Mystic Friends: Psychedelics and Spirituality
November 10 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
We are bearing witness to a psychedelic renaissance, as more and more states are legalizing or decriminalizing the use of these compounds. Most of the attention centers around their healing effect, especially as it relates to PTSD, depression and anxiety, and end of life trauma. However, psychedelics can also bring about a profound spirituality, in which the user experiences a mystical union with the Divine, replete with visions and a love so powerful that it defies explanation.
Come join us at Newtown Square Friends Meeting on November 10 at 1:00 p.m., for an in-depth discussion of this fascinating topic.
PS: “Sacred Knowledge” (see photo) is a book written by William Richards, described as: “the first well-documented, sophisticated account of the effect of psychedelics on biological processes, human consciousness, and revelatory religious experiences. Based on nearly three decades of legal research with volunteers, William A. Richards argues that, if used responsibly and legally, psychedelics have the potential to assuage suffering and constructively affect the quality of human life.” See this link for more on that book: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/sacred-knowledge/9780231540919
