A event held at The Jam Jar on Tuesday 28th May. The event starts at 19:00.
“There has always been a hidden pathway and secret ritual that brings forth the reunion…”
Psychedelics and Yoga are similar in the sense that both have been used for centuries to reach altered states of consciousness.
Together, Yoga & Psychedelics can take one on a journey that explores the power of the mind and the full potential of the human body.
Discover the Ancient African and psychedelic roots of Yoga and its forgotten philosophy. In this talk we will explore ancient mythologies that connect yoga, the entheogenic experience, the mythical Underworld and the ancient art of navigating the afterlife, and how this corresponds with the psychedelic experience coined "Ego Death".
You will be taken on a historical journey and look at the origins of these practices in ancient Africa, Mesopotamia and Europe and how they have become coded in several mythological entheogenic rites of passages throughout the ancient world in initiation ceremonies, body work practices and daily ritual.
Doors: 7pm
Talk Starts: 7:30pm
Location: The Jam Jar, Old Market
Tickets: £8 adv. / £10 door.

_‘On the surface everybody thought I had it all because I was popular, but deep down I felt empty.’ _
She went through a series of challenging experiences and life questions. Her journey led her to studying and sharing both modern and ancient spiritual practices. She is now sharing this knowledge and her experiences in an ‘urban sexy’ way for others, especially the young generation to experience self-realisation themselves.
