MOVIE: Neurons to Nirvana

 

Vancity Theatre 

1181 Seymour St, Vancouver, Planet Earth

April 29 | May 01 at 8.30 PM


"Writer, director and visual artist Oliver Hockenhull outlines the mounting peer-reviewed evidence that nonaddictive psychoactive substances (including ayahuasca, psilocybin, LSD and MDMA) can have profound healing effects when used in a safe, therapeutic setting. The benefits, say a conga line of clinicians, psychologists, neuroscientists and authors, extend from the treatment of alcoholism to the anxiety of terminal cancer patients, and beyond. This could have been a snorefest of talking heads in lesser hands, but through judicious editing and sublime visuals, the filmmaker succeeds with colourful advocacy for a new medical paradigm informed by "cognitive liberty" — the freedom to dictate one's own consciousness. "  

Geoff Olson, Vancouver Courier.

The Longer Version of Neurons to Nirvana is screening at the Vancity Theatre On Tuesday April 29th & Thursday May 1st! We are very grateful to have Psychologist and Psychedelic Therapist/Pioneer, Andrew Feldmar in attendance for the May 1st Show and available to engage the audience afterward.

bed and breakfast for MAPS staff????

Tuesday, April 1, 2014 | | 0 comments

Hi all,

As you know there will be a fundraiser for MAPS psychedelic research on April 22nd in Vancouver.  A number of MAPS USA staff will be coming to Vancouver to assist in this process.  As MAPS is always interested in being as cost efficient as possible they are looking for accommodation for a few nights around the dates of April 21 – 24.  If you (or someone you know) is willing and able to offer a bed (and warm welcome) to these great folks please reply to Virginia (virginia@maps.org) with the details.

THANKS!!!!

Cheers,

Mark Haden
