This interdisciplinary conference brings together leading voices from anthropology, medicine, psychology, religion, and the arts to explore how diverse ways of knowing can inform the responsible integration of psychedelic therapies into modern healthcare. Join us for a day of presentations that traverse the boundaries between laboratory and ceremony, clinic and community.
