Join us for this 3-part series starting 11th Nov 7:00pm – 9:30pm

Darren Le Baron will share this knowledge and experience through the lenses of ancient history and mythology.

Several communities use these sacred plants in their rites of passage, initiation ceremonies and daily rituals.

We will also explore how through psychedelic liberation we can help support mother Africa’s children in the diaspora in the here and now with their true emancipation.
