Monad Fungi by Juan Villegas
Can Mushrooms Save Us? An evening of candid conversation, humor, and potentially a reality check
Is the psychedelic movement going to heal our collective trauma, solve the mental health crisis, and bring about world peace—or is it just getting weirder, louder, and more commercialized?
On what would have been Timothy Leary’s 106th birthday, we’re hosting an unfiltered look at the past, present, and chaotic future of mind expansion.
Surrounded by textiles and Indigenous entheogenic art from Shipibo-Conibo, Kogi, and Wixáritari communities, our panel dives into the messy intersection of modern medicine, counterculture history, and real-world policy.
Featuring-
Zach Leary (Psychedelics Then and Now, Your Extraordinary Mind) on harm reduction, modern facilitation, and carrying a legacy into 21st-century practice.
Dennis Walker (Mycopreneur) bringing sharp satire and zero fluff to the bizarre business and internet culture of the mushroom boom.
Mary Olivar (Texans for Greater Mental Health) on the reality of expanding mental health options and policy reform right here in Texas.
Come for the honest conversation, stay for the jokes, and leave with a murky picture of whether drugs are actually going to save us—or if we have to do some of the heavy lifting ourselves.
