# PSYCHEDELIC CINEMA **[🎟️ Purchase Ticket Here 🎟️](https://dandelion.events/e/q8a4l)** Film Screening and Community Conversation with The Psychedelic Society **🎥 Reframe Reality Through a New Lense – Integrate Together 🎥** Join us for a journey into mind-expanding cinema at bi-monthly screenings. This is an opportunity to slow down explore storytelling that bends our our understanding of reality. Together we will unpack the strange, beautiful, and transgressive world of psychedelic filmmaking with like-minded souls in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Key themes we may touch on include the nature of reality, free will, the meaning of life, and the relationship between dreams and waking life. In a world that moves fast, spending time sat in shared attention is the connection we need, to ground, recharge, and gain clarity. Come as you are: solo, with friends, or to meet new ones. This is a space for everyone. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks. Tea will be provided. ### **GUESS THE FILM** An animated meditation on consciousness, drifting through a series of interconnected dreams. One man's attempt to discern the difference between waking life and the dream world leads to profound philosophical conversations on free will, death, identity, and the nature of reality itself. A scene where strangers interrupt the rhythm of everyday life long enough to truly see one another. ### LOCATION 📍 Shai Space

*this event is advertised elsewhere so there will be more people coming than stated* **✨ Welcome to Conundrum Corner at The Union Jack pub, Southwark! ✨** Step inside and join a gathering *of* open minds and kind hearts. Whether you bring a conundrum of your own that you are experiencing or simply your listening ear, you’ll find a welcoming space to share, reflect, and explore life’s tricky questions together. 🌿 **What to expect:** * You’re invited to share a conundrum, dilemma or question that you yourself are experiencing. * We’ll vote on three intriguing ones to explore more deeply. * With a few extra details in hand, we’ll break into small groups for thoughtful discussion. * Then, we’ll come together as one big group to share insights, perspectives, and perhaps even some fresh solutions. The atmosphere is **analytical yet empathetic, thoughtful yet light-hearted**, and always non-judgmental. Whether your conundrum is personal, professional, or just a head-scratcher, we’re here to help unravel it together. 💸 There’s no set fee to attend, but we do ask for donations on the night to cover costs - which are warmly appreciated! 🍷 Please also support our lovely hosts, Jade and co., by buying yourself a drink at the bar (and food’s available if you fancy a bite). 💡 **What’s a conundrum, you ask?** A conundrum is any dilemma, crossroads, or confusion in your life—big or small. It could be a **"chicken and egg"** situation, a **"catch-22"**, or a **"have your cake and eat it"** kind of puzzle. Sometimes, life just throws us complex, messy questions—and that’s what we’re here to navigate together. Once our deep discussions wind down, we’ll slip into **pub mode**—a chance to relax, connect, and continue chatting with newfound friends. **🛡️ Code of Conduct - *please note*** Conundrum Corner is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all attendees. Any abuse, harassment, or inappropriate behaviour towards other attendees, whether during the event or in any contact related to the event afterwards, will result in permanent removal from the Meetup group and exclusion from future events.
