The Talk
Psychedelic Futures &
Synthetic Realities
Daniel Pinchbeck helped instigate the current psychedelic renaissance with his first book, Breaking Open the Head (2002). His second book, Quetzalcoatl Returns, explored the prophetic ideas of ancient and indigenous cultures of North America, Mexico, India, and the archetype of Apocalypse found in the Western monotheisms. We find ourselves in a time of accelerating transformation, ecologically and technologically, where reality becomes increasingly eerie and hallucinatory. How do we attain a coherent understanding of our time? What tools and ideas can help us navigate this strange new terrain, where Artificial Intelligence threatens to take away millions of jobs while the ecological crisis intensifies? How could our civilisation heal its materialist worldview and change its course?
The Journey
Attune Sound Journey
We start our evening with Soneiro’s new sonic immersion: Attune.
A guided journey through the physical, emotional and subtle body, emerging from musical textures that fuse ancestral sounds and "neuro-sonic" technology to re-align, re-charge, and re-enchant. We leave the everyday consciousness with masterfully played instrumentation, ethereal vocals, and Theta / Delta wave binaural frequencies guiding us into extended states of awareness.
Our instruments and sonic pathways include shamanic tools, drums, electric guitar, violin, ethereal vocals and brainwave entrainment software.
Through breath, sound and silence we open a field of resonance for this evening together.

Publications by Daniel pinchbeck
"To realize the latent potential of our digital communications networks, we would build decentralized, peer-to-peer systems designed to be perpetually evolving, supporting social coordination, making easy and hyper-efficient to share skills and resources. Politically, we would establish something like a functional anarchy, based on nonviolent Satyagraha principles, to supersede the current system of military and corporate control. New social technologies would train people to make effective decisions together, based on consensus methods as well as ongoing referendums."
