The psychedelic path is the religious path par excellence. Once you understand this, there is no limit to the spiritual progress you can make in this life.

Come discover a new framework for the use of psychedelics for spiritual enlightenment.  Drawing on Christian metaphysics and Buddhist psychology Sebastian shows how to harness the power of psychoactive plants and the mind to produce lasting positive changes in a safe and reliable way. Sebastian will also explore the deep relationship between the One and the Many and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth between them. 

 If you are interested in the connection between psychedelic experiences and religious experiences, and the under-explored potential of Christian teachings in particular to illuminate both, tune in. This promises to be a fascinating talk, discussion and meditation experience on a hugely under-explored topic.
