Psychedelics, Ego Death & The Afterlife - Online

Psychedelics, Ego Death & The Afterlife

In this talk Darren will explore ancient mythologies that connect the human entheogenic experience, the mythical Underworld and the ancient art of navigating the afterlife, and how this all corresponds with the psychedelic experience coined "Ego Death".

He will take you on a historical journey and look at the origins of these practices in ancient Africa, Mesopotamia and Europe and how they have become coded in several mythological entheogenic rites of passages throughout the ancient indigenous world in initiation ceremonies and daily ritual.

As we enter the seasonal celebrations of Halloween, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, Day of the Dead and the Fete Gede Darren will also explore these cultural traditions and their connections with psychedelic phenomena!
