I will be presenting at the Awareness Lectures in Psychedelic Science conference in Aarau, Switzerland.

Though many psychedelic medicines in Western clinical research are derived from plants or fungi, these vegetal and fungal beings are often disregarded in the medicalized model. Utilizing tools from the interdisciplinary field of plant studies, this presentation seeks to bring the “vegetal turn,” a move toward recognizing plants as intelligent agents with their own lives, to research on psychedelics. A focus on the plants and fungi themselves centers both their cultural and ecological situatedness within the practice of psychedelic-assisted therapy. 

I will also be participating in the Mystical Experiences Panel.
