Get ready for a mind-expanding trip—no, not that kind! The fourth annual Entheofest is landing at the University of Michigan on Sept. 22, celebrating all things psychedelic (plants and fungi, that is). This shroom-tastic event marks the decriminalization of magical plants in Ann Arbor, featuring big-name speakers like Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit and state Sen. Jeff Irwin.
But hold your horses—no one’s selling psychedelics here. Organizers are all about education, not transactions. Thanks to UM’s Student Association for Psychedelic Studies, you can expect a blend of activism, art, music, and drug policy reform shenanigans.
The speaker lineup is enough to make you trip over your excitement, featuring author William Leonard Pickard and UM researcher Kevin Boehnke. The festival runs from 1:11-4:20 p.m.—yes, you read that right—with early bird activities like yoga at 10 a.m. and a “sound bath” at 11 a.m. (rubber duckies not required). Speeches kick off at the very precise time of 1:11 p.m. and culminate in a performance by the Tamerrian Institute.
And if that’s not enough to tickle your psychedelic fancy, there’s a free afterparty at the Rabbit Hole bar with live music. Dive into the full details at Entheofest.org and prepare for a groovy day.
