[Tronica]

Hi to all lovers of psychedelics and especially entheogens

Australian non-profit organisation Entheogenesis has an event coming up (2-4 December). EGA hosts excellent in-person conferences in Australia, but I'm posting about this here because they have a great streaming/international option for this year's conference. So, some of you may be interested in checking this offering out, not matter where you are based.

Note: EGA is a friendly organisation to Bluelight, and once we have updated our website, we will happily be listing them as one of our partner orgs.

Head to Garden States Website for more info and to purchase tickets.

(I'll let the organiser know about this thread so feel free to ask any questions here and we can get them answered)

Garden States 2022 is a hybrid conference, including keynote presenters David Holmgren, Dr Margaret Ross, Janet Laurence, Renee Harvey, Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Dr Alison Pouliot, Lynette Wallworth, Snu Voogelbreinder, and luminaries Douglas Rushkoff, Dennis McKenna Ph.D., Mark Pesce, The Seed SistAs, John Seed, and Keeper Trout who are streaming in.

Garden States Conferences are a community meeting point for plants and their custodians. These conferences are part of a not-for-profit initiative designed to explore the intersection of humankind and plants, including botany, gardening, conservation, sustainability, culture, art, altered states, spirituality, philosophy, harm reduction and politics.

Get your hands dirty and learn how to grow and share ethnobotanical plants from the experts. Participate in citizen science and meet like-minded botanical folk from across Australia.

Garden States 2022 is a hybrid conference that takes place over three full days. There are two main ticket types with some variations and discount options. Attendees may choose a 'Streaming Ticket' or an 'In-person Ticket'. Friday the 2nd of December 2022 will be entirely online for all attendees, while Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th December will include a community gathering for all in-person attendees, broadcast online for those with streaming tickets and unable to attend in person. All ticket holders will receive a copy of the 2022 conference Journal and after access to the recorded stream to rewatch for four months after the event.

The in-person conference gathering will be composed of around thirty lectures, twelve workshops and five discussion panels that have been curated to help you along the journey to plant seeds for earth, body, and mind.

Garden States 2022 will offer much more than even our most enthusiastic ethnobotanical friends could have hoped. With that in mind, we hope to see you all at this extraordinary event and wish you, your family, and your communities the best over the coming months.
