The Science of DMT & Ayahuasca with Dr Chris Timmermann

The Science of DMT & Ayahuasca with Dr Chris Timmermann

Arches London BridgeLondon, England
Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 from 7 pm to 9:30 pm GMT
Overview

Join us to explore the intersection of science, shamanism + DMT (the 'spirit molecule') and the entities it reveals. Followed by a Q+A.

DMT is a psychedelic like no other… able to induce visions of alternative dimensions and communication with entities. It is also an active compound in ayahuasca: a brew from the Amazon used in rituals for healing and communication with spirits. 

Join Imperial College’s Dr. Chris Timmermann - one of the world’s leading DMT neuroscientists – as he explains how DMT is currently used in research to help us understand the brain, and consciousness, while also helping us heal from depression and other mental health conditions.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!

Testimonials from our guests

Super Interesting talks! Fun and Informative - Ally S.

Expertly run, talks are always super informative and a lot of fun! Couldn’t recommend these enough! 5 star. - Owen S

To have the opportunity to see Chris Timmerman live was absolutely brilliant, he delivered the talk so well. I thought it was a really balanced view on the subject too, not too heavy on the science and not too carried away with the spirituality side, just a great rounded view of it all. 10/10 happy that I attended. - Sam D
