Psychedelics and the Reimagining of Older Age
With Abbie Rosner and Rebecca Crichton
EVENT NOTES
Doors for this event will open at 6:30 PM. Town Hall events are approximately 75 minutes long.
What if psychedelics could make older age the most meaningful, expansive, and joyful time of one’s life?
This was the overwhelming message author Abbie Rosner heard from 36 older psychonauts she interviewed for her new book. To celebrate its publication, Abbie is inviting audiences to expand their consciousnesses around what older age can be.
“We are at a historic moment, where the aging boomers are searching for meaning and purpose just as psychedelics are coming into the mainstream. Back in the day, these powerful medicines helped envision a radical new youth counterculture. Now they are inspiring a radical new counterculture of aging.”
In this informal event, Abbie will share highlights from her own journey, excerpts from the book, and explain how she sees the beginnings of a new movement of conscious elders ready to meet the challenges of our troubled times. The book will be available for signing.
