Psychedelic Speed Dating: London
Back by popular demand, The Psychedelic Society is playing Cupid just in time for Valentine’s Day!
This speed-dating is a night of sweet conversation, friend-making and finding your future lover!
The event is open to anyone and everyone. 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!
ABOUT THE NIGHT
Taking inspiration from the 36 Questions to Intimacy and The School of Life's '100 Questions,' this kind of romantic speed ‘dating’ gives you a menu of profound, intriguing, and spicy questions designed to inspire authenticity and meaningful connection with those around you.
You’ll be guided through playful icebreakers and a series of 10-minute one-on-one conversations with different people throughout the evening, wrapping up with free-flowing socializing.
You’ll leave here with a fresh perspective on connection, some fun stories, and maybe even the beginning of something special.
Amanita infused Cacao
Upon arrival you will receive an amanita infused cacao drink from Agni Las, to stimulate connection and get conversation flowing. Experience the unique, mystical, creative and mood enhancing effects of the famous mushroom Amanita Muscaria. You will also experience the beautiful benefits of ceremonial cacoa, famous for its heart-opening and spiritual effect on the mind, body and soul.

THE AMANITA QUEEN: Agnieszka Laskus

Agnieszka is an award-winning artist and an accredited Energy Healer. She has 20 years of experience as a facilitator, having spent her early career as a teacher, consultant and a director leading teams in the educational sector. She has worked both with young people and adults.
Since her early teens she has been drawn to sacred sites and over the years she has undertaken many pilgrimages to ancient lands of historic and ceremonial importance. Some of her most significant initiations and grid work happened at Palenque Mayan ruins, land of the Cathars, Medjugorje, Bosnian Pyramids, Mount Shasta, Avalon and ancient Albion.
In 2017 she discovered Amanita Muscaria and the following year was called to work with Sacred Waters. This made her transition from her line of work to embrace the world of Arts, Healing and Ceremony which is at the heart of her current work. She makes medicinal remedies and holds ceremonies to share the wisdom of the elements and the ancient medicine.
She has recently graduated from Mycotherapy Studies and is in the process of Nutrition Advisory training to finalise her accreditation in the field.
