Garden States 2021: Ethnobotany, Conservation and Psychedelics
Entheogenesis Australis (EGA), presents Garden States webcast: A forum cultivating ethnobotanical plants, research, knowledge and community. All full day of webcast programing as a special fundraiser event – Sunday 5th December 2021
The Garden States webcast fundraiser is a not-for-profit initiative, designed by EGA to encourage community building around medicinal plants, research, and psychedelic culture.
Sunday 5 December 2021 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM (UTC+11) AEDT
Our program is designed to explore relationships between humankind and plants, including gardening, conservation, sustainability, culture, art, altered states and psychedelic culture.
We have had to move the original conference planned for the first December weekend to next year, following continuing restrictions on larger social gatherings due to COVID-19. As we have all put time aside and are so sorely needing the ethnobotanical community to connect, we are hosting this special all-day webcast in lieu of the physical Garden States conference.
We have curated content from a selection of the finest psychedelic and botanical minds from the international and local entheogenic communities. We will also run the infamous EGA raffle on the day, giving our audience chance to a win a variety of rare and valuablemagical plant memoribilia.
The presenters and contributors are donating their valuable time and energy to show support for EGA. We hope you will also consider supporting us and being part of this important day of ethnobotanical knowledge sharing. All ticket holders will be able to access the lecture and panel content for four weeks after the event, so if you miss something on the day you can go back and catch it later.
This day-long forum will be made up of lectures and discussion panels consisting of both live and prerecorded elements. Through this program, the EGA team will help you along the journey to plant seeds for earth, body, and mind.
