Flux Posted November 24, 2020 Hey all Sydney-Australian Psychedelic Society is hosting book club again at Alchemy Space in Newtown on Friday 27th October at 7 p.m On this occasion we will be focusing on a key essay from iconoclastic 20th psychedelic sage Timothy Leary; 'The Politics of Ecstasy'. Leary, perhaps best known for his co-authored 'The Psychedelic Experience' (along with Ralph Metzner And Ram Dass), and his notorious injunction to “Tune in, Turn On And Drop Out”, is a controversial figure in the psychedelic space, having been variously described as a genius, maverick, troublemaker and charlatan. Perfect for a book club meet up! In the present day psychedelic renaissance, Leary is oft referenced as a figure who mismanaged the counter cultural tumult of the 60s, and irresponsibly counselled the heedless use of psychedelics, and disengagement from mainstream cultural programming. So, we will let the great man speak for himself on the evening and make up our own minds, as Leary discusses the intersection of hedonism, the law and government, psychotherapy and brain science and re-imprinting . As always, anecdotes, tangents and newcomers most welcome. Tickets; $10:00 from https://events.humanitix.com/aps-sydney-book-club-politics-of-ecstasy cheers, Flux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
