How did a well-known ayahuasca church, Soul Quest, unravel, and what does it say about the state of the psychedelic movement today? We will discuss the rise and fall of this church, what the DEA review process revealed, the dramatic recent developments, and how the events surrounding it can potentially impact the broader psychedelic movement in the U.S. Where does plant medicine fit in the spiritual landscape moving forward? What lessons can be learned from this story? We will feature personal reflections and expert insights from Ron McNutt, who is steward of the Litigation and Advocacy Committee of the Psychedelic Bar Association; Mattha Busby, who is a journalist specializing in drug policy and the history of drugs based in Vancouver, Canada; and Rob Heffernan, who and independent researcher in the ayahuasca field and part of the Sacred Plant Alliance’s board, and Martha J. Hartney, who is a private practice attorney in Colorado and member of Chacruna’s Council for the Protection of Sacred Plants. This forum will be a space for open conversation on balancing growth with responsibility in the evolving psychedelic ecosystem. Join us for this timely and critical discussion to inform and inspire action!
