"Psychedelics & Medicine" is May's topic for the Living Well Discussion Group, co-hosted by the Chelsea Public Library and SafeArt, on Monday, May 22nd from 5-6 pm. Stop by the library to pick up a copy of Michael Pollan's incredible book, "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence" (2018). Also available in large print & CD audiobook. As always, you don't have to read the whole book to join us at the library for the discussion! No preparation necessary to attend!
