Dr. James Fadiman and Brad Burge - 7pm, Thu May 2, Sofia University

Current psychedelic research - including discoveries in neuroscience, clinical studies, and work done in indigenous settings - offers some surprising results and insights. Topics we may discuss may be the overlap of “entheogenic” experiences with classical mystical experience especially those in the Buddhist tradition, applications for health and healing including addictions, severe life-long allergies, academic test-taking, neuromuscular improvements, and successful withdrawal from anti-depressants. We hope to include reporting on unpubished work with micro-doses, as well as experiments in accelerated scientific problem solving.

QUESTIONS WILL BE WELCOMED
