As a member of the Native American Church, I’m curios what the Religion and Psychedelics Forum by the Chacruna Institute will be like.
I will be listening through a trauma-informed lens 🤓

Chacruna Institute is hosting Religion and Psychedelics Forum, a four-day conference taking place April 21-24, 2022. The conference will explore the role psychedelics may have played in the history of religion, as well as the role that religion now plays in the modern psychedelic renaissance.
Featuring 70 speakers, this exploration will be a multidisciplinary and intercultural approach, examining important questions around mystical experience, Indigenous spirituality, religious freedom and drug policy, and how psychedelics intersect with both Eastern and Western religious traditions.
