About this Event

Join us on Wednesday, June 4th for an illuminating fireside chat with Suzy Baker, Co-Founder of The Psychedelic Assembly and Susannah Cahalan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire and The Great Pretender, to discuss her latest book THE ACID QUEEN.


The Acid Queen brings to light the extraordinary and long-overlooked story of Rosemary Woodruff Leary—a woman who was far more than just Timothy Leary’s wife. Rosemary was a beatnik, psychonaut, and countercultural trailblazer, deeply embedded in the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s and ’70s. She worked alongside Leary on his books and speeches, shaped the media’s narrative around LSD, and ultimately risked everything for the safety of fellow psychedelic pioneers.

While Timothy Leary became a household name, Rosemary’s contributions—and sacrifices—faded into obscurity. Until now.


The New York Times has named The Acid Queen one of "the books we're most excited about in early 2025" so this is an event you won't want to miss!
