The Signs of Life Psychology presents
Philosophy and Psychedelics: The Big Questions

In-person and live stream tickets are available through Humanitix
 
Wisdom practices have long been bound to psychedelic experience and exploration. In fact, much of the wisdom of philosophy may be indebted to the historical use of Kykeon, a fact commonly forgotten in light of the Apollonian bias of contemporary philosophy. In this evening of dialogue and discussion, the panel will discuss the big questions raised by psychedelic experiences.

How might philosophy begin to comprehend the exceptional experiences that psychedelics have afforded human beings in various cultures across history? What does philosophical thought and analysis have to offer to the project of understanding psychedelics and psychedelic experiences and how may psychedelics, in turn, inform and influence philosophical modes of thought and behaviour?

Join  our panel of philosophers: Dr Traill Dowie, Dr Chris Letheby and Dr Sam Douglas for a deep dive into philosophy, psychedelics and the big questions. This event will elicit diverse and dynamic dialogue between the panel members. Participants will be invite to join this rich discussion and break for social/community connection.
