Hi there,

Last week, our Psychedelic Society team met with the sibling organisations of our worker cooperative, Symbiota, in a sunny and idyllic Frome. We gathered to connect, to focus, and to share our dreams for what we're here to offer the world. How wonderful it was to be reminded of the strength of the collective and the immeasurable power of collaboration over competition in today's world.

We're part of this cooperative because each organisation shares a mission of supporting personal and planetary healing through education, experiences, and deep connection. For us, it sparked a deep excitement for the year to come. For more partnerships, a more developed membership programme, and many more transformative events.

We want this to be a space where each of you can grow and discover both individually and collectively and as always, we welcome you to reach out to us with your ideas at events@psychedelicsociety.org.uk. What kind of events would you like to see? In what ways would you like to get involved?

And speaking of connection, thank you so much to those of you who reached out to help us with our suspended social media platforms and to the incredible Karim who was able to successfully restore all of the Psychedelic Society accounts as well as our personal ones. Our colleagues at PsyAware have started an open letter to Meta raising awareness of the importance of protecting the conversation and education on psychedelics on social media. You can sign it here.

In this newsletter, we're highlighting all our upcoming events plus a few deals for you from our community partners!
