PsySoc Social Bristol

An evening of real talk, new friends & wild tales…And a potluck.

Tired of small talk? So are we.
Come drop the mask and dive into something a little more real.

Join us for a night of Psychedelic Speed-Friending , where we’ll gently guide you through playful ice-breakers and juicy conversation prompts designed to help you meet new people in meaningful ways. Think slow, soul-nourishing conversations rather than frantic networking. Expect short but impactful heart-to-hearts in pairs.

We'll then share a ** potluck dinner ** together. Bring along a dish or snacks to share with the group.

To close the evening, we'll do some Psychedelic Storytelling, a beloved open mic session where you can take the stage and share your psychedelic happenings. This could be anything you feel called to share: A trip report, a spiritual experience, a weird dream, a moment of profound realization. There’s no need to be polished or profound, just honest. Stories are 5 minutes max, and you can sign up on the night.

Venue

The evening will take place at the super-cosy Gasworks Studio on Narroways Road in St. Werburghs. There will be herbal teas provided and lots of comfy cushions and blankets. Postcode will be sent on the purchase confirmation email.
