Psychedelics Design 2026

The Psychedelics Design Festival & Awards returns for its 2026 edition on November 6-7, presenting a two-day online exploration centred around the concept of Creative Biome. This year’s theme envisions design as a living, interdependent ecosystem, positioning it as medicine for culture that is simultaneously luminous, grounded, and regenerative. The festival examines fundamental questions about how design can be felt beyond its immediate form, how psychedelics-inspired creativity might nourish both human wellbeing and planetary health, and how participants can integrate insights from these two days into their everyday lives.

Set against the backdrop of an accelerated age defined by AI, biotech, and expanding networks alongside burnout and ecological crisis, the festival frames psychedelics as inner technologies that reconnect people with themselves, each other, and the planet. At its heart, the event serves as an invitation to create moments that matter, experiences that deepen our collective sense of being alive, together, and in relation to the world around us. The festival continues the momentum from its 2025 edition, which celebrated imagination and knowledge in design, innovation, and advocacy whilst launching the first-of-its-kind Psychedelics Design Awards.

The 2026 festival benefits from partnerships with Blossom, Zoe Wilder PR, and Mycopreneur, alongside support from Mojo and Mycoday. The event maintains strong connections with media partners, including Tricycle Day, Psychedelic Alpha, DoubleBlind, Reality Sandwich, and Psychedelics Today, ensuring a broad reach within the psychedelic community. Registration and applications for the 2026 edition will open in Spring 2026, offering interested participants the opportunity to engage with this growing Creative Biome at the intersection of design and psychedelics.
