Presentations Overview

Day 1

The Future of Psychedelic Medicine in the US. This talk will provide an overview of recent legislative changes, including the Oregon initiative and look towards the emerging legal and regulatory practice environment. Graham Boyd has been central to much of the legislative advancement for cannabis and psilocybin across the US. 

Entering the Psychedelic Medicine Paradigm: MDMA, Psilocybin and Ketamine. How does this work change the business and work environment in a clinic? What does work flow look like in a psychedelically oriented clinic and how does it shift operations and practical matters like scheduling? Scott Shannon has decades of work in this framework and is also a Phase III MDMA site Principal Investigator for MAPS as well as a ketamine-assisted practitioner/trainer.

Bringing these Medicines Forth, Legally. Brad Barlett is an attorney with extensive experience in the cannabis and psychedelic space. He will consider how these medicines can stretch our concerns around liability. He will also address regulatory constraints and the challenges of practicing safely in an ever moving legal environment. 

Creating a Sacred Clinic. The psychedelic model challenges us all to create a special environment that enhances the medicine experience while modeling sustainable practices. How do we celebrate our connection to the planet while running a cost-effective clinic. Jaime Harvie has been working in the sustainable movement for decades and serves on the PRATI Board of Directors.

Successful Psychedelic Models. This program will highlight three different large clinical models in the US that employ the psychedelic framework successfully. It will highlight both their innovations and challenges as they plow new clinical ground.

Day 2

Welcome 

Consciousness, Capitalism and Psychedelics. This short segment will consider the core elements of the psychedelic model and how they can best interface with capitalism without distortion or commodification. 

Fostering a Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Clinic. 2020 has only highlighted issues that are historic, systemic, and continued. The US psychedelic community has been very much a white and affluent subculture. How do we address issues so evident here as we endeavor to establish a new model for mental health. Yarelix Estrada and Kwasi Adusei will lead this exploration.

Ethical issues in Psychedelic Clinics. A new paradigm creates new dilemmas for practitioners and owners. Do you use video or two therapists? How do we protect the extreme vulnerability inherent in psychedelic medicine work? These and other quandaries will be explored. Jessica Breemen from PRATI and DanceSafe will facilitate.

Leadership by Vision & Values. How do you effectively lead others in a shared psychedelic venture? How does one translate core values or a clear vision into an effort that others will join and follow? This segment will provide some practical lived experience about stepping into leadership in an emerging paradigm.  

Psychedelic Medicine Culture. The passion that we have witnessed in psychedelic medicine is driven by the inner experience that carries insight and healing.These inner experiences also drive a desire to share this message with others. How do these experiences change people and what are the characteristics of this audience.  

Access to Heart: Psychedelic Marketing & Stories From the Field. Our roving reporter, Andy Belanger with decades of business start-up consulting, will interview five clinics from around the US to highlight how they market their services and what has been learned. 

Financing & Funding Models in Psychedelic Medicine. You need money to create a psychedelic clinic. What are your options for funding or financing a start-up? How do you present your funding needs in the manner most likely to find a yes. Greg Kearns who leads Forth Road, a psychedelically informed consulting company will share his perspective.

Building your Dream in Psychedelic Medicine. What does your dream clinic look like? How will you explain this to others? In this breakout, participants will have a chance to outline the essence of their vision with support and guidance.
