Hi there,

Three and a half years ago, an experience with ayahuasca shook me to my core. It was one of my first true explorations of psychedelics and in its aftermath it transformed my conception of the world, my deepest assumptions about myself and my life… my work, my friendships, my own values. It was like waking from a dream. But for all its beauty and potential, I felt adrift and deeply alone. I didn't know how to find people who could speak the language my heart was now feeling, who shared my new vision of life.

Five months later, I found the Psychedelic Society and the safe harbour my unmoored soul longed for. And a new conviction in the power of community to transform. Creating spaces and experiences that bring like-hearted people together is at the core of our mission; to help you ‘find the others,' in Timothy Leary's famous words. And it continues to be a joy for me to witness people finding their way on their own journeys.

Although all the events we put on are about connection, today we’re highlighting those focused on community building in local areas. Join us for:

A community exploration of the theme of PRESENCE - its power and why we struggle to be present in our lives
In Bristol, we continue our Psychedelic Cinema Club and the next Psychedelic Sharing Circle
Two upcoming editions of our ever-popular Speed Friending events in both Brighton and London

HOW CAN WE GROW?
We are still seeking out the best ways to nurture this community virtually for all of you outside the UK looking to connect with others in the community. If you have any suggestions or would like to help us with this project, please do get in touch at lauren@psychedelicsociety.org.uk.
