Entheogenesis Australis - 4 Day Outdoor Conference Gathering - Fri 6th to Mon 9th Nov 2009

 

The 2009 Entheogenesis Australis conference will be held over four days and will consist of a variety of lectures, discussions, workshops and performances. This year EGA will have over 20 lectures, 5 discussion panels and variety of on-site workshops. All this will be taking place over 4 days nestled in beautiful Strathbogie Ranges in north east Victoria Australia.

 

Headliner 1 - Bear (Owsley) Stanley

Headliner 2 - Robert Jesse

http://www.entheo.net/POP_Bob.htm

 

Bob Jesse is organizer of the Council on Spiritual Practices (csp.org/about), which aims to shift modernity's awareness and practices with respect to primary religious experience (csp.org/PRE). CSP also encourages people to imagine and develop social contexts to contain such experiences and help them yield lasting benefit.

 

Through CSP, Bob and his colleagues initiated a study, conducted at Johns Hopkins (http://csp.org/psilocybin/) and reported around the world, of the psychospiritual effects of psilocybin in healthy volunteers (csp.org/psilocybin). This expands the emphasis in hallucinogen research beyond the medical treatment of ill people to include the betterment of well people, contributing to a science of pro-social development.

 

On his home front, Bob is co-founder of a spiritual community formed around ecstatic dance. His formal training is in engineering and lives in San Francisco.

Entheogenesis Australis (EGA) is a not-for-profit association that exists to create a supportive environment that fosters mature, open discussion about psychoactive plants and chemicals. We seek to explore ways to assess societal impacts and examine the positive applications of plant-based psychoactives and empathogens.

 

Altered states of consciousness have long been a fundamental part of human culture, and as our world becomes increasingly fast-paced, alternative modes are becoming ever more significant and consciously explored.

The Entheogenesis Australis 2009 Symposium aims to address the issues relating to drug use/misuse from social, cultural and historical/traditional perspectives. EGA speakers will draw on the backgrounds of physiology, biology, pharmacology, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, botany and more to provide a more realistic context to the role drugs and altered states play in the modern world.

 

If you’ve ever asked yourself “has the ‘War on Drugs’ created more problems than it tried to solve?” or “is MDMA really a more dangerous drug than alcohol?” - then EGA is for you.

 

Entheogenesis Australis is a collection of thinkers from all walks of life, we come together to share knowledge about sacred plants, chemical alchemy and states of consciousness.

 

We hope you will join us in the trees for this exploration

Thanks for the heads up Ronny,

Please everyone take a camera/video or at least a Notetaker

Then Upload to the WonderfulWorldWeb. Com ... that would be most excellent

 

The best Psychadelic conference audio I have are Terence McKenna related and they are great , but wouldn't mind expanding on that collection ... especially with some more recent science and ideas (Good listening while out bush no doubt)

 

Anyhoo , To all those who DO make it ... ENjoy!
