Hi there,

As you've probably noticed, the humble magic mushroom has been making pretty big headlines these days. After all, psilocybin-assisted therapy is proving one of the most promising future treatments for anxiety, depression, and addiction. But how does it work? What are the challenges? And what cultural changes are we in for if psychedelics go mainstream?

We're thrilled to be exploring all this and more with an all-star line-up of some of the most celebrated psychedelic researchers, therapists, and advocates in the field at our first Psilocybin Symposium in London on October 15.

Whether you're a shroom lover or still trying to figure out how to pronounce 'psilocybin' (sy-loh-sy-bin) we invite you to join us for an extended evening of live music, talks, and discussion about the potential of these remarkable mushrooms to transform both the self and society.

Psychedelic Science & Mental Health

Join us this October for a one-of-a-kind (in-person!) experience as we explore the enticing world of psilocybin mushrooms. Integration of psychedelic revelations is a crucial part of the transformation process and also one of the most challenging. If you're a Psychedelic Society member, you can join our integration circle to share your experiences and learn from others.

Psychedelic Culture & History

Did you know psychedelics play a huge role in many African creation myths? Learn about the ancient roots of sacred plants in Africa and the future of psychedelic liberation. Or explore ways to tell your own story in poet Dan Simpson's ever-popular 'Writing the Journey' course.

Consciousness & Non-Duality

These courses will take your brain down a mind-bending exploration of the biggest questions we can ask about the true nature of reality and consciousness. No psychedelics needed...

Intimacy, Identity & Connection

Autumn is the perfect time to get in touch with your inner wisdom. From the rugged moors of Dartmoor (only three spots left on the Wild Woman retreat!) to your own bedroom, these events and retreats are designed to help you explore and develop the most important relationships in your life- starting with yourself.

Embodied Healing & Wellbeing

Excessive sorrow laughs, excessive joy weeps. William Blake understood the complex synergy between joy and sorrow- and these events promise to dig into both. Get in touch with your emotions and the lessons they bring alongside a group of kindred spirits.

Psychedelic Ecology & Nature Connection

It's mushroom season! In addition to foraging these days, why not try your hand at growing your own? We're excited to be welcoming an in-person workshop in London focused on Lion's Mane cultivation and that one of our most popular courses, Shroomshop, is now available as a full online masterclass with downloadable course materials.

Policy and Social Change

Screens and social media are changing the way our brains work, the length of our attention span, and our general productivity and creativity. Join others in evaluating your screen use and develop strategies for getting what you want out of your relationship to technology.

Harm reduction & psychedelics

We aim to help reduce the risk of injury and trauma for those who are curious or looking to undergo assisted-therapy.
