About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Psychedelics are making headlines. But behind the buzz, there’s a mess of good science, bad science, hype, and half-truths.

Join applied neuroscientist Aneta Herrenschmidt-Moller and Mind Circle Talks for a 2-hour online session that cuts through the noise.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a straight-talking, interactive space to learn, question, and make sense of what’s really going on.

You’ll get:

  • Clear, simple ways to tell good information from bad
  • What’s actually happening in your brain during a psychedelic experience
  • How to think about risks, safety, and real-world use , without hype or fear
  • Practical critical thinking skills you can use with or without psychedelics
  • A chance to ask real questions and have honest discussions

Curious, sceptical, or just want to make smarter choices? You’re in the right place.

Accessibility:

  • Camera optional
  • Breaks built in
  • Let us know your access needs
  • Session recording included with your ticket

Buying a ticket adds you to our updates list, you can opt out anytime, no questions asked.
