Description:

Where have you been? What have you seen? What did it mean? In the tradition of Terrence McKenna, we will get together and share our past voyages and impressions of the psychedelic experience. In the psychedelic state, to quote McKenna, "One hears and beholds a language of alien meaning that is conveying alien information that cannot be Englished. Being monkeys, when we encounter a translinguistic object, a kind of cognitive dissonance is set up in our hindbrain. We try to pour language over it and it sheds it like water off a duck's back." We will push the envelope of language to see if we can go ahead and English some of that alien information after all. Perhaps art, music or dance will play a part in expressing these otherwise inexpressible concepts. All are welcome, whether experienced with the psychedelic state or not. Please note: this is a discussion group only; illegal substances and activities are not welcome in our camp. Please respect our need to keep our camp safe and 100% legal. Thank you so much.
