Monday Brunch: Music for Mushrooms free viewing

Plus other ecstatic news from around the internet

There’s a free peer support group for anyone experiencing post-psychedelic difficulties this Sunday at 5pm UK time. If you want to come, message me.

Music For Mushrooms is a powerful documentary by electronic musician East Forest, which dives into the transformative magic of music and psychedelics for inner growth and resilience.

It’s not available online at the moment, but East Forest has kindly made the film available for free to readers of Ecstatic Integration for the next week, from now until September 30th. You can watch it here: http://eastforest.org/julianevans

Also check out Rioardan Holly Regan’s article from a year ago, about how music can make, or ruin, a psychedelic experience - they describe how they were particularly helped / healed by a ceremony involving East Forest’s music.

Music is the medicine

After the paywall, Rationalists on Drugs (Scott Alexander, blogger and ketamine psychiatrist, on psychedelic hype), a new book by a philosopher on psychedelics gets reviewed in the New York Times, a new report on psychedelics from the Royal College of Psychiatrists; a freaky eugenicist match-making service for the very wealthy; what the hell is sissy hypno; and is Iain McGilchrist right-wing? Is that bad?
