Following a two day seminar entitled Researching Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies in Patients with Serious Illness: Defining a Path Forward hosted by the Radcliffe Institute for the Advanced Study at Harvard University,
There will be a screening of Fantastic Fungi for health care professionals. The film takes you into the world of mycelium and the mushrooms and their amazing intelligence and ability to partner with us on some of the most challenging issues we are currently facing, including medical issues.
Doors will open at 6pm to give people an opportunity to network with professionals involved and /or interested in the psychedelic-assisted therapies and research field.
Top researchers and leaders from this area of research, including Charles Grob, Mary Cosimano and Anthony Bossis, as well as prior participants in psychedelic studies, will participate in a post screening Q&A.
Please share this information widely within the medical field as we are interested in holding a large conversation about the use of psychedelics and to discover opportunities for collaborations.
This screening is sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute for the Advanced Study at Harvard University, Boston Psychedelic Research Group (BPRG) and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. Exhibits will be there for your further edification.

When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration, and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world.
Fantastic Fungi, directed by Louie Schwartzberg, is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet.
