Join us for an afternoon featuring psychedelic academics and luminaries, reflecting on the powerful legacy of Sasha & Ann Shulgin. The Shulgins were pioneers in the field of psychedelic chemistry and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and left behind an incredible legacy of community, alchemical exploration, and academic and scientific rigor.
The Retrospective will be an afternoon of two panels, featuring historical, academic, scientific, and archival perspectives.
Hosted by author Erik Davis, this event is not to be missed!
Panelists will include:

Join WVC co-founder, Maria Mangini, in conversation with Jahanara Romney, one of the founders of the Hog Farm, which is often considered the longest-running hippie commune in the United States. The Hog Farm became internationally famous at Woodstock, where they organized the festival’s unorthodox security team, the “Please Force.” Together Jahanara and Maria will dive into Jahnanara’s fascinating tales of improvisation, circus arts, music, pranks, and communal creativity. Tonight will be an exceptionally rare opportunity to hear OG psychedelic women draw deep from the well of humor, art, and collective joy.
