——————————— “Do we know the treasure lost to us when we bury the information brought to us in altered or expanded states of consciousness? We cannot continue to bury the wisdom of the body- the human body, the body of the earth. Sex and other medicines have so much to teach us...” - Britta Love

The intersection between altered states of consciousness and sexual desire is charged, taboo and highly complex. Yet, it is a thread that has run throughout human history. Across the world, cultures have long bound ecstasy and eros, using trance states as gateways to the divine, from the sacred union rituals of Ancient Egypt to the fields of Glastonbury festival.

Embodiment, intimacy and intoxication continue to entwine and this thread is becoming more prevalent as the psychedelic renaissance continues to unfold.

Increasingly, people are revealing how therapeutic psychedelic experiences have healed their sexual trauma. At the same time, there are growing reports of sexual misconduct in psychedelic spaces, in recreational settings, ceremonies and even therapy rooms.

This summit will draw on both the light and the shadow sides of sex and psychedelics with a series of talks, performance and a screening.

We’ll discuss this convergence through the lens of culture, art and psychology, and finish the day with a social where you can meet and network with like-minded others.

— Talks & Topics Full line-up and schedule to be released.
