About Beyond Psychedelics:

“The aim of the conference was to create a platform for global cooperation of various people with a professional or other interest in psychedelics and also from other areas where psychedelics can be – but are not necessarily always involved, like drug policy, harm reduction, mental health, spirituality and religion, ecology, etc. Those people ranged from scientists, practitioners and other experts, to the grassroots.  The event provided an outside-the-box discussion on the approaches to working with psychedelics and on the equivocal position these substances hold in our modern society, with special emphasis on drug policy. It facilitated the exchange of knowledge and experience at the global level, incorporate cross-cultural perspectives, discuss strategies from the global perspective, and create new synergies.”

Speakers: Rick Doblin, Amanda Feilding, Dennis McKenna, Roland Grifftiths, Beatriz Caiuby Labaté, Luis Eduardo Luna, Michael Winkelman, Robin Carhart-Harris, Franz X. Vollenweider, Ede Frecska, Ben Sessa, David Luke, Simon Green, Jiří Horáček, José Carlos Bouso, Ingmar Gorman, Tomáš Páleníček, Petr Winkler, Jonathan Dickinson, Brun Gonzáles, Natalie Lyla Ginsberg, Friederike Meckel Fischer, Jindřich Vobořil, Jordi Riba…and more.

The visual hashtag of the conference was the glass prism, which, like psychedelics, splits light up into colours, allows for new perspectives and unveils the hidden geometry of the universe.

"My aim was, and is, to re-integrate these valuable compounds into the fabric of society, and to make their benefits available where appropriate."
