About this event
The Psychedelic Assembly, in partnership with Psychedelics for Climate Action (PSYCA), invites you to a thought-provoking evening on Monday, February 24, to explore how inner & outer resilience, cutting-edge solutions, & climate action can shape New York City's future.
As a coastal metropolis, NYC faces increasing climate threats-from rising sea levels to brushfires. In the wake of disasters like those in Los Angeles, we need bold, outside-the-box approaches to adaptation, mitigation, & resilience. Just as psychedelics expand consciousness, we'll explore how expanded perspectives can unlock creative, systemic & conscious solutions for climate action.
This panel brings together people NYC representatives, climate technologists, & conscious leaders to discuss:
NYC's unique climate vulnerabilities & how we can adapt
Regenerative, conscious, & creative solutions that challenge conventional thinking
How individuals & communities can take action to build climate resilience, both externally & internally
Join us for a conversation that goes beyond the mainstream, tapping into the creativity, interconnectedness, & action-oriented mindset needed to tackle the climate crisis. Learn how you can get involved & take climate action to support these efforts.
*PSYCA will donate proceeds from tickets to Mutual Aid LA.
