Between Worlds: The Psychedelic Heritage of Halloween & Death Festivals with Darren Le Baron
This is a live online session. If you cannot attend on the scheduled event, you can still purchase a ticket and access the recording, which will be available for a limited time to all ticket holders.
As we enter the season when cultures worldwide believe the veil between physical and ancestral realm dissolves, prompting many traditions to set aside time to honour and celebrate this unique connection with our ancestors. Join Darren Le Baron as he delves into the rich historical tapestry and esoteric significance behind Halloween and other seasonal death festivals across cultures, exploring their intricate and often overlooked connections to psychedelic traditions.
From the vibrant altars of Día de los Muertos in Mexico to the rhythmic celebrations of Gede Fete, the Festival of the Ancestors in Haiti, to Pagan gatherings across Europe and the shadowy rituals of secret societies throughout history—what connects these diverse traditions?
There are rites and timeless emblems representing the cyclical nature of death, the eternal connection to ancestry, the transformative promise of resurrection, and the mysterious realm of spirits known as the spirit realm.
Long before Halloween manifested in its contemporary commercialised form as we know it today, cultures worldwide developed and meticulously preserved these sacred rites, elaborate artistic expressions, and ceremonial traditions as vehicles to commune with realms beyond the veil of ordinary perception, honouring ancestral spirits and exploring the boundaries between worlds visible and invisible.
Throughout this presentation, Darren will methodically uncover and thoughtfully interpret the lost, forgotten, and deliberately obscured meanings concealed within this rich tapestry of death symbolism, while drawing compelling and evidence-based connections to the historical use of psychedelics in spiritual practices across numerous cultures and time periods.
Expect a fascinating and illuminating night of:
Arcane tales from across continents spanning millennia, and ancient symbolic systems decoded for the here and now
Detailed insights into ancient rituals, examining the tools, techniques, and transformative objectives utilised
Reflections on the universal human experiences of death, the nature of consciousness across different states of being, and diverse cultural conceptions of the afterlife

Psychedelic Mysteries of Christmas with Darren Le Baron
This is a live online session. If you cannot attend on the scheduled date, you can still purchase a ticket and access the recording, which will be available for a limited time to all ticket holders.
Have you heard that Christmas may have psychedelic origins?
What inspired Santa Claus's iconic red and white attire? Was it merely a Coca-Cola marketing creation, or could it be linked to the Amanita Muscaria mushroom the red and white fungi revered for its psychoactive properties?
And what about festive traditions like flying reindeers and Santa's little helpers? Where does that all come from… Do these beloved symbols have deeper, more mystical origins?
While many associate Christmas with the Virgin birth of Jesus Christ, could there be another layer to this story? Could Jesus have been a metaphor for a mushroom?
