The Student Association for Psychedelic Investigation (SAPI - pronounced SAH-PEA) is a new club at Victoria University of Wellington that aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and research into psychedelics and altered states of consciousness.
We invite in people from all backgrounds - whether you are an emerging student, an expert in the field, or simply curious about altered states and looking to broaden your knowledge. Join us as we explore psychedelics, their effects on the brain and body, the function they have in different cultures, and the role they play in human evolution past, present, and *hypothetical* futures.
This year we will be meeting weekly (Friday 1-3pm, VUW Kelburn campus). The meetings will be ‘lab-based’ meaning that we will explore relevant research to psychedelics and altered-states of consciousness, share novel research as it emerges from the group, and explore altered-states of consciousness through an interdisciplinary lens.
You can keep up with us through our regular email newsletter (sapivuw@gmail.com) and through our new Facebook page even if you can’t join us in person!
