Join us for an hour with master ceremonialist, Ehren Cruz, as he shares his views on the alchemical frontier, ritual play, and community theater. This special presentation is a deep dive exploration into the “recreational” psychedelic frontier and WHY people since time immemorial have been called to expand consciousness through psychedelic medicines in community settings. It’s also a direct response to the taboo culture that has used religion, law, and moral superiority to diminish the importance of psychedelic exploration outright or only within a strict therapeutic or traditional ceremonial setting. Its time to redefine the relationship of psychedelics in ecstatic experiential community settings to being far more than just “recreation”.

Ehren will discuss the Three Waves of Psychedelic movements and their impact: Ancient Civilization & Indigenous use, the rebirth of psychedelic movements 60’s, and the contemporary renaissance breaking down the doors of the War on Drugs.  We will also explore the power of collective psychedelic use in conjunction with music, art, radical creativity and culture to expand paradigms of the human potential through festival culture. We will challenge the idea of there being a dramatic separation between recreational, intentional and sacramental use and how removing these limiting definitions can create greater freedom for growth and discovery.  Lastly, we’ll explore, with both a mystical & scientific lens, what we are actually doing: amplifying our psychic, empathic and intuitive capacities in this dynamic magical environment together.

Followed by a screening of Hoffman’s Potion, a documentary film about LSD.

Adults only.
