“Chacruna’s course is exactly what is needed in today’s “Psychedelic Renaissance”. Over 10 weeks, we dove into topics that must be at the heart of the psychedelic movement, such as the centring of Indigenous voices, decolonization, anti-racism, intersectionality, and more. I deeply believe that the knowledge shared in this course is crucial if we seek a renaissance rooted in reciprocity and justice for all people and beings affected. I feel very grateful to have been able to learn from such a diverse, experienced, and wise group of speakers. I could not recommend this class more!”
Jasmine Cumetti, M.Sc.Students will be provided with the recorded professor lectures a week in advance of the discussion class which they will watch on their own time. The 1.5hr Zoom meetings included in the schedule in the syllabus will consist of q+a/discussion with the students and professor. Coming into the discussion classes, students are expected to have watched the recordings and read the readings which are listed in the syllabus.
We ask that each student present at least 80% of participation throughout the course, whether it be by having your camera on for the whole class, actively listening, taking notes, providing questions/comments, etc. We also ask that each student read the readings for each class before they take place.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions to each professor in each of the discussion classes. The live 1.5 hour Q&A discussion part of the classes are an essential focus of the courses, with a very intimate and safe-space environment to explore any questions that might arise.
