Chacruna educates students, teachers, clinicians and health professionals on psychedelics and plant medicines through an integrated ecosystem of evidence-based education, learning, dialogue, and collaboration. Across science, policy, and culture, we highlight Indigenous knowledge, sacred plants, equity, women and queer issues, and the evolving questions of decriminalization, legalization, conservation and commercialization. Our educational work counts with scholarship opportunities and unfolds through the Education Center, Chronicles, Books & Publications, and Partnerships with Universities—each creating space for critical conversations, diverse voices, and shared inquiry that deepen understanding and shape the future of psychedelic studies.
The Education Center brings all educational offerings under one umbrella, serving as a single home for courses, workshops, training, and learning materials. It offers a clear path to explore timely topics, engage with thought leaders, earn optional continuing education credits, and join a community committed to rigorous, and enjoyable learning.

Chronicles is Chacruna’s collection of articles, essays, and reflections exploring the cultural, scientific, and social dimensions of psychedelics and plant medicines. It features thought-provoking writing from scholars, Indigenous voices, practitioners, and community leaders, bringing critical perspectives often missing from mainstream discussions. The platform offers readers a space to deepen understanding, question assumptions, and engage with the evolving dialogue around psychedelic justice, equity, and integration.
Chacruna Library is Chacruna’s collection of original works and collaborative titles exploring psychedelics and plant medicine through scholarly, cultural, and social lenses. It brings together books and publications that highlight critical research, Indigenous knowledge, and contemporary debates shaping the psychedelic field. Each work offers readers a deeper understanding of the ethical, political, and spiritual dimensions of psychedelic science and practice, reflecting Chacruna’s commitment to accessible, equitable, thought-provoking and cutting edge education.
Partnerships with Universities reflect Chacruna’s commitment to bridging academic research and real-world practice in the psychedelic field. Through collaborations with universities, think tanks, and research institutions worldwide, we co-create research, programs, courses, and events that expand understanding of psychedelics across disciplines. These partnerships strengthen the academic foundation of psychedelic studies while promoting cultural awareness, equity, justice and ethical engagement with sacred plants and Indigenous knowledge.
We elevate Indigenous voices and Latin American perspectives via the Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative (IRI) and Chacruna Latinoamérica (CLA). We support communal practices by providing religious freedom guidelines and practical harm‑reduction resources. This work protects cultural knowledge, promotes equity, and increases visibility across the field.
We empower emerging voices with internships and mentorships, and offer a fiscal sponsorship program that acts as a springboard for promising projects and organizations to grow. Coaching, resources, and platforms turn potential into ethical, effective leadership.
We build equitable, cross‑cultural networks through memberships and circles, biweekly online community forums, in person dialogues, and a welcoming volunteer program. These spaces center diverse voices, shared learning, and ongoing mutual support.
