Get ready to expand your horizons—we’re diving deep into the intersection of spirit and science.
Death is a universal experience that shapes our deepest fears, our spiritual stories, and how we value our lives. In this session, Facing Death Without Fear, author and researcher Matt Zemon dives into emerging evidence that psychedelics can catalyze profound shifts in meaning and connection, often easing the existential distress associated with the end of life. Through a moderated panel of spiritual and clinical experts, we will explore whether it is the experience itself, the community support, or the spiritual framework that truly allows a human being to face mortality with peace. Join us to discover how we might loosen fear’s grip and approach the inevitable with wisdom and grace.
As interest in psychedelic experiences expands within spiritual spaces, many are reporting a profound encounter with the Divine Feminine—described as motherly figures, ancient goddesses, and loving earth spirits. In this session, When She Appears: Psychedelics and the Return of the Divine Feminine, spiritual director Joy Celeste Crawford leads a conversation on how these expanded states of consciousness might loosen strict hierarchies and reconnect us to our own bodies and the Earth. Whether you’ve had a psychedelic journey or are simply curious, join us to explore whether these visions are personal symbols or a collective reawakening of the Great Mother—a source of unconditional love and wisdom much needed in our time of global crisis
While some explore the internal landscape of the soul, others look to the physical artifacts that have defined our spiritual history. In The Mobile Museum of Psychedelic Religion, curator and academic Kaleb Graves invites you into a self-paced, experiential journey through a unique collection of entheogenic ephemera. From LSD-themed Gospel tracts to the personal artifacts of Terence McKenna, this traveling museum bridges the gap between counter-culture and the Church, offering a tangible look at how psychedelics and Christianity have intertwined over the last century. Whether you stay for five minutes or an hour, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the complex, colorful story of psychedelic spirituality.
