Join us for a discussion with Bruce Sewick, therapist, teacher, addiction counselor and speaker on Psychedelics in the 21st Century.In this two-hour interactive discussion, Bruce walks us through:
Retrospective on how politics and misinformation caused psychedelics to be demonized and operationalized by the War on Drugs.
The current approach, of integrating psychedelics as part of the mainstream, rather than counterculture (and how this has resulted in the Psychedelic Renaissance) is then examined.
The benefits of mindful use of psychedelics starting with a review of how indigenous cultures have used psychedelics for societal benefit for centuries is reviewed along with current research.
