Darren will share his research that looks at the important historical and current events that have impacted and shaped the lives of African people in the diaspora. He will provide insight into some of traumatic experiences that we as the current generations inherit and how it affects us today.
Exploring some of the healing modalities accessible through rites of passage which include the use of entheogenic plants, Darren will highlight some ground breaking research that supports these activities as a way to start the healing process.
With the renaissance gaining momentum, how do we ensure that all people across the world, from all backgrounds, are represented at the table and consulted about the future applications of these psychedelic experiences?

Does Darren have an email address?
Wow! Thank you for this
Much respect Darren. Fantastic work you do with teens. Wonderful talk. Looking up the video you suggest now. Sounds very moving
This made my hair stand on end, sometimes gifts come when you least expect them. I had the pleasure of meeting Darren this summer, not knowing his active reaches for society and public standing for the wider connectivity – firstly i recognised a humble and kind human.
Keep up the great work bro!!
