Psychedelics: The Catalysts for Change

Psychedelics: The Catalysts for Change

December 9, 2024 | Author: Péter Sárosi

We proudly present our videos filmed at the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research (ICPR) in June 2024, featuring many fascinating new research findings and incredible insights from world-renowned scientists and authors.

It is always one of the highlights of the year to attend the International Conference on Psychedelic Research (ICPR) and submerge into the mysterious world of psychedelics. This is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary research field with many exciting dimensions from the treatment of mental health problems to spiritual growth, from philosophy of mind to psychedelic art and culture. Psychedelics hold a promise to revolutionise our thinking on not one of these subjects. We interviewed many conference speakers and produced a longer (31:57) and shorter (5:39) video, we hope you will find these films helpful in gaining better understanding on how these substances catalyse social, psychological, cultural and spiritual change.
