The Science of Psychedelics with Dr David Luke

What Seed Talks are saying about their upcoming event:

The traditional use of psychoactive plants and fungi for spiritual and shamanic rituals has occurred for thousands of years, whereas the Western scientific research of these substances has only been explored in the last 100 years, and prohibition stalled the last 50 years of this.

In this talk you will be introduced to the science of these traditional psychedelics along with their modern counterparts first synthesized in the 20th century.

Now that scientific research is resuming, what do psychedelics tell us about the weirder side of human consciousness, and what can be learned from the traditional shamanic practices with these substances? Find this out and more in this enlightening talk…

What The Loop say about their monthly drug-checking service:

The Loop's regular drug checking service, the first in the UK, takes place every last Saturday of the month in Bristol. The Loop team, chemists and healthcare staff, complete drug testing in our mobile laboratory and provide harm reduction advice and consultations informed by the testing of submitted substances. Everyone is welcome to use the service and to drop-in to meet and speak with The Loop.

Members of the public can submit a substance for testing at Bristol Drug Project in Brunswick Square (look for the pink door). This is an anonymous service and no name needs to be provided. A brief assessment, related to the use of the submitted drug will be completed, and this informs the information that can be shared following the laboratory testing. This all takes place within an hour of submitting the substance, and there is an opportunity to speak openly and receive non-judgmental and factual information regarding drugs and harm reduction advice with a member of The Loop's healthcare team. Where there is a dependency on the submitted substance we are able to support people in engaging and receiving further services, accessing support and treatment.

What the organisers are saying about their upcoming event:

Embark on a fascinating two-part journey into the hidden world of fungi with renowned biologist, writer and speaker Merlin Sheldrake.

The first half of this event will feature a rare screening of the award-winning IMAX film Fungi: The Web of Life. Narrated by the iconic composer and singer Björk, this visually stunning film takes you on an exploration of fungi's profound impact on our world.

Following the film, Merlin will guide us deeper into the incredible connections and revelations revealed in the movie. Drawing on his extensive research and his award-winning book Entangled Life, he will share insights into how fungi shape our understanding of ecology and are essential to life itself. From the decomposition of organic matter and the formation of symbiotic relationships with plants, to how they can change our minds, heal our bodies and even help us avoid environmental disaster. 

With the chance to ask Merlin your own questions, prepare to have your perception of life on Earth transformed as light is shed on the intricate, often overlooked world of fungi.

What the organisers say about their integration circles:

This is a safe, private space to discuss and share on the topic of psychedelics. Confidentiality is protected, it's a quiet venue and a private room. You don't need to speak if you're not comfortable, being there is enough.

Everyone is welcome whether they have experience of psychedelics, or are just at the investigation stage.  We have a different theme each month to keep it interesting. Sometimes its a social evening but with the focus still on psychedelics and I line up some supportive and gentle activities to get to know each other in pairs and small groups. Other times we focus on integration techniques.
