Psychedelics are having a big moment, with a research renaissance exploring their effects and potential in full swing. Taking centre stage is psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, which have long been used by indigenous communities for purposes of divination and healing.
In this interesting talk, you will learn about how psilocybin imparts its powerful effects on the human psyche. You will also hear how it might treat depression, addiction and other mental health conditions, and potentially lead to the betterment of well people?

To have the opportunity to see Chris Timmerman live was absolutely brilliant, he delivered the talk so well. I thought it was a really balanced view on the subject too, not too heavy on the science and not too carried away with the spirituality side, just a great rounded view of it all. 10/10 happy that I attended.
