A new renaissance is currently underway in scientific research into psychedelic substances.

In this talk, Dr David Luke - senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Greenwich, will explore the latest research into psychedelic substances:

- For their potential use in treating mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression and addiction

- As catalysts for genuine mystical experiences and spiritual orientation

- For how both mental health and mystical experience interact with psychedelics
