LPC welcomes participants who share a mindset that reflects the the following statement made in reference to plant medicines.
"The call from the Amazon is to live psychedelically, which does not necessarily mean taking psychedelic (definition: mind manifesting) drugs. It means living in full recognition that what life is about is to be in a state of emergent mind .... connecting the emergent mind that holds us and to learn that that's where life force comes from. That's the message that they're wanting to transmit." - Eduardo Kohn, McGill University Anthropologist, author "How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology Beyond the Human".

Community implies our intrinsic need to share common values and experiences as we deprogram the conditioned mind that has fooled us into the mistaken belief that separation is "just being human". Through community connecting framework of mutual support, compassion, and kindness we can accelerate the process of Cultivating Awareness of Oneness "CAO".
"Mystical Experiences" are most likely the foundation of the world's great spiritual traditions typically accompanied by visions DMT induced either endogenously or externally.
The recent renaissance of psychedelics for scientific therapeutic study and extensive underground (in most countries) guided ceremony attest to society's greater acceptance of the emergent mind concept. References to both are abundant online.
Let LPC be your local connection as we sort through the myriad possibilities opening our minds to peace and awareness. May we navigate the mental map together with kindness at the core in these perilous and promising times.

See all- Monthly Meeting Wed Oct 9 2024, 6:30p Hempfield Apothetique 100 W Walnut St LancHempfield Apothetique, Lancaster, PA
Fall colors usher in a psychedelic array of color for the inevitable seasonal change just as the changes in our personal lives can reflect flow (or resistance) to the inevitable. Learning from nature brings us closer to non judgement and peace of mind. Resistance closes us to natural cycles adding to angst and depression. Our monthly integration circles will continue to support our evolution as we navigate the rough waters of changes socially and personally .
Since this is our last meeting before the presidential election there is a need to examine how the outcome will affect the psychedelic movement at large should the MAGA cult prevail. Our movement is about personal transformation for global transformation. That is the essence of community. Among so many other reasons to prevent a constrictive narrow minded party from destroying democracy (yes the current system on both sides is fraught with control by oligarchs) the major threat to free thought is Christian Nationalism. Trump’s Project 2025 will if he wins creates a blueprint for a medieval style dystopian patriarchy described in the novel The Handmaid’s Tale. Christian Nationalism does not believe in democracy or the teachings of Christ. Because democracy is too inclusive and allows for freedom of and from religion Christian Nationalism has twisted racist and misogynistic views into a political movement.
Like any endeavor it is not so much what we engage in but more HOW we engage . Being mindful that EVERYONE is waking up to the awareness of loving kindness is at exactly the rate in which we are suppose to be. Bring peace, love and understanding into all practices including voting. First register to vote if you are not. Then make a plan to vote preferably before Election Day Nov.5 because you never know what could pop up on that day that prevents you like an unexpected illness.
In our 2 party system not voting at all or third party voting is like a vote for Trump and an end to democracy. Pennsylvanians are key for a Harris victory.
Remember, you never know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Take nothing for granted.
