SUMMARY:INN Prague: Alternative Housing Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:🏘️🤯❓ \nThe housing market is difficult – should you rent or buy? Or maybe there are other options?  \nTogether with labor historian Bolek Šmejkal from Charles University and Teresa Rucińska from the Větev Community we will take a look at modern and historical alternatives to the usual modes of living.  \nThis month’s public meeting is hosted by the INN Migrants Group.  \n🗣️ It will be held in English with Czech translation available on demand. \n==CZ== \n🏘️🤯❓\nBydlení je dnes obtížné téma – měli byste si pronajmout byt\, nebo si ho koupit? Nebo existují i jiné možnosti? \nSpolečně s historikem práce Bolkem Šmejkalem z Univerzity Karlovy a Teresou Rucińskou z komunity Větev se podíváme na moderní i historické alternativy k běžným způsobům bydlení. \nVeřejné setkání tohoto měsíce pořádá Migrantská skupina INN.  \n🗣️ Setkání proběhne v angličtině\, s možností tlumočení do češtiny na vyžádání.

SUMMARY:The Eleusinian Mysteries and the Psychedelic Hypothesis of Kykeon
DESCRIPTION:For nearly two millennia\, initiates travelled to Eleusis to participate in the Mysteries of Demeter and Persephone\, one of the most enduring initiatory traditions of the ancient Mediterranean. The sacrament was kykeon\, a ritual drink whose composition and possible role in the initiatory experience have remained the subject of fascination and debate. \nCould the kykeon have contained psychoactive compounds derived from ergot? And could such a preparation have contributed to the profound experiences described by the initiates? Drawing on ancient sources\, archaeology\, chemistry and contemporary psychedelic science\, this talk examines the evidence behind the psychedelic hypothesis of Eleusis\, as well as the questions that remain unresolved. \nYet even if the pharmacological mystery of the kykeon could be solved\, would the molecule alone explain the Mysteries? Perhaps the more interesting question is not only what was in the cup\, but what transformed the initiate. \nBio:\nIsis Rita Anzel Koutrouli is a preclinical researcher at the Psychedelic Research Center of the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ) in Prague and a final-year PhD candidate in Neurosciences at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine\, Charles University\, under the supervision of Dr. Tomáš Páleníček. Her research focuses on the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances\, in preclinical models of substance use disorders\, combining behavioral pharmacology with molecular approaches.\nIsis is also one of the coordinators of the uniMIND Prague psychedelic community and academic journal club\, which is co-hosting this event.

SUMMARY:Games Studies Circle
DESCRIPTION:Mario is Mario is Mario is you. \nLearning games is sometimes notoriously fiddly. That is why harder games rely upon players’ knowledge of simpler games. This arguably goes so far as to produce a certain type of a person\, the — dreaded and allegedly perpetually angered — gamer. Ultimately\, we might find that not everyone feels at home when playing games. \nVideogames seem to be the most reliant upon pre-grown gamers. But is there an analogous construct in other types of games? Is it desirable to have alternatives to the gamer type? What does the person need to know and be able to do to engage with different types of games? How does the playing/gaming affect those engaging in it? We will be exploring potential ways of answering all these questions. \nOur discussion will be centred around the fourth chapter of Stephanie Boluk’s and Patrick LeMieux’ Metagaming: Playing\, Competing\, Spectating\, Cheating\, Trading\, Making\, and Breaking Videogames. We will present the material for the discussion but you are welcome to read the chapter beforehand. \nLocation: Nerd Alert\, Bulharská 924/26 101 00 Praha 10 – Vršovice

SUMMARY:Metaphysics\, Philosophy & Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-first century psychedelic therapy is developing at a fast pace. Yet much of psychedelic experience is untouched by therapists as they have no training in metaphysics: the study of reality in terms of concepts relating to both matter and mind\, and more. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has recently endorsed the need for metaphysics in psychedelic therapy\, citing the work of the speaker – not only to fathom the nature of such experiences\, but also to uncover possible metaphysical biases of the therapist that could have an effect upon practice. To integrate psychedelic-induced metaphysical experiences requires recourse to metaphysics. In this talk\, Dr Sjöstedt-Hughes will offer an outline of what this means and how it may be applied. \nBio \nDr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes is a Philosopher of Mind and Metaphysics who specializes in fields pertaining to panpsychism\, pantheism\, idealism\, mental causation\, and altered states of consciousness. Peter is a lecturer at The University of Exeter where he is a founder of EPIC – the Exeter Psychedelic Interdisciplinary Centre – and developer of its postgraduate courses in Psychedelics: Mind\, Medicine\, and Culture. He is co-director of Europe’s largest psychedelics conference\, Breaking Convention\, and the author of Noumenautics (2015)\, Modes of Sentience (2021)\, co-editor and contributor of Philosophy and Psychedelics(2022)\, Breaking Convention: Musings and Meditations on Psychedelia (2025)\, and author of Bloomsbury’s forthcoming book\,The Psychedelics Manual: Metaphysics and Meaning\, alongside numerous articles. As well as the TEDx Talker on ‘psychedelics and consciousness’\, and speaker on the BBC’s show ‘The Trip’\, Peter is an inspiration to the recreation of inhuman philosopher Marvel Superhero\, Karnak.
