Special Event: Embodiment meets Psychedelics

Major studies are being undertaken around the world, including in Perth next year, for a trial with 70 people using psilocybin for (so-called) treatment-resistant depression. Previous clinical trials led by Dr. Rosalind Watts have followed a protocol guided by the A.C.E model (1).

In this special event, we will be proposing an objective outcome measure for the embodiment component of the ACE Model.

This will be hosted at the new Karrinyup Wellness Precinct. This centre is a state-of-the-art facility which is an ideal model for psychedelic integration work. Come take a tour of the facility to see what’s possible, keep your finger on the pulse for what’s going on in the psychedelic healing arts, and enjoy connecting with some high calibre humans.

Doors open from 5:30pm, talk starts at 6:00pm sharp (this is a seated event).

Tobias Penno will talk from 6:00 - 6:30.

Simon Martin will talk from 6:30 - 7:00.

Touring the facility, networking and mingling from 7:00 - 8:00.

This event will SELL OUT quickly, so don’t delay on nabbing a ticket.
