Psychedelic Society Vienna

DA, we are not time travelling to 2023 - the screening takes place on the 2nd of February in 2024 😎🫶

Dear Community, it is time again to for a movie night at our homebase! „What happens when you administer psilocybin to experienced zen meditators? A neuroscientist and a zen master carry out a double-blind experiment on a sphinxlike mountain in Switzerland. Their goal: to examine the nature of consciousness.“ https://descendingthemountain.org/synopsis-trailer/ 🍄 The event will take place on January 28th in our Homebase, Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna (Entrance is inbetween Billa and Bipa) 🍄 Doors are open at 6:30 pm - come early to secure the best seats 🍄 Screening Starts at 7pm 🍄 Entry 5€*/ Members free *(if money is the only reason you can not come, let us know and we will find a way) So lovely people, bring your friends and let's watch this movie together. We'll prepare some bretzels, popcorn and drinks. After the movie we open the space to discuss ideas attained from the film, followed by some music. So feel free to stay and connect to some likeminded people. See you there! PSV

We are thrilled to share additional dates for our upcoming Breathwork Sessions - January 18th, February 8th, and February 22nd - providing you with an opportunity to dive into Breathwork as a tool for expanding your consciousness. In this workshop, you will be guided through a one-hour breathing session accompanied by evocative music. We will use connected and cyclical deep breathing, which puts the nervous system in an alert state and leads to a heightened awareness of your body and emotions. This can result in a meditative experience, lead to a blissful state, or bring up repressed and buried emotions. By allowing yourself to feel everything that wants to come up while simultaneously staying with the breath, you can dissolve emotional blockages and free yourself of habitual thought patterns. (Please read the contra-indications below) Following the breathing session, we will gather and allow everyone to share their experiences within a safe space. This fosters a deeper connection among the participants and supports the process of integration. The evenings will be held in English unless everyone understands German. Doors open: 18:30 / Start 19:00 Duration approx. 1,5h Fee: 15€* (12€ for PSV members) Become a member: ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna RAUM ( https://raum.cc/) Hollandstraße 7 1020 Wien Registration is required.

We’re ready for youuu 😻😻😻 PSV Homebase. Sagedergasse 18, 1120 - Entry between Billa & Bipa

Dear Community, as we reflect on the past year since unveiling our new venue and hosting numerous events, we're thrilled to invite you to a celebration of the incredible journey we've experienced together. Navigating the challenges of the Corona-Pandemic, we encountered difficulties in uniting the community. Yet, as a collective, we persevered, recognizing the heightened importance of our mission—to establish a space where like-minded individuals meet, connect, and exchange information about expanded states of consciousness. Securing a homebase, we've successfully organized nine events there, warmly welcoming both familiar faces and new friends. None of this would have been possible without you—the incredible individuals supporting us, attending our events, and, of course, the dedicated core team of the PSV, working tirelessly on a voluntary basis. Thank you! At 19:00, we kick off the evening with a brief retrospective of our accomplishments over the past year, offering insights into where the PSV stands today and providing a glimpse into our future journey. Following this, we'll delve into the realm of psychedelics, sharing noteworthy updates on scientific and political developments around the globe. After the official program, join us for a joyous celebration! Raise your glasses at our bar, where you can enjoy some Punsch or your beverage of choice. Connect with like-minded individuals, engage in stimulating conversations, and dance to the beats provided by our DJs who will keep the night alive with predominantly electronic music. While we'll have some snacks available, we recommend having dinner beforehand. Whether you're a longtime supporter or a newcomer, we invite you to spend the night with us and become an integral part of the PSV community! Doors open at 18:30 / Event starts at 19:00 Entry is free, donations are welcome. Become a member: ko-fi.com/psychedelicsocietyvienna Looking forward to celebrating with you!

Dear Community, we are excited to announce our first official workshop on the 30th of November, which offers hands-on experience in contrast to our more intellectual talks. In addition to psychedelic substances, there are many ways of altering your brain chemistry to induce an expanded state of consciousness. One of the most powerful and accessible means is breathwork. In this workshop, you will be guided through a one-hour breathing session accompanied by evocative music. We will use connected and cyclical deep breathing, which puts the nervous system in an alert state and leads to a heightened awareness of your body and emotions. This can result in a meditative experience, lead to a blissful state, or bring up repressed and buried emotions. By allowing yourself to feel everything that wants to come up while simultaneously staying with the breath, you can dissolve emotional blockages and free yourself of habitual thought patterns.

We see you this Saturday in our Homebase 💜 Much love, your PSV

What does dance have to do with altered states of consciousness? The human body is the vehicle for expressing ourselves in this world, used in a spontaneous way it can induce a flow state, free us of our overthinking mind, and expand our state of consciousness. Matan Levkowich, founder of the Movement Lab, will join us on November 18th to explore the potential of dance and bodily awareness as a gateway to another state of being, where body and mind are unified and whole. This evening will begin with a dance performance to give us a taste of what expressive movement is all about, followed by a more cognitive perspective, as Matan will be holding a presentation, weaving together the connection between contemporary dance and changes in the perception of reality. To close we will get the opportunity to participate in a (optional) guided dance experience and embody the exploration of the previously shared concepts on a physical level. Once the cycle closes, our space will remain open for you to stay, make yourselves at home, enjoy some tee and snacks, and connect to like-minded people. We are looking forward to immersing ourselves in the world of movement and flow. Much love your PSV ✨When? 18th of November 2023 | Doors open 18:00 / Start 18:30 (the duration of the Presentation will be approximately 90min) ✨Where?

Dear Community, Just like in a psychedelic experience, the display of colours in autumn can be mesmerizing. On Thursday, the 26th of October, we want to go on a hike to explore what the season has to offer and connect with all of you who want to join.

Dear Community, just a kindly reminder about our Event tomorrow- Sunday the 8th of October focusing on the intersection of Psychedelics & Neurodiversity.

Dear community, We’ve joined forces with the Psychedelic Society of Sweden (Psychedeliska Sällskapet) and got the opportunity to stream their Webinar “Psychedelics + Neurodiversity” presented by Aaron Orsini live at our Homebase. “Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits. The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)” (Baumer & Frueh, 2021) but also incorporates conditions like Down syndrome or ADHD. In this webinar Aaron will talk about the benefits of psychedelics for neurodiverse individuals and will also outline their potential risks. After the talk there will be a Q&A where will collect questions from the audience present and submit them to Aaron. Once the stream ends there will be plenty of time to discuss our impressions of the talk and connect to likeminded people. Join us on ✨Sunday 8th of October at ✨Sagedergasse 18, 1120 Vienna, to watch, discuss and enjoy this livestream together. ✨Doors open 18:00 / Stream starts at 18:30 ✨Entry 5€*/ Members free *(If money is the only reason you cannot come, just let us know at the entry and we will find a way!)

The online Webinar price is 7€ and you can buy the tickets here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/psykedeliskasllskapet/1012688 //About Aaron Orsini is an autistic psychedelic educator, author and researcher.
