Join us in uncovering the mysteries of Christmas and discover the surprising connections between psychedelics and this festive season.
Online (17:00 - 19:00 GMT)
Darren Le Baron will be delivering his timely and seasonal presentation The Psychedelic Mysteries of Christmas. Have you ever heard that both Christmas and Santa Claus have psychedelic origins? Is Christmas not the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ? Oh yeah, Santa’s little helpers and flying reindeers… where does all this come from?
What, if any, are the psychedelic connections?
According to some, Jesus is a Mushroom, and the story of Santa Claus is not the creation of Coca-Cola, Saint Nicholas, or a children’s story. It exists because of a small living being with great powers: the magical Amanita Muscaria mushroom. There is much debate as to whether or not these psychedelic clams are actually true. Darren has been doing extensive research on this sensitive subject and is now ready to share his findings with the world.
In this talk, Darren will explore the ancient origins of Christmas, and some of the not so well known truths about this festive season. With so much distortion and misrepresentation over the years, it is now time to shed light on the Psychedelic Christmas mysteries before they are totally removed from folklore, as well as our history books.
Darren will leave no stone unturned in this talk, so if this is the first time you’re hearing any of this, we hope it doesn’t ruin Christmas for you, but enhance it. Either way come along and be blown away by this thought provoking talk.
