Join the Women’s Visionary Council on November 1 for A Day of Remembering: Honoring Psychedelic History. This afternoon gathering will honor elders, ancestors, and those whose lives have shaped our shared history in the psychedelic community. At this time of year, many cultures pause to acknowledge the dead and to reflect on what their lives and work have left in our care. We will bring that practice into our own context, listening to stories from those who lived through formative moments in this field and whose experience offers a record that will not be replaced once it is gone.
There will be time for questions, an altar for remembering, and a postcard-writing table where participants can contribute their own words to the record. This is an opportunity to be present with living witnesses to the history of the psychedelic movement, to carry forward their knowledge, and to recognize that the act of remembering is itself a form of cultural continuity.
Originating in 2008 as a response to a lack of visibility for female voices in the psychedelic space, the Women's Visionary Congress how now come to document decades of research, activism, and personal stories of cognitive liberty - a body of knowledge that will benefit future generations.
