The Psychedelic Debates, an in-person gathering to discuss the most pressing, perplexing, and powerful ideas shaping the psychedelic emergence.
Strange, otherworldly, life-changing: it can be hard to make sense of psychedelics.
Yet for many of us, there’s very little space to actually talk about them - leaving us little choice but to undertake the psychedelic journey alone.
That’s why we’re starting this monthly discussion and debate event to navigate the core questions, perceptions, and mysteries of this journey with a new topic each month.
Up for debate: "Everyone should take psychedelics at least once."
Psychedelics are changing people’s lives. They’ve even healed what was beyond the powers of traditional science. But should everyone really take them, at least once?
We can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Whether you’re an experienced psychonaut or new to the space, join us to voice your thoughts, hear each other’s perspectives, and explore new ideas together.
While the debate will be structured, you don’t need to be a polished speaker or a master of rhetoric - we’re cultivating a space for meaningful discussion and new connections between curious minds.
We will begin the evening with a connection exercise before breaking into two groups - one on each ‘side’ of the debate - to formulate our thoughts before moving on to debate and sharing.
Location & getting there
We will be meeting in the upstairs function room at the beautiful Island Queen pub in N1, London. They also offer a great menu so please feel free to order food or drinks at the bar downstairs when you arrive and bring it up with you.
