Psychedelic Culture 2025

Presented by the Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines, Psychedelic Culture 2025 “will continue Chacruna’s tradition of exploring cutting-edge themes that are largely absent from the mainstream psychedelic conversation, related to our main initiatives,” according to the organization. Themes will include Indigenous Reciprocity & Decolonial Dialogues; Psychedelic Justice; Protection of Sacred Plants & Cultural Traditions; and voices from the Global South.

At this two day in-person conference, with three simultaneous tracks, Chacruna will convene comprehensive panels and experiential opportunities that will foster conversations around topics including:

• Indigenous voices
• Indigenous reciprocity
• Biocultural conservation
• Religion and psychedelics
• Holding mindful ceremony
• Legislation reform, law and policy
• Racial equity and access
• Queering psychedelics
• Women in psychedelics
• Veteran leaders in psychedelics
• Disabled populations and psychedelics
• Perspectives from the Global South
• Critical reflections on psychedelic science, including psychedelic-assisted therapy, sexual abuse, touch and ethics
• Dialogues between neuroscience and shamanism

Chacruna also will offer a space for participation in music, dance, art circles, rapé (tobacco) ceremonies and affinity meet-up groups.

“Chacruna’s interdisciplinary conferences are well-known for bringing diverse voices together, combining intellectual vision and rigor, community, activism, heart and soul,” the institute says on its website. “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.”
