Please join us in welcoming Dr. Stanton Marlan to Cleveland to share his personal and professional experience with psychedelics. In this lecture Dr. Marlan will explore how psychedelic experiences can lead to both terrifying darkness and awe-inspiring insight. Psychedelic journeys often involve a breakdown of the ego, offering the chance to see oneself and life in a completely new way.
We'll delve into the balance between chaos and clarity, fear and wonder, and the question of whether these profound experiences can be integrated into everyday life or if they fundamentally transform the soul. Dr. Marlan will draw from his early experiences with Timothy Leary as well as Jung’s Red Book and will share reflections on a lifelong journey to make sense of these powerful encounters.
