Psychedelic Futures is a free, biweekly meeting to connect people with an interest in psychedelics. We welcome you to join us in growing the psychedelic community in Chicago. All are welcome - from clinicians to enthusiasts to the psychedelic-curious! We will discuss the past and future of psychedelics in our society, sometimes using readings as our guide and sometimes our own personal experiences. These sessions are led by UChicago anthropologist and Sana intern, Lorna Hadlock.
This month, we are celebrating ONE YEAR of Psychedelic Futures!
This past year, we really focused on books except for one movie-focused month. This upcoming year, we’d like to switch it up more. Podcasts seem like a good place to start! If anyone has any topics, materials, or activities they would like us to focus on or even lead a discussion on, feel free to reach out to Lorna!
On Saturday, September 13th, we will meet at Sana at 11:30 am. On Saturday, September 27th, we will meet virtually at 11:30 am.
The topic for September is the Luminous podcast from Wisconsin Public Radio’s To the Best of our Knowledge, specifically the May 9th episode, Marcelo and Kari Gleiser on tripping with your partner, and the August 2nd episode, Thomas Metzinger on why we need a “culture of consciousness”.
Our discussion will offer opportunities to talk about the podcast episodes as well as our own personal experiences and perspectives. Please feel free to attend even if you haven't had a chance to listen, as we will select some excerpts to play together to prompt discussion.
Participation in the group is free, but donations to Sana are always appreciated!
