The Future of Psychdelic Science
About the project
For our inaugural salon in Los Angeles, we set out to create an intellectual house party — a casual, inviting space for people to explore big and important ideas through art, music, food, and good conversation. In attendance were roughly 100 people from across science, academia, tech, wellness, arts, and culture. Talented filmmakers, scientists, choreographers, art curators, psychedelic therapists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs, activists, and more.

We kicked off the evening with an immersive art installation designed to elevate consciousness through light and sound.
Guests had the opportunity to explore Chromasonic's mind-expanding Satellite One installation, an immersive piece that turns light into sound and sound into light to create an unique, expanded state of awareness and connection — sort of a psychedelic experience through art.
The experience was created by artists Johannes Girardoni, Orpheo McCord, and Joel Shearer and guests had a chance to hear from some of the founding team about their exciting work.
During the cocktail hour guests had a chance to experience the exhibit in groups of eight and mingle with others guests — all while enjoying the musical stylings of Michael Donte, the brains behind Black House Radio, who DJ'ed along with fellow LA-based DJ BODII.
From there we sat down with Robin Carhart-Harris, a leading scientist to learn about the latest research and where this psychedelic renaissance is headed.
Robin is the Ralph Metzner Distinguished Professorship in Neurology and Psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco. Before that he was at Imperial College London where he founded one of the world’s first psychedelic research centers. He is a leader in the field and his work, which has included studies with LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and DMT, is widely cited.
