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.

What to Expect

The 4th annual summit promises to be yet another transformative experience, featuring inspiring storytellers, workshops, and opportunities for deep relationship and community building.

Key Themes:

  • Reciprocity & Respect: Discover how relationship and reciprocity can lead to more inclusive and effective approaches to psychedelic research, therapy, and community building. Practice deep listening and respect for Indigenous communities that have stewarded medicines for millennia.
  • Accountability & Repair: Explore approaches toward restorative justice based on empathy, restoration, and community empowerment. Practice addressing harm, fostering resilience, and building more equitable and compassionate societies.
  • Healing and Well-being: Discover the potential of psychedelics for mental health, personal growth, and healing as we explore their therapeutic applications.
  • Social and Cultural Impact: Discuss the ethical, legal, and social implications of psychedelics and their role in society.

Who Should Attend

This interdisciplinary Summit welcomes individuals from the psychedelic community as a whole. We invite people working across research, not-for-profit, public health, underground, market, government, and other communities to bring their valuable experience and knowledge to this interdisciplinary space.

With a key outcome to shape a more equitable field, we encourage in particular participants from equity-denied communities to attend, including folks who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, neurodiverse, physically disabled, and those seeking economic equity.

Scholarships are open until May 31.
