Psychedelic Professionals Networking: Online

The Psychedelic Networking Group is a place for psychedelic professionals, researchers, healers, facilitators, practitioners, students, and activists to gather and connect on their shared passion for psychedelics. We hope to provide a safe container where everyone is welcome to come exchange ideas, contact information, and intellectual conversation. You do not need to be a psychedelic professional in order to attend, but we at least ask that you be working in connection to the space somehow.

About the Psychedelic Access Fund

This event is hosted by the Psychedelic Access Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to removing the financial barriers to psychedelic healing. We believe that psychedelic healing should be accessible to all, regardless of their ability to pay for it. We accomplish this by sponsoring individuals for healing opportunities and advocating for access within the psychedelic ecosystem. We hope that the psychedelic professionals network will facilitate collaboration and ultimately, bring more healing to more people who need it.

About our Speaker:

Lorien Chavez is the Social Strategy and Communications Officer for the Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines. Currently based out of New Mexico, she received her bachelor’s in Neuropsychology and Biology and is passionate about the research and use of sacred plant medicines as a tool for generational epigenetic healing. She has been motivated to look deeper into how psychedelics may aid in the process of remapping our minds and nervous systems, and is eager to do it in a way that remains respectful and celebratory of the traditions these medicines are rooted in. Her priority as she steps into these spaces is to ensure that the voices of Indigenous and marginalized communities are heard and respected.
