As the days stretch longer and the sun (hopefully!) starts to grace us with its warmth, we're embracing the shift into summer with one of our favourite community gatherings – an evening of connection, psychedelic storytelling, and fireside jams under the stars.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Slow down , Connection and Music: leaving the chaos of London behind and step into this enchanted space to slow down and connect with like-minded people. We'll set the tone for the evening with someone playing hand pan — creating a soothing, ambient soundscape to help you fully arrive and unwind. Bring your instruments too!

Psychedelics Storytelling under the stars: there will be the opportunity for all of us to share our psychedelic stories - the weird, the tricky and the downright wonderful. This part of the evening will be open-mic style and we will have a sign-up sheet to add your name to the list of storytellers. Your stories should be no more than 5 minutes and there's no need to rehearse what to say or come particularly prepared - often the best stories are told off-the-cuff and from the heart!

A Beautiful Psychedelic Community: Get access to our wonderful community coalescing around all things fungi. Many people at our socials have become life-long friends. Most of our members come alone, this is a safe and welcoming space for everyone, no matter your age, sexuality, background, gender, ethnicity or nationality. Fungi  know no boundaries, which is the ethos we bring to our socials. 

Food and drinks: we'll be providing light snacks but please feel free to bring your dinner or something to share with the community, as well as dish, cutleries and a mug for some warm tea. 

VENUE

Join us at 6.30pm on Thursday 22nd May at a secret outdoor location close to Greenwich (details will be shared via email).

Flying solo? The majority of people arrive at our Monthly PsySocial events alone! It's a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people and members of our community. We leave plenty of time after the talks for conversations and connections.

Handpan from Petra 

Petra / Elfeira is a life enthusiast, an inquisitive wanderer who is happiest when immersed in art, sound, nature, or exploring the complexity of the mind.

Her music is rooted in curiosity and connection, often centered around the handpan - an ethereal, resonant instrument that allows her to translate emotion into rhythm and tone. Through meditative melodies and organic soundscapes, she aims to create experiences that invite stillness, introspection, and a deeper sense of presence.
