Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging Saturday, July 11 @ 2 PM EDT

This was the overwhelming message author Abbie Rosner heard from older psychonauts interviewed for her newly released book, Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging. This special BPS event was created to explore this question more fully and hear from elders deeply immersed in the science and service of psychedelics.

Come join this unique offering, whether you are an older adult or will become one someday... Books will be available for purchase and signing.
