Are you struggling with feelings of confusion, overwhelm, or apathy as the polycrisis deepens? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Join us for an engaging community salon exploring the metacrisis—the effect of the polycrisis on our shared ways of thinking and being. Together we’ll explore strategies for how to better human in these turbulent times. This evening features three presenters, each offering a 15-minute talk followed by Q&A. Afterward, we’ll break into smaller groups for thoughtful discussions and meaningful connections. 🎤 Featured Speakers Liana Sananda Gillooly Cofounder of North Star, a nonprofit bringing ethics and integrity into the emerging psychedelic industry.
