Psanctum Psychedelic Conference
Taking place at Portland’s visionary art and healing community center, The Haven/JaJaPDX, the Psanctum Psychedelic Conference will feature talks from both local and regional leaders and experts, as well as workshops, a marketplace, and musical performances.
We look forward to coming together with other seekers, community builders, and visionaries to co-create an unforgettable experience and imagine a psychedelic culture in service to all.
Proceeds from the conference will go towards the Psanctum Psychedelic Education Center & Psychedelic Therapy Fund, which provides grants for those seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies but for whom cost is a barrier.
