Topic: Social and relational dimensions of psychedelic experiences - from prehistoric cultures to modern times
About Lecture:

We will discuss:
- Traditional and ritualistic uses of psychedelics in various cultures
- Their impact on communities and collective experiences
- Contemporary research on their potential for treating relational disorders, trauma, and fostering deeper connections

Join me as we uncover the profound influence psychedelics have had on human connection across time.
