2. Jessica Corneille: ‘The power of non-drug altered states of consciousness' 

Jessica's talk will examine the psychology of non-drug-induced spiritual awakenings and their significance for science and society, concluding with practical advice on how to safely and effectively alter consciousness.

• The scientific community is beginning to recognise the healing potential of peak spiritual experiences mediated by psychedelics, but non-drug induced experiences remain largely unexplored despite anecdotal evidence of their long-term impact on self-perception and world interaction.
• With consciousness altering practices like yoga and meditation becoming globally popular, Jessica argues that understanding these experiences is crucial.
