OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for an online talk with Dr. Matthew Lowe, who will share insights from his groundbreaking research on ayahuasca ceremonies within the LGBTQIA+ community. This event will explore the unique experiences and transformative potential of plant medicine in fostering healing, self-discovery, and community connection for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Dr. Lowe’s work delves into the intersection of identity and ayahuasca, highlighting how these ceremonies can provide a safe and affirming space for personal and collective growth. He will discuss key findings from his research, the challenges and opportunities faced by LGBTQIA+ participants, and the broader implications for psychedelic healing.
