Between them they have clocked up thousands of hours of immersive practice, offering lifesaving treatments to those people lucky enough to find them.

Cobweb of Trips: A Literary History of Psychedelics
AU$55.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRobert Dickins
Vale of Pewsey: Psychedelic Press, 2024.“Cobweb of Trips is a literary history of psychedelics that catches a sublime aesthetic weaving its way through mid-twentieth century Britain and beyond – one which asks how early experimenters sought to find a role for psychedelics in society. Spinning a psychospiritual thread from literature and the history of medicine, this story brings to light how the question of psychedelics, and the trips people had, were animated by the eras cultural transformations. From spiritual reimaginings and scientific novelty, to political agitation and the counterculture of the 1960s, Cobweb of Trips is a poetic thread emerging when the psychedelic experience alighted in modern history.” (publisher’s blurb)
