Themed Shake the Tree: Seeds to Action, Psychedelic Psychotherapy Forum, scheduled Sept 29 – Oct 2, intends to visibly “shake the tree” — to open up possibilities for transforming health (especially mental health), and related professions.

Ways We Educate & Build Community
Psychedelic Psychotherapy Forum is the longest running psychedelic conference of its kind in Canada, and is unique today in that it is crafted for and co-created with practitioners, supporting, working, and training, in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
The Forum / Conference is an opportunity for everyone interested in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy — including health providers, advocates, researchers, students, bodyworkers, traditional and/or holistic therapists — to come together to network, and to dialogue about learnings, opportunities, issues and challenges, models of healthcare, and standards of practice.
