Your Extraordinary Mind: The Official Book Launch Party with Zach Leary (Austin) May2025

Join the Psychedelic Society of Texas and Kuya Wellness for a special evening with Zach Leary, longtime psychedelic advocate, teacher, and host of the Psychedelics Today and Now podcast, as we celebrate the release of his new book: Your Extraordinary Mind: Psychedelics in the 21st Century and How to Use Them.

Set in community and ceremony, this unique gathering offers a rare opportunity to connect directly with Zach as he shares insights from his life’s work and reads from his newest book. The evening will open with complimentary cacao, community connection, and a warm welcome from PsyTexas and Kuya. From there, Zach will read from his new book and we’ll drop into a deep and expansive conversation on how psychedelics—particularly LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and ayahuasca—can be used with intention, safety, and reverence in our modern world.

Zach brings a distinctive and multi-perspectival voice to the psychedelic space, blending his personal lineage as the son of Timothy Leary with more than 30 years of lived experience as facilitator, teacher, and seeker. His work honors the mystical and revolutionary potential of these substances while emphasizing the grounded, daily practices needed to integrate them into our lives for healing, spiritual growth, and transformation.

As Zach writes, “I believe we can distill the mind-blowing, previously indescribable psychedelic experience into a focused spiritual method that can help people in their daily lives.” This night is an invitation to explore exactly that—how the extraordinary can become a lived, embodied part of our ordinary world.
