Canadian Psychedelic Summit

August 13-17, 2025

Shape the Future.

August 13-17, 2025

We are on the precipice of a new psychedelic revolution. Join leaders across sectors to shape the future of psychedelic research, practice, therapy, entrepreneurship, and policy in Canada.

Centering Indigenous and voices of colour, our mission is to imbue the psychedelic landscape with greater diversity, practicing a way of being with equity and accountability at our core.

We gather on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Klahoose, Tla’amin, and Homalco Nations, on beautiful Cortes Island, BC.
