Psychedelic conference in nyc!
    #7507055 - 10/10/07 08:56 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I just saw a poster for this at my school, got my ticket already:

http://www.horizonsnyc.org/

"Horizons is an afternoon of learning about psychedelics. Psychedelics are a unique class of psychoactive drugs that have been used by humans for thousands of years. Millions of people in every corner of the globe have used them to alter their consciousness in search of introspective contemplation, spiritual insights, creative exploration and physical and psychological healing.

In the 1950's and early 1960's, legal research with psychedelics spurred important discoveries in science and psychology. During the 1960s, psychedelics entered worldwide popular culture. Fueled by the wild social dogmas of the era, recreational use become commonplace. Questions about their safety, medical value, history and implications in politics and culture were unfortunately answered with numerous myths spread by both their users and the media.

Times are changing. The freewheeling sixties are now a distant memory and the hype of the millennial rave fever has finally been laid to rest. Incredibly, in the face of government and institutional biases, a small group of dedicated researchers and activists have orchestrated a renaissance in psychedelic research that is re-shaping the public's understanding of these unique substances.

Horizons seeks to open a fresh dialogue about psychedelics and challenges the 21st century to rethink their role in history, culture, medicine, spirituality and art.

Speakers
Kenneth Alper MD, Rick Doblin Ph.D, Neal Goldsmith Ph.D, Alex & Allyson Grey, Julie Holland MD, Michael Mithoefer MD, Ethan Nadelmann Ph.D and Andrew Sewell MD.

Artists
Garrison Buxton, Ray Cross, Scott Draves, Nick Hallett, Todd Polenberg, Robert Horansky, Image Node, Anakin Koenig, Aaron Taylor Kuffner, Deniz Kurtel, Leif Krinkle, Zach Layton, Brock Monroe, Peripheral Media Projects, Leo Villareal and James Vogel. More artists will be added shortly."

I'm more into the science stuff than the spirituality/mysticism aspect of the psychedelic experience, but it looks like it will be a nice balance of speakers and perspectives representing.

Woot!

And also, any NY peeps: go see the Final Directors Cut of Blade Runner showing on a huge amazing screen at the Ziegfeld theater--it's a masterpiece and is essential viewing for the psychedelic urban warrior :borg:  :psychsplit: I already saw it and I'm going again.
