This collection of courses and a workshop are the cumulative result of expertise and many years of discussions curated by the Chacruna team, which include topics that are typically absent from the mainstream conversations surrounding psychedelics, especially discussions including Indigenous communities. We strive to promote a bridge between the world of plant medicines and the emergent field of psychedelic science, between “traditional ceremonial use” and clinical and therapeutic settings.

Throughout these studies, leading experts in the psychedelic field will teach on topics including but not limited to anti-racism, implicit bias, queer aspects, intersectionality, cultural humility, social identity, power and privilege, healing the racial divide, uses of Indigenous plant medicines, Indigenous knowledge and practices, issues of commodification and globalization, patents, reciprocity, conservation, legality, ethics, sexual abuse, practitioner’s training, and the actual science behind some of these sacred plants. The format of the classes include equal time for lecture and discussion, which creates a space that fosters new perspectives in the public debate and addresses aspects that are frequently missing in studies in the mainstream field of psychedelics and in the new explosion of trainings being offered.

We offer scholarship options for folks who cannot afford the full price, with priority given to BIPOC, LGBTQ + and other minority groups. After the completion of all of the courses and workshops, participants will have the option to obtain the total Continuing Education (CE) credits offered, as well as receive a certificate from Chacruna for Studies in Psychedelic Justice, or the module of their choice.

We combine high quality excellence, with a compassionate approach toward studying social justice issues. Students who enroll in all courses and the workshop (inclusively)  will achieve an automatic membership to Chacruna. Come join our vibrant community of kindred spirits, participate and learn !
