Overview

Join us for drinks, thinks, and a mind-expanding evening!

Can a mystical experience heal trauma by rewiring your mind? As psychedelics move from the counterculture to the cutting edge of mental health care, scientists are discovering something remarkable: the most powerful part of treatment may not be the drug itself, but the extraordinary experience it produces.

Brown University psychologist Dr. Nicholas K. Canby stops by for a journey into the science, mystery, and therapeutic potential of altered consciousness. Drawing on his interdisciplinary Brown course Psychedelics in Religion, Science, and Healing, Dr. Canby explores why experiences once associated with spiritual revelation — from the dissolution of the ego to encounters with the divine — are now being studied as catalysts for psychological change.

What makes a psychedelic experience transformative? Why do some people come away feeling more connected, more hopeful, even transformed, while others find the journey unsettling? With scientific grounding and practical insight, hear Dr. Canby as he takes us beyond the buzz to explore the magic, risks, and mysteries of psychedelic experience.

After the talk, keep the good vibes flowing with a one-hour open bar. Mingle, compare revelations, and make a connection.

This program is part of 92NY Recanati-Kaplan Talks.
