In less than 5 days we will be gathering for the 10-year Anniversary EGA Psychedelic Symposium. This year’s program has a strong international lineup; 5 guests from around the world will join us to cover a wide range of topics including Ayahuasca Shamanism, Ibogaine Treatment for Opioid Dependence, ‘Synthetic’ Drug Regulation, and Underground Psychedelic Therapy… and that is just the tip of the programming iceberg. We have come a long way since our first official EGA event in 2004, before which there was an annual plant meeting in an outer eastern suburbs library. Today, EGA is a world-renowned conference event, a leader in presenting psychedelics as having positive potential, and a think tank for drug law reform advocates around Australia. We hope you can join us for another chapter in the important discussion around sacred plants & chemicals, and psychedelic science & culture.

I remember meeting Darklight in 2002 at a large northern event, lets just say CS and the old SAB guard where there in full swinging madness that weekend and the star never had so many shades of colore and deepth. Than i had the good fortune of continuing to growing my friendships with many at the Melb meets over the coming years, decade even (shit i getting old). I have meet loads of special people and traided many plant some of witch i have been planting and repotting over the last month as I moved in to a new house in the hills (belgrave). I have been a little slack with melb meet over the last year or two (weekend work commitments more than anything), but i be at this one with bells on, and sure hope to see you there. Very much looking forward to this mega plant meeting. R
