'The Future of Psychedelics'. Be great to see
you there!
TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP OUT-MODED THINKING: THE SYNERGY 'FUTURE OF PSYCHEDELICS SYMPOSIUM'
A panel of seasoned UK Psychedelic voyagers from various generations will help us look into the future of Psychedelics in general and into the future of the UK Psychedelic scene specifically. We will go backwards to go forwards, in time and place and see how the ideas of 'psychedelic gurus' such as Aldous Huxley,Tim Leary,Terrence and Dennis McKenna, Ken Kesey, Fraser Clark and others relate to the coming generation of psychedelic users.
We will look at the history of the Psychedelic scene (particularly in the UK) and what went right and what went wrong.
We will also look at Psychedelics in the context of women and various 'ethnic' groups, subject too often ignored.
Both the first and second Summers of Love will be explored in relation to Psychedelic usage and the development of the role of Psychedelics in Alternative Clubbing and Alternative Festivals will also be analysed.
Various Psychedelic drugs old and new, synthetic and natural will be looked at and analysed for their future role in the Psychedelic scene. LSD, DMT, Magic Mushrooms, Ayahuasca, MDMA, Psilosybin, Mescaline, Cannabis, Ecstasy and many others. Synergy clubbers will be encouraged to relate their experiences with various Psychedelics.
We will also look at the changes in the legal situation on relation to psychedelics over the last 60 years focusing on the UK. Education about Psychedelics, a rarely discussed topic will be explored.
Then the Synergy panelists and the Synergy audience will brainstorm together to see how the Psychedelic scene might look in the future.
The panel will include Fraser Clark (former editor of 'Encyclopedia Psychedelica' and the founder of UK Alternative Psychedelic clubbing via 'Megatripolis' and 'The Warp Experience'), Mark Heley (who brought Alternative Psychedelic clubbing to America from the UK via 'ToonTown' and has recently been involved in the Sunrise Celebration and WaveForm Festivals), Andy Letcher (author of the controversial best seller 'Shroom which has upset some well established psychedelic icons), Samantha Bennett (who has led Ayahuasca workshops at Synergy) and others to be announced.
This is a don't miss event.
