Psykedeelit 2023

Psychedelic research is rising in Finland, and Psykedeelit 2023 – The 2nd Finnish Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelics aims to shed light on the most fundamental questions related to psychedelics and psychedelic experiences. The conference will occur at Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland, on November 23–24, 2023. This year’s conference focuses on the specific theme of What is (a) psychedelic?

The conference is multidisciplinary and open to researchers, students, and others whose work is related to psychedelics in any field of science, such as psychologists, physicians, pharmacologists, sociologists, philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, gender studies researchers, and artists. Invited keynote speakers of the conference are psychologist Dr. Max Wolff and evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Manvir Singh. Dr. Wolff will discuss how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy differs from ordinary psychotherapy, while Dr. Singh will talk about psychedelics in relation to shamanism and indigenous cultures.

The conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange knowledge and ideas about psychedelics, and it is hoped that this will contribute to the progress of the field.
