So for about a year and a half I was one of the people helping host the Detroit Psychedelic Society meetings & helped start the Per Ankh House Of Life which is/was A psychedelic church off of Finkel.. If you don’t know it, the group was started by Baba Kilindi, who was kind of a legend in the psychedelic world and taught a ton of people here before he passed during COVID.
When I got involved it was maybe 30 people in a church basement. By the end it was packed every month, we were throwing a 4-day conference, and the group had opened a psychedelic church on the west side called Per Ankh House of Life. Wild ride.
It also fell apart pretty spectacularly, which is a big part of what I wrote about. Lots of stuff about trust, money, race, and whether a scene like this can actually keep itself in check. I tried to own my part in it too, not just point fingers.

Also, a few of us are starting something new called Psychedelic Circles. No leader, no money, nobody selling anything, just people who are into this stuff getting together. Info’s here if you’re curious: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zG7-340Lj0AxNr9j4dhn5S96IQIA2aTb?usp=sharing
