*This is a re-visit of our talk February talk with Zeus*
Where does creativity come from—and what happens when we disrupt the mind’s usual patterns? Could DMT, one of the most powerful psychedelics, open new ways of thinking and creating?
Join us for a free online conversation with Sarah Tilley, a psychedelic-assisted therapist and former classical violinist, and Zeus Tipado, a neuroscientist researching the intersection of psychedelics, consciousness and virtual realities (VR).
In this fascinating talk, we’ll explore the inner workings of a creative mind, how DMT interacts with the brain, how it influences our thought processes and perceptions, and what happens when altered states take place within immersive virtual environments.
We’ll also look at how psychedelic and virtual experiences can shift our sense of self—and how they might lead to creative breakthroughs and entirely new ways of solving problems and seeing the world, both around us and within.
Plus, there will be a live Q&A and all attendees will receive a recording of the talk.
