Psychedelic Club of Denver

🍄 The Denver mycology meetup is a local social gathering for experts and new growers alike to come together over the hobby we love. Learn how to grow mushrooms, discuss your results with friends, and dive into the science and community of mycology. We meet on the third Saturday of each month from 12 til 2 at The Coffee Joint.
🌟 Supplies to get started! If you don't know what you're doing, we love to teach and help people get started. If you have experience we would love to have your wisdom at the table. Gourmet, active, or decorative, we welcome all species.

Mycelium is welcome. Please no sourcing or selling active substances. TCJ is 21+ with ID.
See you soon.

Join us in the Eugene R. Lucero Conference Room as we dive into the first half of "Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds" a book by Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore. Released October 3rd 2022.

About the book:

You are in possession of an exquisite machine motionlessly buoyant in the softly circulating fluids of your skull. A world-building machine. And psychedelic molecules are the tools for tuning and operating this machine...

From LSD to magic mushrooms to DMT to Salvia divinorum, psychedelics are used across the globe to stimulate the brain and change the nature of the subjective world. In sufficient doses, these molecules have the potential, not only to alter the structure of the normal waking world, but to replace it entirely - to hurl the tripper into fantastical realms of immense complexity and strangeness, bursting with extraordinary ecologies of apparently intelligent and communicative beings. Whilst these effects seem almost impossible to comprehend, let alone explain, as our understanding the brain's ability to construct our model of reality in normal waking life deepens, the mechanism by which psychedelic molecules perturb its world-building machinery such that entirely novel and unimaginably bizarre worlds emerge begins to reveal itself.

Chemical pharmacologist and neurobiologist Dr. Andrew R. Gallimore (author of Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game) explains in unprecedented depth and detail how psychedelic drugs interface with the human brain, alter the structure and dynamics of the experienced world, and rapidly and efficiently switch the brain's reality channel, opening up a vast number of alternate worlds for discovery and exploration. Ultimately, using both molecular and post-molecular technologies, humans will be able to enter countless different worlds at will, to establish communication with the beings resident therein, and to engineer reality itself.

The Psychedelic Club of Denver is delighted to offer an opportunity for individuals to come together in a safe and supportive environment to explore the profound and transformative aspects of psychedelic experiences. Guided by an experienced facilitator and grounded in a foundation of respect, openness, and confidentiality, this monthly event aims to create a space where participants can share, reflect upon, and integrate their psychedelic encounters.

During the event, participants can expect:

• Sharing and Reflection: Through open and facilitated discussions, participants are encouraged to share their personal experiences with psychedelics. This could include insights gained, challenges faced, and the emotional and spiritual aspects of their journeys. Sharing in a group setting often allows for diverse perspectives and insights that can enrich one's own understanding.
• Community Support: The event fosters a sense of community where participants can connect with like-minded individuals who share an interest in exploring consciousness. Building connections with others who've walked similar paths can be deeply affirming and validating.
• Emotional Support: A facilitator skilled in holding space for emotional experiences is available to provide guidance and support, ensuring that all participants feel heard and understood.

In order to establish and maintain a safe space for all participants:

• Please arrive by 7:30, ready to hold space for others in a safe and support setting. Ten minutes will be allotted to settle in and socialize. The door will be locked at 7:40, after which no new participants may join the group.
• Respect the rules and boundaries provided by the facilitator.
• Refrain from defining others' experiences, diagnosing others, and disrespecting others.
• Remember, listening can be more powerful than speaking.

Failure to comply with these guidelines may lead to you not being welcome at future events.

A Psychedelic Experience Processing Group is not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment, but rather a complementary space where individuals can offer and receive support and share practices that encourage lasting and sustainable positive change. It's a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth, inviting participants to explore the uncharted territories of consciousness with a supportive and understanding community by their side.
