A few common questions.
Do I need to know anything about psychedelics to attend?
No. The day starts with accessible introductions and welcomes honest questions. You can come to learn, connect with support, or understand the options a loved one is exploring.
Is this an event where treatments are given?
This is an education and community event. Talks, stories, resource booths, and wellness activities help you explore the landscape. Individual treatment decisions happen separately with an appropriate care team.
Will there be a film screening?
The current working program centers on physician talks, research, lived-experience stories, and community resources. A screening is not listed in this draft agenda.
Can I attend just the public portions of the guide?
Yes. The schedule, introductory learning, community profiles, and support resources are open without guide signup. The deeper Summit Guide asks for your name, email, and guide follow-up permission.
