Mental health is complex, deeply human, and shaped by far more than chemistry alone. Healing can involve connection, meaning, safety, rest, creativity, nature, therapy, community - and sometimes entirely new ways of seeing ourselves. This week during Mental Health Awareness week, we honour everyone navigating their own mental health journey 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #PsychedelicResearch #Psilocybin #DepressionResearch #MentalHealth

What happens when altered states meet questions of identity? Join us for an open and thoughtful exploration of how psychedelic experiences can intersect with gender identity and self-understanding. In a radical, yet pertinent conversation session, psychedelic researcher Rafaelle Lancelotta, will discuss psychedelics and gender identity through both personal stories, academic findings and considerations for an ever-evolving field of mental health. This will be also supportive space for curiosity and reflection from the audience. 🗓 Date: Wednesday 20th May ⏰ Time: 7:30–9:30pm 📍 Location: Online 🎟 Tickets & details: https://dandelion.events/e/n5emo 💬 What questions or thoughts do you have about psychedelics and identity?
