About this Event

We are currently in a psychedelic renaissance and Magic Mushrooms are one of the key areas of research for scientists around the world. Recent studies have shown that psilocybin, the active ingredient in the plant, can heal depression, enhance connectivity in the brain and even result in an increase in participants' gardening! Join Dr. David Luke as he explains the chemistry, neuroscience and psychology of Magic Mushrooms.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
