Transformations of Consciousness in a Polarised World:
Ethnographic Inquiries into Psychedelics
As part of the upcoming EASA Conference in Poznań, this panel explores how psychedelic substances transform consciousness and actualise experiences of belonging, healing, and spirituality in our fractured world.
We welcome ethnographic, sociological, and interdisciplinary contributions that analyse: 
Emerging practices in naturalistic contexts The tension between the “secular” and the “sacred” Global circulation and cultural appropriation of plant medicines The intersection of therapeutic discourses and spirituality, among others.
