As part of the broader “Transcendence and Transformation” initiative, the CSWR’s third annual Psychedelic Intersections conference, “Psychedelic Intersections: Betwixt and Between Chaplaincy, Plant Medicine, and Aesthetics,” commenced on Feb. 15 with a one-day summit at Harvard Divinity School. Highlighting three research tracks — psychedelic chaplaincy, the traditions surrounding Indigenous plant medicines, and psychedelic art and aesthetics — the conference attracted more than 1,000 scholars, practitioners, experts, and policymakers from 24 countries, both in person and online, to advance the mission of psychedelic scholarship.
