    Bumping - coz, last chance to get tickets !!!

     

    There are a few unicorns running around who’ve figured out a way to re-appropriate the dusty old construct of academia to their own terms. Both Dennis McKenna and Bruce Damer were brilliant enough, brave enough and tenacious enough to do it. If you’re familiar with them you already know, if not, you’ll hear exactly what I’m referring to in this chat. Dennis McKenna is an ethnopharmacologist, researcher lecturer and author. He has spent decades doing deep academic and personal research on consciousness and psychedelics. Dennis is also the author of Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss, a memoire chronicling his adventures with his brother, the late Terence McKenna.

     

    In addition to being part of the same circle as Dennis and Terence McKenna, Dr. Bruce Damer, is a researcher at UC Santa Cruz focusing on origin of life theory. Bruce has also worked on projects for NASA in which he developed asteroid-capturing spacecraft.

    Hi Levi,

    Great to hear you doing well and that it wasn't such a hellish struggle after all !

    Good move to keep reducing rather than going on subs - the withdrawals are lesser- but last a hell of a lot longer (so essentially are the same just drawn out). Regarding cravings though, its a good idea to find a new activity - study, creative pursuits, gardening - anything productive to fill that need for dopamine in your brain and purpose/satisfaction in your life that the drugs once filled. 

    Check out the Thomas Recipe for supplements and the like that will make the whole process and general heath a lot better: https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/opiate-addiction/related-topics/the-thomas-recipe/#gref

    cheers,

    I would love to go, but a bit far of a drive :). Any chance the presentation would be available online at some point in the future?

    We do film all our events and James' talk will definitely be up on our Youtube channel sometime after.

    However for those people sharing stories - we will only video people who are okay with being be filmed

    Hey Sydneysiders,

     

    The next APS-Sydney event will be an afternoon tackling the dark side of psychedelics.

    We will be hosting an afternoon with the insightful James W. Jesso, Canadian author, public speaker, and podcast host in the psychedelic field. We will also handing over the microphone to you, the psychedelic community to share your own stories so we welcome you to message us with your name and a quick outline of what you would like to share at:



    Bad Trips: Rehabilitating after Psychedelic Turmoil

    Bad Trips are troubling and complex phenomena. This talk will provide a conceptual framework for understanding bad trips: where they come from, what it means/takes to rehabilitate, and what the culture gets wrong about them from Jesso's unique blend of spirituality, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and interpersonal neurobiology.  The lecture will offer some context for 'bad trips' that enables a healthy and helpful approach to the wounding and challenges that come with them.
     

    • WHEN:  Sunday, 27 October 2019 from 12:30-16:30 pm
      WHERE: Mothership Studios, Marrickville, 18-22 Sydney st, Marrickville, Sydney 2204,

    Thanks Communacacian :) - love the new look guide !

     

    To celebrate yesterday's Wattle Day I'd like to continue the tradition that Communacacian started last year by giving away 50 seeds to the first 10 members to reply here (5 each).

    Simply reply below and PM me your address

     

    The condition of requesting that each person receiving and germinating seed, gives away a successfully raised seedling to another member of the forum (or even the Facebook group) also applies due to the threatened status of this acacia species and scarcity of seed.

     

    Happy growing :)
