The Psychedelic Assembly

Once a month we channel our inner Ms. Frizzle (not hard) and host an Assembly Member Field Trip somewhere in NYC. 🚌

Next month we’re Field-Tripping at the Statue of Liberty (of 🗽 fame! 🙀)

Last Friday’s amazing talk with Benjamin De Loenen of ICEERS and Claude Guislain of Instituto Nixiwaka on the upcoming “World Ayahuasca Forurm”. 🐍🐆🌿

We’re very much a “Be Here Now” “In-Person-Moments” and “Direct Experience” focused organization. We’re also a very small team… thus most of our talks and panels go unrecorded.

But sometimes there’s a discussion SO powerful and important that I kick myself afterwards that it wasn’t filmed.

Last Friday’s talk was one such event. The World Ayahuasca Forum is going to be a truly extrodinary endeavor, facilitating cross-cultural dialogue and allyship in a way I’ve never seen anyone attempt before. Feeling so inspired and grateful to Claude and Benjamin for sharing their work with our NYC community. 🙏

We hope to be able to attend ourselves and witness a historical moment. Visit their website for more info and see you in Spain perhaps?

Join us in NYC on 6/5 for an author event on Ru Marshall’s new biography of a pivotal figure in 1960s psychedelic literature, Carlos Castaneda.🌵🐺🦂

American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda: - “A gripping exposé of deception, cult power, and the long shadow of Carlos Castaneda, the man behind the biggest literary hoax of the twentieth century.

Twenty years in the making, American Trickster: The Hidden Lives of Carlos Castaneda unravels the story of the secretive faux-anthropologist who pulled off one of the greatest literary hoaxes in modern history.

Both an investigation of the techniques employed by charismatic narcissists and a study of the cult dynamics that still shape American life, American Trickster defies conventional biography.”

Ru will be in conversation with author John Oakes. Event is in Midtown East at the Blue Building, doors open at 7pm, tix in bio!
