Summit: Psychedelics & Trauma Healing

Explore the science, soul, and somatic practice of psychedelic-assisted trauma therapy — with Atira Tan, Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Dr. Devon Christie, Dr. Alex Belser, and Chara Caruthers.

Summit: Psychedelics & Trauma Healing.
Psychedelic medicine is reshaping the future of trauma healing — but the depth and safety of that healing depends on the trauma-informed, embodied frameworks that hold the work. In this on-demand summit, five leading voices in the field share the integration models, clinical principles, and cultural considerations that turn psychedelic experiences into lasting transformation. From somatic plant medicine integration to MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and the intersection of psychedelics, race, and transgenerational healing, this summit equips practitioners and seekers alike with the awareness needed to work with psychedelics in ways that are safe, inclusive, and deeply restorative.
