Psychedelic Culture 2024

The Bay Area’s Annual Spring Conference, Psychedelic Culture 2024, marks another chapter in Chacruna’s commitment to fostering groundbreaking dialogues in the realm of psychedelics. Scheduled for April 27th and 28th at the Brava Theater Center in the heart of San Francisco, this event is a convergence of minds and souls alike. Since its inception in Mexico in 2015 and its subsequent annual West Coast conferences, Chacruna has been at the forefront of introducing avant-garde themes into the mainstream conversation about psychedelics.

Psychedelic Culture 2024 extends the tradition of spotlighting diverse and often overlooked perspectives within the psychedelic dialogue. The conference will explore a spectrum of topics, such as Indigenous reciprocity, the intersection of psychedelics and religion, legislative reform, and the burgeoning nexus between neuroscience and shamanism. With three simultaneous tracks across two days, the event will feature comprehensive panels and experiential opportunities, inviting attendees into a world of critical reflection and enlightenment, addressing issues like psychedelic-assisted therapy, sexual ethics within ceremonies, and the importance of biocultural conservation.

Speakers of profound expertise and varied backgrounds, including Drea Pennington Wasio, Artionka Capiberibe, and David Bronner, will grace the conference, providing insights into their respective fields. Chacruna is known for its interdisciplinary conferences that blend academic rigour with community and activism. Amid the psychedelic renaissance, the conference aims to foster critical conversations between scientists and long-time practitioners of psychedelic medicines, focusing on the proper ways to use and steward these substances.

The event promises to be an amalgamation of intellectual vision, activism, community engagement, and soulful expression, taking place in a venue led by women and rooted in traditional Latin culture. Scholarships are available for those seeking financial assistance, and the conference offers discounted accommodation at the Phoenix Hotel.
