World Psychedelics Day 2022 – The Psychedelic Salon
World Psychedelics Day 2022 presented The Psychedelic Salon, an innovative 3D interactive virtual gathering designed in collaboration with Ozzo, held on June 20, 2022. The event united leading experts, researchers, filmmakers, clinicians, indigenous leaders, and advocates from around the globe in a unique digital space, enabling immersive and engaging conversations.
The Salon featured two virtual spaces exploring diverse, critical themes including psychedelic ethics, clinical research, indigenous reciprocity, business innovations, and environmental activism. Participants experienced real-time networking and deeply interactive discussions, establishing connections that bridged diverse sectors within the psychedelic community.
With distinguished speakers from prestigious institutions and organizations such as Yale University, MAPS Canada, Numinus Wellness, Chacruna Institute, McKenna Academy, and more, the 2022 Psychedelic Salon significantly advanced the global dialogue around psychedelics. The event's success reflected its dedication to ethical frameworks, scientific advancement, indigenous wisdom, and advocacy for responsible psychedelic practices.
