Staying True to Yourself: Drugs, Intoxication and Spiritual Implications
You are invited to join in a lively discussion with Dr. Allan Cohen and Sydney journalist, Emily Chantiri.
The event will be introduced by award winning producer, Kris Wyld, of East-West 101.
Renowned author and drug prevention campaigner, Dr. Allan Cohen will bring a generation of knowledge and discuss the impact of drugs and their spiritual implications.
The discussion will focus on how we can remain true to ourselves. The search for truth and meaning in life is a question we all ask; whilst some seek answers in drugs, others seek answers in spirituality.
Dr. Cohen’s life work began in the early sixties, at the height of drugs, sex and rock and roll era. Initially, he worked with the drug explorers, Timothy Leary and Ram Dass. During this period, Dr. Cohen’s life experienced a radical shift after he received a message from the spiritual master, Meher Baba. This would set him on a career path concentrating on the prevention and intervention of drug abuse as well as focusing on the spiritual path.
“In the sixties I was a graduate student at Harvard, my extracurricular activities included 3 years of experimentation with mind-altering drugs. These were the early days of the psychedelic movement, when adventurers of inner space were trying to explore the chemical frontiers of consciousness. In August 1964, I became interested in Meher Baba. I was especially impressed by the exquisite profundity of his writings on the nature of consciousness.”
Dr. Cohen will be interviewed by Sydney journalist, Emily Chantiri, contributor to Sydney Morning Herald, and the best-selling author of The Money Club, Savvy Girl’s Guide to Money and The Voice of Intuition.
