PsySoc Social: Speed-Friending & Psychedelic Storytelling
RITUAL BAR, 8, Marine Court, Saint Leonards-on-sea TN38 0DX, Hastings, GB# ABOUT THE NIGHT
Psychedelic Speed-friending: sweet conversation, friend-making and (maybe?) finding your future lover! You can drop the small talk and ask the questions you REALLY want to ask. Taking inspiration from the 36 Questions to Intimacy and The School of Life's '100 Questions,' this evening gives you a menu of profound, intriguing, and spicy questions designed to inspire authenticity and meaningful connection with those around you.You’ll be guided through playful icebreakers and a series of 10-minute one-on-one conversations with different people throughout the evening, wrapping up with free-flowing socializing.You’ll leave here with a fresh perspective on connection, some fun stories, and maybe even the beginning of something special.
Psychedelic Storytelling: this is becoming a must for our monthly socials. There will be the opportunity for all of us to share our psychedelic stories - the weird, the tricky and the downright wonderful. This part of the evening will be open-mic style and we will have a sign-up sheet to add your name to the list of storytellers. Your stories should be no more than 5 minutes and there's no need to rehearse what to say or come particularly prepared - often the best stories are told off-the-cuff and from the heart!
A Beautiful Psychedelic Community: Get access to our wonderful community coalescing around all things fungi. Many people at our socials have become life-long friends. Most of our members come alone, this is a safe and welcoming space for everyone, no matter your age, sexuality, background, gender, ethnicity or nationality. Fungi know no boundaries, which is the ethos we bring to our socials.
Delicious Food and Drink: Indulge in an incredible cokatail or mocktail from Ritual and the best burgers in town, from Half Man Half Burger, or perfect pizza's from Pizzarelli, both next door. It’s the perfect accompaniment to an evening of artistic exploration.

Dancing Awareness
Meditatio Centre, St Mark’s, Myddelton Square, London EC1R 1XX., EC1R 1XX, GB# The magic of meditation and the joy of movement combined!
Group awareness practice is a powerful and direct way to experience the peaceful, expansive and vibrant qualities of awareness. It doesn't take years of practice. It's non-hierarchical, and led by your own curiosity.
We then embody and express these qualities in spontaneous movement, to eclectic tunes, in an amazing spacious venue.### About Non Duality
Whilst it might seem that we are separate from the world we observe, the nondual perspective is that you and the world aren't two different things. They are "not two".
They are "non-dual."
Because this is already true, it's not something that needs to be created or cultivated - simply noticed. Separation as an illusion that can be seen through.
Group Awareness is a powerful practice that can shed light in this perspective. It can foreground already existing qualities of experience like peace, spaciousness and freedom
These qualities are subtle, so it's useful to slow down at first to notice them.### Movement
But life is dynamic. It's no good if peace is only recognised when still!
With the mind relaxed, intuition takes over. We play some music and let the body lead the way. Some have mistaken this for ‘dancing’. (Scholars are in dispute.)
It is a natural way to integrate non-dual meditation with daily life.
Also, its fun.### Feedback from previous offerings:
★★★★★ “The glimpses of what I experienced were revelatory. I felt very supported in the fellowship and in the experience and compassion showed by Amir. Thank you” - Erika
★★★★★ “Amir created such a friendly, open atmosphere and guided us to explore lots of fascinating states of mind. He also has a good balance between facilitating but not being too dominant; it felt like a shared journey. Lovely bunch of people and it was also nice seeing the same people every week. Can't wait for further courses like this.” - Alice
★★★★★ "Hands down, one of the richest, most rewarding courses I've attended. Brilliant facilitation." Jen Allanson
I am so grateful to have come to these practices this way, and to have had the chance to begin learning them amongst and from such lovely and supportive people” - Melanie
★★★★★ “This was a beautiful, beautiful event. It was peaceful and liberating, although surely some people might have felt other emotions. I appreciated a lot the fact that aside from nice words and a space, we were actually taught techniques and discussed them. Amir is a wonderful presence. Recommended!” - Giuseppe###

An evening of real talk, new friends & wild tales…And a potluck.
Tired of small talk? So are we.
Come drop the mask and dive into something a little more real.
Join us for a night of Psychedelic Speed-Friending, where we’ll gently guide you through playful ice-breakers and juicy conversation prompts designed to help you meet new people in meaningful ways. Think slow, soul-nourishing conversations rather than frantic networking. Expect short but impactful heart-to-hearts in pairs.We'll then share a potluck dinner together. Bring along a dish or snacks to share with the group.
To close the evening, we'll do some Psychedelic Storytelling, a beloved open mic session where you can take the stage and share your psychedelic happenings. This could be anything you feel called to share: A trip report, a spiritual experience, a weird dream, a moment of profound realization. There’s no need to be polished or profound, just honest.
# Venue
The evening will take place at the super-cosy Gasworks Studio on Narroways Road in St. Werburghs. There will be herbal teas provided and lots of comfy cushions and blankets. Postcode will be sent on the purchase confirmation email.
