Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story Revisited - Wales

Fresh from his recent African travels, Darren Le Baron presents his first UK talk to share his latest findings and research

After spending three months in Southern Africa among the San Bushmen, Zulu, and Himba communities, Darren returns to share insights by revisiting his popular series "Psychedelics in Africa: The Untold Story."

This series takes a closer look at the ancient history, mythology, and scientific studies surrounding psychoactive compounds found in Africa. For millennia, these powerful plants and fungi have been used by Africa's earliest indigenous peoples for spiritual and community growth—a practice that remains largely overlooked by modern scholars.

Many communities across Africa still use these sacred plants in their rites of passage, initiation ceremonies, spiritual communication, healing and daily rituals.

This presentation encompasses both African and Diasporic cultures, offering valuable information through academic references, highlighting correlations in symbolism and references in language which reveal thought-provoking insights.

R. Estr. Nacional 1

What:

This presentation encompasses both African and Diasporic cultures. Darren takes us on a chronological and geographical journey through time and space, offering valuable information through academic references. He highlights correlations in symbolism and language that reveal thought-provoking insights.

Darren will explore the revival of the archaic feminine through mythologies and traditions that connect the psychedelic experience to the Goddess mysteries. He'll examine how these have become encoded in various mythological and psychedelic rites of passage, from the ancient indigenous world to the present day.

This presentation will also delve into the ancient African and psychedelic roots of Yoga and its forgotten philosophy. We'll explore ancient mythologies that link the human entheogenic experience with the pathway of sacred union. Together, Yoga and psychedelics can take one on a journey that explores the power of the mind and the full potential of the human body, leading to mystical sacred union experiences.

Did you know that mushrooms are genetically more closely related to humans than they are to plants. We share an ancient common ancestor.

Did you know, some of these ancestors were alien visitors to this planet, they arrived here many moons ago, bringing with them extra-terrestrial resources and organic technology...

plus the key ingredients that would permit life as we know it today on Earth? No... Curious to learn more?

Prepare to be amazed as Darren explores the intriguing notion that humans are essentially mushrooms having a human experience. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and gain unique insights into the extraordinary world of mushrooms.
