Psychedelic Culture 2026 - A Chacruna Conference

The Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines, an organization founded by Brazilian anthropologist Dr. Bia Labate, produces high-quality research on plant medicines and psychedelics, and helps propagate academic knowledge in more accessible formats. We educate the public and create cultural understanding and legitimacy regarding these substances so that they may cease to be stigmatized and outlawed. Chacruna also promotes a bridge between the world of plant medicines and the emergent field of psychedelic science, between “traditional ceremonial use” and clinical and therapeutic settings, bringing the knowledge and perspectives of the social sciences to health care professionals and practitioners of psychedelic- assisted therapy. Finally, we foster cultural and political reflections on the field of psychedelic science and facilitate conversations about controversial topics that have been simmering on the sidelines as psychedelics go mainstream.

Chacruna Institute

The Bay Area’s Annual Spring Conference on Plant Medicines & Psychedelic Science.

Brava Theater Center

Psychedelic Culture 2026 will explore cutting-edge themes that are largely absent from the mainstream psychedelic conversation, all related to our main initiatives: Indigenous Reciprocity &amp; Decolonial Dialogues, Psychedelic Justice, Protection of Sacred Plants &amp; Cultural Traditions, and voices from the Global South.At this three day in-person conference, with 3 simultaneous tracks, Chacruna will convene comprehensive panels and experiential opportunities including music, dance, art circles, rapé (tobacco) ceremonies, workshops and meet up sessions. Chacruna’s interdisciplinary conferences are well known for bringing diverse voices together, combining intellectual vision and rigor, community, activism, heart and soul. In the midst of the so-called psychedelic renaissance, it is more important than ever to promote dialogues between scientists and communities who have been truly involved with these medicines, to have knowledge about the proper ways to use and steward them. <h3>For more information, visit our <a href="https://www.psychedelic-culture.net/" title="https://www.psychedelic-culture.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">official website </a>or contact us at pcu@chacruna.net</h3>*Scholarships available <a href="https://forms.gle/4xQ1xfaLK8B4siDF7" title="https://forms.gle/4xQ1xfaLK8B4siDF7" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a><h4> </h4><h3>Standard Refund Policy:</h3>Full refund: You can receive a full refund of your registration fee, minus a $10 administration processing fee, up to 60 days before the online conference start date.Partial refund: For cancellations made between 59 and 7 days before the conference start date, you will receive a 50% refund of your registration fee, minus a $10 administration processing fee.No refunds: Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations made less than 7 days before the conference start date.
