Bicycle Day Book Club

New York, New York
$6.63 - $11.90 (includes all fees)

REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED

This month we honor the legacy of LSD culture and spirituality that started with Dr. Albert Hofmann and his fateful bicycle ride after becoming the first human being to intentionally ingest the mind altering drug.

We’re kicking things off with Bicycle Day Book Club!

Join Psychedelic Sangha as we collectively read and virtually discuss Albert Hofmann’s own, LSD My Problem Child: Reflections on Sacred Drugs, Mysticism and Science (1979).

Book club is FREE.

Register below and we'll send you details about our online book club Gathering (slated for the end of the month) when we’ll meet remotely for a group discussion about the book, as well as our virtual event on Bicycle Day (April 19th) with author and Psychedelic Sangha co-founder Erik Davis (High Weirdness, Techgnosis).

We welcome donations and we invite you to become a member of Psychedelic Sangha.

For just $3 a month you can help support our programing. You’ll not only be joining a community of like-minded Misfit Seekers, but you’ll have special access to all events.

“This is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful father, organic chemist Albert Hofmann. He traces LSD's path from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational drug sparking hysteria and prohibition. We follow Dr. Hofmann's trek across Mexico to discover sacred plants related to LSD, and listen in as he corresponds with other notable figures about his remarkable discovery. Underlying it all is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that mystical experience may be our planet's best hope for survival. Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously, such experiences help us to comprehend;the wonder, the mystery of the divine in the microcosm of the atom, in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants, in the body and soul of people. More than sixty years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's problem child, his vision of its true potential is more relevant, and more needed, than ever.”
