Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story - Revisited with Darren Le Baron

What The Psychedelic Society are saying about their event:

After spending three months in Southern Africa among the San Bushmen, Zulu, and Himba communities, Darren returns to share insights by revisiting his popular series "Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story."

This series takes a closer look at the ancient history, mythology, and scientific studies surrounding psychoactive compounds found in Africa. For millennia, these powerful plants and fungi have been used by Africa's earliest indigenous peoples for spiritual and community growth—a practice that remains largely overlooked by modern scholars.

This presentation encompasses both African and Diasporic cultures, offering valuable information through academic references, highlighting correlations in symbolism and references in language which reveal thought-provoking insights.

Psychedelics & Existential Crises - Navigating Psychedelic Aftershock

What the Psychedelic Society are saying about their upcoming event:

Psychedelics can offer profound, mind-opening experiences, but they can also shake our foundational ground, our sense of reality and sense of self, to its core. In a recent study we explored the experiences of 26 people who faced deep existential distress after a psychedelic journey—confusion about the meaning of life, identity, and their place in the world. These experiences affected their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and their physical well-being.

Join us for an open conversation about navigating the complexities of psychedelic experiences with care, curiosity, and connection.

Bristol Psychedelic Cinema Club: Dying To Know - Ram Dass & Timothy Leary

What The Psychedelic Society say about their event:

Dying to Know is an intimate portrait celebrating two very complex, controversial characters in an epic friendship that shaped a generation.

In the early 1960s, Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became the LSD guru, igniting a global counter-cultural movement and landing in prison after Nixon called him 'the most dangerous man in America.' Alpert, on the other hand, journeyed to the East, becoming Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher for an entire generation, teaching service through compassion.

With interviews spanning 50 years, Dying to Know invites us into the future, encouraging us to ponder questions about life, drugs & the biggest mystery of all: death.

We’ll be screening this movie at our upcoming psychedelic cinema club night. In a post-screening discussion, there will be an opportunity to chat about and share perspectives on the film and its key themes.

Join us for his all-brand-new workshop… Come and learn the basics of mushroom cultivation and explore various techniques for growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. This will be a hands-on experience and will cover everything you need to know to get you started. 

Mushrooms have been growing wild since prehistoric times. Their therapeutic value has been prized in indigenous cultures, for thousands of years. In the past few decades, mushrooms have become even more popular for their therapeutic qualities in the West as a result of an expanding body of scientific research supporting their numerous health benefits.

What The Psychedelic Society have to say about their event:

“Psychedelic experience without psychedelics”.

As you lie on a mat on the floor, gongs, singing bowls, other ritual instruments and voice will be used to weave a tapestry of sound. 

The vibrations create a feeling of being 'bathed' or carried away into the space, with participants variously reporting subtle or powerful bodily sensations, a deep meditative state often accompanied by rich imagery and visions, or feeling of timeless nothingness and bliss. During the session the brainwaves are altered to the state that is self-healing, and has balancing benefits on the body and mind. Occasionally some sounds might trigger unpleasant and suppressed emotions that flow up to the surface — please accept them as a part of a healing process. In most cases the overall experience is very relaxing and ecstatic, and participants feel refreshed and recharged for a few days after the session.

What The Psychedelic Society have to say about their event:

Psychedelic Speed-Friending is a night of sweet conversation, open to everyone, where you can drop the small talk and ask the questions you REALLY want to ask. We use the word ‘speed’ in the loosest possible sense. Real connection can't be rushed and neither will we!
