Sex & Psychedelics: A Two-Night Journey Into The Alchemy Of Ecstasy & Altered States Of Being
An Immersive Salon Series Exploring Erotic, Ecological, and Conscious Connection
November 6–7 · Oakland, CA
As part of Global Psychedelic Week, join us for two evenings of conversation, connection, and collective imagination for embodied pleasure as a portal to liberation. Sex & Psychedelics is a multi-night salon and a ceremonial exploration blending art, dialogue, and embodied presence. It's an invitation to explore altered states of consciousness through all that is sacred within and around us.
Note: While this is not a play party or sexually interactive space, this is a verbal practice party. The emphasis is on education, conversation, and collective reflection around how we relate to love, pleasure, and altered states of being in a containter that allows us to be held, heard and seen.
