READINGS & TALKS
Psychedelic Salon with April Pride
Town Hall’s new series, Psychedelic Salon, is a monthly panel that intends to explore how psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA “are reshaping the mental health landscape.” Seeing as how the only experience many Americans have with ketamine therapy is watching that scene of Adrianna from Real Housewives of Miami getting high as a kite and then uncontrollably bawling her eyes out and screaming for her dead dad in what looked like a med-spa, it’s probably a good conversation to have! (Just me?) For the first installment, host April Pride will talk to Stranger founder Tim Keck and artist and photographer Rachel Demy about “the role of psychedelics in Seattle’s countercultural movements and how they influence artistic expression.” It should be a fascinating conversation, even for an uncool, stone-cold-sober person like me.
