The team of the first ever summer programme on the Psychedelic Universe! We thank all students who took part in this inaugural programme and appreciate both their curiosity and the valuable insights they brought to class every day ! It is because of minds like these that it is possible to explore the lesser known aspects of history and science🌌.
Also, this programme would not be possible without the knowledgable and passionate academic directors Erik Davis and Christian Greer! Thank you all!

It has been an excellent first year of the psychedelic universe programme!

In this two-week summer program, students embarked on an exploration of psychedelic consciousness through various historical and cultural lenses. They gained a historical and anthropological understanding of psychedelic use and culture, highlighting aspects often neglected in the emerging field of psychedelic science.

Additionally, this amazing poster was made by one of the Psychedelic Universe students ( )! It features both academic directors - Erik Davis and Christian Greer ( )as well as some of the figures that were studied in class (McKenna, Allegro, Maria Sabina, etc).

Last weekend we held the first academic opening of Summer School 2024! This marked the beginning of the first four programmes of the summer and as hopefully highlighted in the pictures, The Summer Programmes Office Team is very happy to finally be kicking off this season.

We are especially excited to be introducing two new courses in this first cohort: “The Psychedelic Universe: Global Perspectives on Higher Consciousness” and “Addressing Conflict: Peacebuilding in Theory and Praxis.” Equally exciting, our staple course “Introduction to Sexuality Studies” also commenced during the academic opening.

Not to forget - The Pre-University Honours Programme: Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship, which welcomes students between 16 and 19 years old , has also started this week. Whilst the pre-university students did not participate in the academic opening, we made sure to organize a welcome party for them as well!

If you are participating in any of these programmes, please mention us in your Amsterdam or Summer School related stories! We are eager to see the experience from your perspective and share it with other students.☀️
