Why we feature speakers for expertise only at the summit

We recognize that some topics and perspectives within the psychedelic community can be sensitive. Speakers featured at this summit reflect their expertise and lived experience, not an endorsement of all views or actions. Our goal is not to take sides, cancel anyone, or amplify division. Instead, we aim to build bridges and create a space for learning where personal differences can be set aside to focus on advancing lived experience in psychedelic care.

Our focus is on the knowledge and lived wisdom that speakers bring to the summit. No one is perfect, and everyone, including those we may see as authorities, has shadows and can make mistakes. This is also an opportunity to cultivate compassion for ourselves, acknowledging that we too are human and fallible. Including experts with diverse experiences helps us learn from a wide range of perspectives and strengthens the field, without excusing past actions or diminishing real concerns.

We want to be transparent that this reflects our current understanding. Our views and perspectives may evolve over time as we learn and grow. We welcome feedback and use it to refine how we approach the summit, the community, and the work of advancing lived experience in psychedelic care.

This summit is not a political platform; it is a patient care platform. Our priority is extracting and sharing insights that can help improve psychedelic care and support those with lived experience. We hope attendees engage with the summit as a space for learning, growth, and collaboration, even when personal perspectives differ. Thank you for understanding.
