PsySoc Social Bristol

An evening of curious tales, deep chats, and meeting like-minded psychedelic humans.

Tired of small talk? So are we.
Come drop the mask and dive into something a little more real.

Join us for a night of Psychedelic Speed-Friending, where we’ll gently guide you through playful ice-breakers and juicy conversation prompts designed to help you meet new people in meaningful ways. Think slow, soul-nourishing conversations rather than frantic networking. Expect short but impactful heart-to-hearts in pairs.

We'll then share a potluck dinner together. Bring along a dish or snacks to share with the group.

To close the evening, we'll do some Psychedelic Storytelling, a beloved open mic session where you can take the stage and share your psychedelic happenings. This could be anything you feel called to share: A trip report, a spiritual experience, a weird dream, a moment of profound realization. There’s no need to be polished or profound, just honest. Stories are 5 minutes max, and you can sign up on the night.

OUR TEAM

Mez Olivia

Mez works at the intersection of community, wellbeing, and alternative approaches to healing. They are a somatic practitioner, weaving together movement, touch, and sound to create grounded, supportive spaces for exploration and integration.

Their work is shaped by a deep interest in consciousness, nature-based living, and trauma-informed care, with a particular focus on supporting people through grief, addiction, and life transitions. Alongside their practice, Mez also hosts a podcast exploring healing, connection, and the human experience.

Outside of their work, they can usually be found with plants, in nature, or immersed in movement and sound.
