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.

The Science of Psychedelics with Neuroscientist Maria Balaet

What Seed Talks are saying about their event:

Psychedelic drugs have a tumultuous history. Indigenous communities have used them for healing and visionary experiences for thousands of years. More recently, they were discovered by the Western society and became central to social and artistic movements in the 1960’s… before being banned worldwide.

Now psychedelics are back in the spotlight and entering the mainstream, with clinical trials exploring their therapeutic use for mental health disorders like depression, anxiety and addiction. Groundbreaking science has uncovered that these substances have effects on the brain, affecting connectivity patterns that govern day-to-day functioning.

This talk will cover the key findings coming from contemporary research with psychedelics, and hint at what is next in store for psychedelic science and the potential impact on society at large…
