available on the side streets adjacent to the coffee shop.
All events are free and open to the public. RSVPs are requested: request a ticket here to RSVP.
