Discussion: Well, Actually... Wellness, Psychedelics and Neoliberalism

From Goop to ayahuasca tourism, this conversation is between Matthew Ingram, author of Retreat: How the Counterculture Invented Wellness, and author John Doran. Together they will explore ways the wellness industry connects to the 1960s counterculture while profiteering from non-western traditions. What is at stake when wellbeing and mental health are reduced to a lifestyle? Is self-optimisation another mask for exploitation? Has microdosing led to a slow cancellation of the radical consciousness shift offered by the macrodose?
