Curious About
Psychedelics?
But don't know where to start?
Psychedelic therapy is a complex topic. There are many different 'medicines' in use, from psilocybin and ketamine to the more exotic ayahuasca and bufo.
There is a huge range of settings, ranging from professional clinics featuring Western-trained professionals, to healers operating in exotic locales, trained in the timeless approach of indigenous ancestry.
With new research emerging all the time and the legality of these medicines changing quickly, it's easy to get overwhelmed.
Whether you are new to psychedelic wellness or a deeply-experienced psychonaut, The Open:Minds Expo will help you find your path.
Engage with experts in private one-on-one conversations. Learn about the emerging data and scientific support. Discover all of the legal pathways to Psychedelic Wellness. And hear from acclaimed local, and global, speakers.
