Buckminster Fuller said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”  

Psychedelics are tools. Psychedelic experiences are personal events that can ​illuminate what in the culture hasn't been working and (often) how to change it. As soon as we stop being defensive, opportunities to expand the new model multiply. As restrictions on scientific and spiritual psychedelic​ use begin to fade, trends and breakthroughs fueled by these experiences are becoming important in science, education, the humanities, medicine, mental health, and religious experience. In this all-day workshop, we will present evidence that there is a future worth living in, and explore the psychedelic-informed steps already underway to create it. Areas we will cover include Multistate Theory, mind design, the Entheogen Reformation, “high” tech, cannabis as entheogen, the new underground, field research, the next generation of guides, Microdosing, and more.  

We are moving from psychedelic science, to psychedelic culture, to broader culture and widespread acceptance. It will not be long before the idea of restricting psychedelic use will be as repugnant as slavery, sexual abuse, and child soldiers.  

As we are bringing this about together, we will have ample discussion periods for your contributions.

Psychedelic Science 2017 was a six-day global gathering of the international scientific community in Oakland, California to explore new research into the benefits and risks of MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, ibogaine, medical marijuana, and more.
