If there's one truth that's crystallised over our ten years at The Psychedelic Society, it's this: the real healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in the collective exhale of a breathwork circle. In the spark of recognition when someone shares a piece of their story that mirrors your own. In the joy of bodies moving freely on a dance floor, the warmth of sharing food.
Ten years ago, we started with educating people about psychedelics. But what emerged instead was something far richer – a living, breathing ecosystem where all forms of conscious exploration are welcomed. We've watched people discover their medicine in so many ways.
And we can't wait to celebrate this journey together with the community! For our mini-festival on 30 November, we're bringing together the guides, teachers, and wisdom-keepers who've shaped our community – each sharing their unique piece of the healing puzzle. From earth-based practices to dance, from sound journeys to contemplative arts, every offering is designed to remind us of the many paths to wholeness.
When we dance and laugh together, when the room pulses with collective joy – that's the medicine. That's what these ten years have taught us. Psychedelics might catalyse healing, but it's the community that helps it take root and flower. Join us!

How do we heal uprooted selves and societies amidst unravelling modernity? Deracinated, uprooted, displaced, exiled, lost. These are common underlying experiences of the modern human. We are in turbulent times, both individually and collectively. Our friends at Rooted Healing are offering an extensive, deeply held year-long course to provide you with a map to navigate this initiatory threshold called Deepen Your Roots.
They do beautiful work in nature connection and opening the heart and mind to the animist world. If you're feeling called to reconnect with the cycles and wisdom of nature and initiate into the practices that can guide you, we certainly recommend you take a look at this.
