The third-annual event is scheduled for Oct. 5-6 at York Manor in Los Angeles.
The Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles announced that B-Real, the lead rapper of Cypress Hill, will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming Awakening Conference 2024.
B-Real will share his personal journey and insights on the healing potential of cannabis and psychedelics, continuing his advocacy for alternative medicines and consciousness-expanding practices.
“Awakening 2024 promises to be an extraordinary event, offering a unique opportunity to engage with 47 of the world’s foremost researchers, healers, shamans, activists, legal experts and entrepreneurs working at the forefront of psychedelics and plant medicine,” the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles said in a news release.
The third-annual event is scheduled for Oct. 5-6 at York Manor in Los Angeles.
Topics will explore the immense potential of psychedelic medicine to address trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety, while also highlighting advancements in clinical research, regulatory approval and therapeutic access, according to event organizers. Additionally, pre-conference workshops will provide deep dives into legal plant-medicine practices, offering valuable insights for both newcomers and professionals in the field.
In addition to the thought-provoking talks, participants will enjoy live musical performances designed to enrich the immersive, transformative atmosphere of the conference.
The event’s roots trace back to 1967 when Paul Karasik, CEO of the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles, first embarked on his own psychedelic journey.
“Today, the institute continues to foster education and community support, ensuring that the modern psychedelic renaissance flourishes in safe, informed and meaningful ways,” the organization explained in a news release. “Since its inception in 2022, The Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles has been a trusted resource for education, events, and programs that help individuals and professionals grow personally and professionally.”
