PAST EVENT
The Canadian Psychedelic Association grew from a diverse group of individuals all wanting to do their part to usher psychedelics into the mainstream in a conscious and considered way. Their founding team includes people who have been active in Vancouver’s vibrant psychedelic community for decades, as well as medical and therapeutic professionals who are newer to the scene, but through their own experiences and research are waking up to the value of these powerful modalities.
In late 2019, they officially became a Canadian not-for-profit organization. They recognize the audacity of creating a national organization of this nature and at the same time feel that Canada is the perfect place for such an entity to be born. The professional psychedelic community is already well connected in Canada and there is opportunity to foster some real cohesion moving forward. They respect the incredible healing potential of these sacred substances, and hope to nurture a thriving community of people all dedicated to realizing the full potential of humanity.
Hope you enjoyed the stream, take a look at what we have from the event!
WATCH THE REPLAY
Join Carlos Plazola and Larry Norris, the leaders of the US Decriminalization Nature movement and Trevor Millar and Salimeh Tabrizi of the Canadian Psychedelic Association for an inspiring conversation on the successful Decriminalization Nature Movement in the US. In Denver, Colarado, as well as Oakland, and Santa Cruz, California history was made by decriminalizing psilocybin mushrooms and all federal Schedule I psychedelics. Now nearly 100 cities are considering decriminalization. What will be next for the decrim movement? Will cities such as Chicago, Portland and Dallas be next?
What does the Decriminalization Nature Movement in Canada look like and what is the latest news?
Decriminalize Nature Canada, a multidisciplinary coalition of scientists, mental health workers, healers and advocates has launched a national initiative to decriminalize plant medicines. Their goal is to garner the signatures of 500,000 Canadians by August 16, 2020. The e-petition which was launched in March 2020, currently has over 6,300 signatures and is backed by MP Paul Manly and doctors such as Dr. Gabor Mate and Dr. Evan Wood of the BC Center for Substance Use.
During this powerful time of human evolution and transition on our planet, many of us are being greatly supported and guided by plant and fungi medicines. These entheogens and allies such as Ayahuasca, Cannabis, Mushrooms, San Pedro, and Iboga are helping humans to heal on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level. Whether it is healing and overcoming cancer, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, end of life anxiety, and grief, these entheogens are supporting humans to step into their greater self-healing, empowerment, health, wellness, and awakening.
These medicines are encouraging humans to remove blocks to separation and instead open their hearts to a more unified and harmonious way of living with themselves, others and our planet.
Join us to be part of the conversation and explore ways that you can take part in this powerful initiative and movement!
