About this Event

Spread the word!!

This year’s 5th annual Psych•d•lic Symposium invites you to reconnect with the land, the lineage, and the living traditions of plant, fungal, and earth-based medicine. Under the theme Earth as the First Medicine: Global Wisdom, Local Practices, we explore the many ways communities across the globe have worked in relationship with the natural world to promote healing, transformation, and connection.

Through panels, workshops, and discussions, the symposium will highlight nature-based practices, ancestral traditions, and contemporary approaches that honor the earth as a foundational guide. Together, we’ll explore how psych•d•lic and plant medicine practices are deeply rooted in ecological relationships, cultural wisdom, and the collective need for restoration within ourselves and our communities.

By integrating global insights with local presence and land-based practices, this year’s symposium offers a space for community building, learning, and deep reconnection. Whether you’re just beginning to explore or are returning to deepen your practice, you are warmly welcomed into this shared journey with the earth as our teacher.We’re thrilled to bring back the beloved community meal this year! Last year’s beautiful spread filled with garden-grown produce and heartfelt offerings, t’was a true highlight, and we can’t wait to gather around the table again.

This year, we’re inviting folks to drop off their contributions during our Food Prep Day on Wednesday, August 14 at noon at City Food Studio: 3722 Chicago Ave S, MPLS, MN. Bringing your ingredients or dishes early helps us prepare with care and ensures everything is ready to share during symposium weekend. You are also welcome to stay and join for a full day of community food prep!

Welcome to year five!

* Scholarship Portal is open until midnight on August 1st, 2025
