Chacruna produces new large-scale, in-person or virtual conferences each year, focusing on cutting-edge themes that are largely absent from the mainstream psychedelic conversation. These include diverse subjects such as indigenous knowledge and sacred plants, diversity, equity and inclusion, women and queer issues, and questions around decriminalization, legalization, mainstreaming and commodification. Our next in-person event will be taking place Thursday, December 8th in LA and will be a book launch for Chacruna’s new book Queering Psychedelics which discusses the continuing radical potential of queer psychedelia in today’s era of assimilation and increasingly codified and discursively managed identities paving the way for the movement’s liberatory potential for all people.
