This unique forum aims to challenge the effects of the under-representation of women in psychedelic science and community. Among the fifteen women presenting are some of our most esteemed elders; the forum features prominent voices from both the psychedelic underground and academic researchers.
The first part of the Women and Psychedelics Forum with an introduction from the Executive Director of the Chacruna Institute of Psychedelic Plant Medicines and organizer of the WPF, Bia Labate, followed by the launch of the Ayahuasca Community Guidelines for the Awareness and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (Emily Sinclair), a Statement from MAPS Public Benefit Corporation relating to the issue of sexual abuse in psychedelic therapy (Sarah Scheld), and the Keynote address from the WPF by Kathleen Harrison covering a history of Feminism and the Feminine in the psychedelic movement.
