Baltimore Psychedelic Society

Come join the Baltimore Psychedelic Society for a community social meeting on June 2nd from 7pm to 9pm at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse at 3128 Greenmount Ave in Baltimore.

**Red Emma's does require masks if you are not eating or drinking. They will have masks onsite.**

**Reminder: Our events are not a place to source, sell, or promote illegal substances/ceremonies/retreats. Let's keep these spaces protected. **

This is an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and explore the fascinating world of psychedelics. We'll discuss various topics, including the latest research on psychedelic therapy...

Whether you're new to psychedelics or a seasoned veteran, we welcome you to come to share your thoughts, ask questions and connect with others who are passionate about this field.

This is a free event and is open to everyone in the community. So come grab a coffee, relax, and engage in stimulating conversation. We hope to see you there!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

We would love to provide the space and opportunity to connect with others with similar interests. Please attend if you'd like to make community connections, learn something new or contribute your wisdom to the conversation.

**Please bring something to sit on and make yourselves comfortable**

We will spend about an hour discussing upcoming events and ideas. The rest of the time will be dedicated to questions from the group and sharing information.

Just a friendly reminder that our events are not the place to source drugs/plant medicines/illegal substances. Let's keep our gathering spaces safe.

BPS is committed to creating and fostering an inclusive community where all races, genders, gender identities, religions, ages, sexual orientations, and abilities are valued, respected, safe, and empowered.

In case of rain, we will reconvene online: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/2682444173

A Women's Circle is a safe and sacred space for women to come together and embrace each other's uniqueness, use our voices to express what we need and hold space for one another as we share our lived experiences.

Women have been gathering in circles throughout history. When we participate in a women’s circle, we carry on the tradition of our female ancestors by forming a sacred community to celebrate the feminine.
Our women’s circle welcomes all humans, cis or trans, who feel themselves to be a woman. We hope to have a wide variety of generations represented in our circles so that we may learn from one another throughout the various stages of life.

The women’s circle gives each participant a chance to speak their truth without judgment. We embrace women as our sisters by lifting each other up. Sharing with supportive, empowering women can help to release our burdens and lighten our load. When women gather and speak their truth, it is a powerful thing that can create dramatic shifts within ourselves, within our families and within our communities.

The women’s circle is a chance to focus on self-love. We are taking the time to nurture ourselves. The circle is a time to rest, to connect with sisters, and focus on physical, mental and spiritual well being. It is a time for healing.

We welcome you, exactly as you are.

The circles are facilitated by Kiley and Mandi. We will meet virtually on the first Monday of every month from 7pm-8:30pm. We will also hold in-person gatherings occasionally so that we can find deeper connection to one another.

We will begin with Community Guidelines, introductions and a brief meditation to bring us all together. The rest is up to us to co-create together.

Have you ever experienced a spontaneous alteration of your conscious state without intentionally inducing it? Whether it took the form of what society may label a psychotic break, a schizophrenic episode, a manic episode, a kundalini experience, a difficult meditation, a trip not ending when it was expected to, or something else that defies classification, this circle is a place to share, integrate, and find community around those experiences in a non-judgmental environment.

Stanislov and Christina Grof characterized some of these states as 'spiritual emergencies', rather than something to be pathologized. As with psychedelic states, spontaneous spiritual experiences can have much to teach us and can be a massive catalyst for growth, learning, and transformation. It can be difficult to go through and subsequently integrate these experiences alone, or with people that don't understand them. By connecting with others over these experiences, we can begin to heal the wounds of alienation that often accompany them.

Psychedelics are increasingly being accepted by society, but inducing the states they offer is a personal choice. If we are going to accept people voluntarily inducing these states, then it is far past time for society to stop stigmatizing similar experiences when they happen outside of an individual's control. I hope that by sharing our experiences with each other, these conversations can begin the work of ending that stigma - including any we may have internalized.

If you have a family member or loved one who has experienced any of these states and would like to attend to reach a better understanding of their experience, you may still attend even if you haven't experienced one of these states yourself.

This group cannot offer medical assistance or advice, and we are not trained professionals.
