Evolver NYC Spore: The Future of Psychedelics
Come join fellow evolvers as we explore and discuss the new frontiers emerging for psychedelics in our modern culture, as both scientifically verified medicines and intentional tools for personal development. The night features psychotherapist and author Dr. Neal Goldsmith, who will share his thoughts on the future of psychedelics after returning from MAPS' "Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century" conference. Evolver editorial director and "Breaking Open the Head" and “2012” author Daniel Pinchbeck will speak about his transformative experiences taking Iboga, and the Trypnotist, creator of Trypnosis, will be our DJ guide on a transcendental techno trip - no substances required.
The evening will also include an opportunity to interact in a number of workshops and artistic expressions: music, visuals and recreational brain wave entrainment by Psyncus (comprised of Positive Mental Trip, DJ C-Kat, and the Trypnotist); Trypnosis sessions via stroboscopic goggles with the Trypnotist; meditation trips through the imagination with the ID Project’s Joshua Adler; live drawings inspired by extra-dimensional music with Chris Kaplan; “Dream Yoga” with Matt Canale; a binaural beats and Theta brainwave inducing experiments with Eliott Edge; Reiki Energy Healing by Steve Urban (Traditional Usui Method); readings from the Thoth Tarot deck by mystic artist - Æres; a glimpse into the creative process of artist Emily Regan, through her live stream-of-consciousness painting; visionary abstract artist Collyn Gold will be bodypainting her psychedelic model; tarot readings by PermaYogi; delicious macaroons by Conscious Nosh and tasty vegan treats by Organic Bliss; learn more about the Green Bus Tour!

Corinne and I were talking about having some minimalist music played during the event. I can rally a few troops to play "In C" and we can have an open call to hand drummers or DJs to help keep the beat, preferably not too loud of a beat because we don't play very loud. Sound good? We were talking about having during the "Shmooze" part of the night.
