The First Online Conference Focused on
Psychedelic Treatments for Addiction and Long-term Recovery

The research is clear. Psychedelics show great promise when it comes to interrupting addictive patterns and supporting long-term recovery. This first of its kind online summit will showcase the multidimensional aspects of the uses, groundbreaking research, and applications of these breakthrough treatments.

If you’re looking for new resources, inspiration, and community dedicated to the healing of addiction through psychedelics, you’ve come to the right place. Get ready to enjoy and learn with our carefully curated panel of multidisiplinary experts, scientists, therapists, and healers. This conference is stacked with a weekend of interviews, presentations, and discussions about every aspect of psychedelic recovery.

Together, we can change the narrative around addiction and treatment, while also shifting the stigma. We’ll learn new skills and perspectives for holistic well-being that we can not only support transformation for ourselves, but also for our clients, family, and loved ones.

Our Story

Danielle Nova and Daniel Shankin each experienced breakthrough healing to transform out of addiction. Daniel had an experience with LSD that immediately halted his problematic drinking in 2000; Danielle interrupted 15 years of addiction to prescription medications and street drugs with ayahuasca, iboga, 5-MeO-DMT and microdosing.

Hear deeply relatable first-hand accounts of people who have struggled and found transformation through the power of psychedelics.

Meet well-known psychedelic luminaries who bring decades of experience, dedication, and personal journeys to create a holistic, integrative approach to healing and personal growth through psychedelics. Explore grounded and balanced approaches and philosophies steeped in harm reduction, psychospiritual intentional use and empowerment.

Enjoy a community forum, where you can share with like-minded individuals, because we know that we are stronger and wiser together. Create connections built on integration, education, and mutual support. We’re excited to see what we can create together.
