Connectedness

Mental health is at an all time low, the NHS is on its knees and our children are lost in a world of computers and social media rather than outdoor adventures and embodied play.

Are we in the middle of an epidemic of disconnectedness from ourselves, community, and the natural world? Many people believe that we need a seismic shift.

Perhaps that need for change is fuelling the huge interest in psychedelic therapies.

What can psychedelics teach us about coming back to connectedness? And are there other (legal) ways to feel part of a web of life full of beauty, awe, reciprocity, and belonging?

We are joined at the Merlin Theatre by Ros Watts, Sam Gandy and Isla Macleod, whose combined experience in the field of psychedelic research, mental health and ecology can lead us into a vibrant discussion about the state of our nation and how psychedelics and nature rich therapy might help people to connect at a deeper level with themselves, their natural environment and each other.
