Orr Forum 2026 Tuesday, March 10, 2026 - 11:00 am to 12:00 pm Lenfest Learning Commons, John Stewart Memorial Library “Psychedelic Religions: Healing, Connection, and Transcendence in Modern America"For many, psychedelics and religion make strange—even heretical—bedfellows. Yet the United States is home to hundreds of psychedelic churches that hold these powerful psychoactive substances as sacred. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research, this talk explores the beliefs, practices, and communities that comprise this rapidly growing corner of America's religious landscape—one that challenges us to reconsider what both drugs and religion are in the 21st century.Presented by Jeffrey Breau, Program Lead for Psychedelics and Spirituality, Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity SchoolTuesday, March 10, 2026 at 11 a.m. to noonLenfest Learning Commons in John Stewart Memorial Library, Wilson CollegeThis event is open to the public and free of charge.
