A worldwide gathering across 100 countries aims to reshape the psychedelic renaissance with equity, inclusion, and community at its core.
As the psychedelic movement transitions from the underground to the mainstream, a new kind of global event is emerging — one designed not just to inform, but to connect, empower, and decentralize. Enter Global Psychedelic Week (GPW), taking place from November 3–9, 2025. With over 5,000 participants expected across 100 countries, GPW isn’t your typical conference. Instead of flying everyone to one stage, the event unfolds across dozens of local hubs and an expansive virtual platform, making it one of the most inclusive and distributed psychedelic gatherings ever attempted.
GPW will feature over 100 thought leaders in neuroscience, therapy, Indigenous medicine, advocacy, and policy. Confirmed speakers include pioneering figures like Rick Doblin, Robin Carhart‑Harris, and Dr. Pamela Kryskow, alongside Indigenous elders, local organizers, and harm reduction experts. The week-long experience offers everything from online keynotes and panels to grassroots events in nearly 60 cities, with workshops, film screenings, integration circles, and public talks, each tailored to the unique culture of its location.
What sets GPW apart is its deliberate focus on equity, access, and decentralization. Co-founder Milica Radovic Mandic describes the event as “meeting people where they are, in their own communities,” rather than centralizing the narrative around a few institutions or nations. Co-founder Dennis Walker frames it more provocatively: “Psychedelics are expanding our consciousness — but who’s setting the stage for how that happens globally? Who gets to shape the values and ethics of this movement?” With the psychedelic space increasingly commercialized, GPW offers a much-needed counterbalance rooted in inclusion and global plurality.
The event comes at a time when psychedelic therapies are edging closer to legalization in parts of the U.S. and elsewhere, and public interest is surging. Yet questions around access, cultural respect, and responsible integration remain unanswered. By inviting global participation, from seasoned researchers to first-time explorers, GPW hopes to build a foundation not just for psychedelic healing, but for a movement grounded in ethics, reciprocity, and community leadership.
Registration is now open, and early bird discounts are available for both virtual access and those interested in hosting local events. Whether you’re a therapist, technologist, psychonaut, policymaker, or simply curious, Global Psychedelic Week offers a rare chance to connect with a global network of like-minded seekers and changemakers. In a world that’s increasingly fragmented, this event is a powerful reminder that transformation, both personal and collective, is something we can build together.
