UPCOMING EVENTS
Free public livestream from The Canadian Psychedelic Summit: An Evening with Paul Stamets
August 7, 2022, 8:00 - 10:00 pm PT
As part of the inaugural Canadian Psychedelic Summit, MAPS Canada and Hollyhock are honoured to present a free livestream with Paul Stamets, speaking on psilocybin and neurogenesis.
With the increasing interest in microdosing, what are the implications for age-related neuropathies or neurogenerative diseases? Paul will present compelling evidence that microdosing stacked with other substances may improve neurological health.
Paul Stamets, a speaker, author, mycologist, medical researcher and entrepreneur, is considered an intellectual and industry leader in fungi: habitat, medicinal use, and production. He lectures extensively to deepen the understanding and respect for the organisms that literally exist under every footstep taken on this path of life. His presentations cover a range of mushroom species and research showing how mushrooms can help the health of people and the planet. His central premise is that habitats have immune systems, just like people, and mushrooms are cellular bridges between the two. Our close evolutionary relationship to fungi can be the basis for novel pairings in the microbiome that lead to greater sustainability and immune enhancement.
