The WVC Creates New Holiday to Honor Susi Ramstein the First Woman To Take LSD

On Wednesday, June 12, from 7-9 pm, the Women’s Visionary Council will partner with the Chalice and special guest Susanne Seiler to celebrate Tram Day at the Berkeley Alembic. This new holiday honors Susi Ramstein, Dr. Albert Hofmann’s laboratory assistant. Susi became the first LSD guide after accompanying Dr. Hofmann on his famous bicycle ride. She is also the first woman to take LSD and sensibly took the tram home. Join us to celebrate this woman pioneer, take an imaginary tram ride, and learn about the history of LSD.

The Women’s Visionary Council invites you to celebrate this new psychedelic holiday with us, either in person at the Berkeley Alembic or by livestream.
