Come join us for a deep dive into how different psychedelics,
plant/fungi or synthetic, impact creativity.
This dynamic workshop starts out with a lecture/discussion highlighting reasons why people may choose one substance over the other for creative purposes. Then, after looking at art inspired by different kinds of psychedelics, we’ll make our own artwork exploring our thoughts and feelings about this complex issue. Throughout we’ll examine risks, benefits, and impact (positive and negative) of plant versus synthetic psychedelics.
Absolutely no artistic experience or skill is necessary. Art supplies will be included.
We’ll walk you through simple techniques to make the art process not only approachable, easy, and fun, but something that deepens your understanding of yourself and the topic at hand. For beginners to psychonauts interested in using art and creative processes.
