See you tonight, Berkeley! @BerkeleyAlembic @bdamer @MGirnNeuro Register here: eventbrite.com/e/bruce-damer-…
I will be conducting a Reddit AMA this Friday, 1-3 pm PST, which means I’ll answer questions from the subreddit r/IAmA. I expect to be fielding user-submitted questions on LSD blotter, psychedelic media, and anything under the orange sunshine.
Tonight's Deconstructing Yourself with @OortCloudAtlas will be *livestreamed* - we'll watch it together at Alembic on the big screen and have time after for tea & chatting (and maybe some surprises) as usual. See you tonight at 6:30 as usual at Alembic!
We love a list of somatic, relational, and emotional containers held by women, even more if it features @LauraVWard!

Remember Alembic denizens near & far, there is NO meditation with @OortCloudAtlas tonight. Instead of Deconstructing Yourself, perhaps you could construct a nice dinner for your loved ones. We'll see you right back here, next week.
Had a great time last night at @BerkeleyAlembic launching my Blotter book with Mark McCloud. Orders are still held up, but people were very pleased so just be patient. Its the hour before coming up...

"Clarity and Creativity in a Time of Mystery." I have tons of respect for Jeff Leifer, who will be leading this workshop at @BerkeleyAlembic this Sunday: a mix of modalities and interactions to address the crisis within and without. No band-aids here. eventbrite.com/e/clarity-and-…

I had a great time talking with Erik Davis (@erik_davis) last night at The Alembic (@BerkeleyAlembic). The crowd and discussion were both great—no small feat for a philosophical event hosted on a Friday night in the Bay. I’m posting below the write-up for my talk. If you’ve…

Hail the wormwood starlette. Please seek out her extraordinary art. I love "art witches" as a category--so many marvelous ones to speak of!
Remembering Marjorie Cameron, #botd in 1922. Artist, poet, actress, and occultist, she appeared in several films including Night Tide, The Wormwood Star, and Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. There is an entry for her (and other art witches) in my forthcoming book Witches.

Just listened to @AE_Robbert talk and dialogue w/ @erik_davis. Such an important convo. I particularly liked the critique of the idea that we can arbitrarily change ourselves without consequences, and I oddly now want to see a whole talk just on demons. youtube.com/live/J-lbyNK2r…
