Cultivating Roots for Cultural Change

•

Cultivating Roots for Cultural Change •

Chacruna started producing large-scale conferences in Mexico in 2015, and then yearly spring conferences in the West Coast since 2018. Psychedelic Culture 2025 will continue our tradition of exploring cutting-edge themes that are largely absent from the mainstream psychedelic conversation. Chacruna’s interdisciplinary conferences are well known for bringing diverse voices together, combining intellectual vision and rigor, community, activism, heart and soul. In the midst of the so called psychedelic renaissance, it is more important than ever to promote dialogues between scientists and communities who have been truly involved with these medicines, to have knowledge about the proper ways to use and steward them.

Why Attend Psychedelic Culture 2025

As the psychedelic renaissance reaches a pivotal moment of mainstream interest and regulatory legitimacy, Psychedelic Culture 2025 aims to foster globally relevant conversations around science, culture, law, reciprocity, biocultural conservation, social justice, accessibility, and the many intersections affecting various groups of minoritized folks and the general public within the psychedelic movement.

Attending this event is a chance to support public education, social awareness, harm reduction, and community building toward a thoroughly informed and equitable psychedelic future.

Insights from Past Attendees

  • It is a super positive community event that seeks to uplift the voices of a broad cross-section of the psychedelic community without prioritizing big pharma, the medical industry, researchers or legislators. I appreciated hearing these voices.

    Jody Lomak

  • Psychedelic Culture 2024 offered a unique set of educational experiences that as a psychotherapist, I have not had the opportunity to learn from any other conference. It was so rich in information about traditional practices from which I learned a great deal. In addition, the perspectives of diverse populations provided me with a a lot of new knowledge and informs my ongoing work with the LGBTQ+ community.
