Event description

To date, there have been two sold out lectures held at the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre. The lecture allows for attendees to experience a temporary, non-drug-induced hallucinogenic state using stroboscopics (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Stroboscopic Demonstration

Prior to the demonstration, there is a 45-minute lecture which includes:

• An in-depth comparison of psychedelic compounds covering effect, duration of action, and safety.
• Reviewing the most up-to-date scientific data on efficacy and use in depression and anxiety.
• Where they are found in nature including common cacti and mushroom species.
• Legality data including the most recent TGA (Australian Government Medicine Agency).
• How they might be used to better recognise and address the environmental crisis.

The lecture lasts for 45 minutes with an extended 30 minutes at the end for further questions and group discussion.
