Starting in September, Iris Andres will hold a monthly Psychedelic Integration Circle in our gaialounge, alternating between German and English. Some people already know Iris from the Psychedelic Salon. She is a holistic integrative breath therapist, trauma therapist & facilitator for holotropic breathing.
We are delighted to welcome Iris and her group every second Thursday of the month, and wish her much success. In our psychedelic integration circles, participants will find a safe space to share their journey with others and find inspiration on how to post-process their experiences.
The first group will meet on September 14 from 18 – 21 h, this month in German. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 15 people. Doors open at 17 h. Please register in advance (see under events below).
If you wish, you can visit us in the gaialounge beforehand. We’ll be happy to have welcome you.
I have the pleasure of attending several conferences this fall and hopefully making many new contacts, whether in Elefsina/Eleusis later this month where the theme is “Mysteries of Transition: How to Change Your Mind to Change the World”, in Berkeley at the annual conference of the Women’s Visionary Council, or at the 3rd ALPS conference in Geneva – both in October. I will be happy to report on my experiences here again. In Berkeley I will also speak myself on the subject of Susi Ramstein, Albert Hofmann’s lab assistant, the first woman and the youngest person to try LSD. More about her on another occasion.
Wishing you a good start into a promising fall!
Yours
Susanne G. Seiler
P.S. You’ll find us at the gaialounge, Hochstrasse 70 (behind Basel’s SBB station, tram stop Peter Merian), every Thursday afternoon from 14 – 18 h. Welcome!
life is the only way
to get covered in leaves,
catch your breath on the sand,
rise on wings;
to be a dog,
or stroke its warm fur;
to tell pain
from everything it’s not;
to squeeze inside events,
dawdle in views,
to seek the least of all possible mistakes.
An extraordinary chance
to remember for a moment
a conversation held
with the lamp switched off;
and if only once
to stumble upon a stone,
end up soaked in one downpour or another,
mislay your keys in the grass;
and to follow a spark on the wind with your eyes;
and to keep on not knowing
something important.
