Hi there,
At a time when people across the world are rising up against racism, we send our love and support to all the People of Colour in our community and to everyone that is taking action for racial justice.
The Psychedelic Society exists to create a culture of connection and to facilitate experiences that help to heal disconnection in self and society. We are passionate about supporting BAME communities and creating spaces that are welcoming to all.
In light of recent events, we want to share and celebrate the knowledge, wisdom and power of some of the brilliant black facilitators in our community.
In this recording of her talk, Camille Barton explores how plant medicines may be used as a tool to explore the complex, collective, intergenerational trauma of racism.
