About the event
Psychedelics can create revolution. Turning to the Black Literary Canon, we find a powerful Set, Setting and Container that transforms psychedelic journeys into a chrysalis for revolutionary consciousness.
We will connect Frederick Douglass and Assata Shakur to Albert Hoffman and Rick Doblin. We will trace a lineage of resistance, consciousness expansion, and liberation. How can psychedelics deepen our connection to historical struggles? How does writing become a portal for visionary change?
This immersive event will blend insightful discussion with hands-on practice, concluding with a writing workshop and guided psychedelic-inspired exercises designed to awaken creativity and revolutionize the way we see the world.
Bring a pad, a pen and your imagination.
