Expansion Seminar - Psychedelics & Elite Performance

  • Nemesis Coffee 555 Great Northern Way Vancouver, BC, V5T 1E1 Canada (map)

Join us for an illuminating discussion around psychedelics and elite performance.

About This Event:

The Flying Sage is excited to bring you yet another insightful and thought-provoking Expansion Seminar. This month we will be exploring the topic of psychedelics and elite performance. Most of the conversations around psychedelics today are focussed around healing and therapy. While this is a very important application for psychedelics, we know that the majority of people that can benefit from psychedelics might not necessarily have a mental health condition. Psychedelics are also powerful tools for enhancement. Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur or simply a healthy individual who wants to improve performance, psychedelics can be very beneficial.

  • Why would athletes or entrepreneurs use psychedelics? What are some specific use cases?

  • What are the unique qualities or attributes of psychedelics that make them particularly effective tools for enhancing performance in healthy individuals, and how do these effects differ from other enhancement methods?

  • In the context of improving performance, what should individuals consider when choosing the right type of psychedelic substance?

  • Are there any ethical considerations or potential risks associated with the use of psychedelics for performance enhancement?

  • What emerging research or trends are particularly promising with this application of psychedelics?

These are just a few of the types of questions we will be discussing during this event.

This event will be hosted at the beautiful Nemesis Coffee and ticket purchases include free coffee and delicious pastries. We will also be doing a special prize giveaway for those in attendance.

Come prepared to have your perceptions ignited and expanded as we explore this exciting and rapidly-evolving field. Register now to secure your spot at the forefront of the psychedelics revolution and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have.
