The aim of the conference is to create a platform for global cooperation of various people with a professional or other interest in psychedelics and also from other areas where psychedelics can be – but are not necessarily always involved, like drug policy, harm reduction, mental health, spirituality and religion, ecology, etc. Those people are ranging from scientists, practitioners and other experts, to the grassroots. The event will provide an outside-the-box discussion on the approaches to working with psychedelics and on the equivocal position these substances hold in our modern society, with special emphasize on the drug policy. Generally, we aim to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience at the global level, incorporate cross-cultural perspectives, discuss strategies from the global perspective, and create new synergies. We will discuss existing and also potential role of psychedelics in contemporary society.

Psychedelics have been used in manifold contexts throughout human history: from ancient traditional ways to modern medical research, domestic cultivation, and party use; from treatment, personal growth, and wellbeing to gnostic and heuristic purposes, and ceremonies serving societal needs or religious and environmental functions. A crucial aspect of the study of psychedelics is how these substances affect society and the other way around, as reflected in societal environments, standards, attitudes, and, very importantly, also in the law.

Rather than looking at psychedelics merely as chemical substances, this conference aims to focus on what is “beyond”. We want to explore the context of psychedelic use and its interaction with the psychedelic experience, and to give voice to knowledge and experience gained in various spheres of life, as we are convinced that sharing perspectives is key to the development of sound knowledge.

We will be discussing the position of psychedelics within contexts such as nature, therapy, culture and society, with a special emphasis on their current legal status. Besides, considering the fact that he context of the psychedelic experience is influenced by its purpose, we will take a look at various purposes of the psychedelic experience from different points of view, including:

* Medical treatment
* Self-experience for mental health professionals
* Personal growth and wellbeing
* Creativity purposes
* Spirituality and religion
* Community and societal needs
* Ecology
* Study of consciousness
* Recreational use and entertainment

We would like to discuss these areas from a variety of perspectives. In order to represent as many different perspectives as possible, the list of speakers will include Western scientists, traditional indigenous experts, drug policy analysts, historians and eyewitnesses of the 1960s, people working with psychedelics in their treatment practice, people working in psychedelic harm-reduction services, and, last but not least, also patients treated by psychedelics as well as lay users of psychedelics.

We will meet to share our diverse perspectives from all over the world, engage in discussion, explore the potential of psychedelics, learn from each other and look for new prospects for the use of psychedelics in the modern society.
