Come join the Manchester Psychedelic Community for an evening of relaxed socialising, food and good conversation. Christian from Active Wellness will also be hosting a winter solstice ritual for those wishing to mark the day.

There is no charge to attend the events but you will still need a ticket. The event is ticketed for fire regulations only (the venue has a maximum capacity).

Instead of an entry fee, we are asking for donations to cover our costs. These donations help us sustain the community events.

Please only donate what you can afford and if you can't afford anything, that's ok too. If you want food, please feel free to buy a ticket or email us if you can't afford one and we'll help where we can.

About the event

Alongside socialising, a number of things will be happening on the night:

5.50pm - Solstice Ritual - Honouring the natural cycles of death and rebirth, of the shadow, the divine Feminine.

On this auspicious day we can really anchor our intentions deep into the dream time.

We will build a Pagamento (a traditional Inca tribal earth payment to the spirits ancestors and elementals) of Manchester, with our intentions and prayers for ourselves and the collective.

Please bring (as a suggestion) a few grains, or nuts, or dried fruit, or a small piece of chocolate, or a crystal, or flower, or photo, a few drops of essential oil can go into the ‘parcel’ or anything small that symbolises you or your intention. (There will be a selection of offerings at the centre for you to give in case you don’t come with anything.)

Come with an open heart and get ready to see your intentions manifest.

Please arrive by 5.50pm to be seated ready for a 6pm start. We will need the full hour.

6.30pm onwards - Food - a wonderful vegan, gluten free supper will be prepared at the Active Wellness Centre Cafe.

Support - an integration circle for those needing peer-to-peer support will be facilitated by a trained space holder. Please note that whilst the circle can feel therapeutic, it is not group therapy.

About the community

Our get togethers are relaxed occasions where lovely people meet and share their experiences of the psychedelic world (if they want to - no pressure). Even if you have no experience with psychedelics, you are still very welcome. If you're nervous, you're in good company - most of us are introverts and the society is extremely welcoming.

Accessibility

This venue does not currently have accessible toilet facilities and they are seeking to change this in the coming months. Until then, we are seeking other spaces to host events to ensure as many as possible can attend.

Disclaimer

Whilst we'll talk a lot about psychedelics, we ask that you don't bring any with you to the meet-ups, nor solicit them from members. It's worth remembering that possession of these substances remains illegal in the UK and we want to make sure everyone who comes along feels safe doing so.
