Aha! The New Science of Psychedelics

Past event
Jul 21, 2019, 10 AM to 1 PM

Join us this Sunday, July 21 at 10am at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Washington.

What better summer reading than Michael Pollan's new book, "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression and Transcendence." Psychedelics or entheogens have been used in religious contexts by shamans, healers and religious leaders from time immemorial. What can we glean from the practices of the ancient sages and from current and cutting-edge research? And why are we talking about this at church? Join us for an exploration of these challenging questions. Small Group Discussion led by M'ellen following lunch from ~ noon to 1pm.

This Sunday we welcome Rev. Dr. M'ellen Kennedy to the pulpit! She is a Sufi minister as well as as Unitarian Universalist minister. For 11 years M'ellen served as consulting minister to the Washington UU Congregation. She has the honor of serving the Springfield UU Meetinghouse in Vermont. She is also cofounder of the Small Group Ministry Network and does work nationally on countering Islamophobia.

Located on VT RT 110 in Washington, the UU Congregation is a lay led, summer only congregation open to folks from all walks of life and all ages! We provide childcare and share a potluck out on the lawn following the service. Hope to see you there!
