On Thursday, December 8, the Psychedelic Salon organized by Susanne G. Seiler will take place at Cabaret Voltaire.
The event includes a lecture by Helena Aicher, PhD candidate in psychology at the University of Zurich, entitled: Ayahuasca and analogues. Psychedelic research at the University of Zurich.

No drugs are taken, but the state of psychedelic research is being discussed. Already the Dadaists were interested in the role of the unconscious and consciousness-expanding substances. In recent years, the topic of psychedelics has met with great interest in society, in the arts, and in science – we are experiencing a psychedelic renaissance (also in conventional medicine). Education and exchange about the human constitution and the effects of substances must be given space.
