Now in our fourth year, we’ve evolved from a conference and expo into a dynamic three-day festival. This year's event, held on January 24, 25, and 26, transforms downtown Salt Lake City into a vibrant hub of art, entertainment, and education, inviting attendees to explore new perspectives on psychedelics through a blend of learning and creative expression.
Our festival continues to connect Utah’s diverse plant medicine community, bringing together experts, leaders, business owners, and newcomers to collaborate and choose their own path in exploring psychedelics.
