Brownstone Supper Club Philadelphia! Thursday, April 3, 2025 – Laura Delano
April 3 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm $50.00
Join us at our next Philadelphia Supper Club on April 3rd, 2025! We welcome Laura Delano, a nationally recognized author and speaker focused on the problems with the American mental health industry. In January 2018, Laura launched Inner Compass Initiative (ICI), a non-profit organization that helps people make more informed choices about psychiatric diagnoses, drugs, and drug withdrawal. Laura will discuss her brand new book: UNSHRUNK, A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance, in which she tells her personal story of spending 14 years as a psychiatric patient and provides much-needed insights regarding long-term harms of psychiatric medications and how to get off of them safely. Books will be available for sale at the Supper Club!
Our venue, the festive Las Bugambilias in Philadelphia’s famous Old City district, offers a buffet of all-you-can-consume Mexican food, margaritas, beer, and wine — all included. Join us for a night of eating and drinking, meet Brownstone Institute friends, scholars, writers, and benefactors, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. Dress is whatever makes you happy — casual is great, fancy is also wonderful.
