Healing for All: World Psychedelics Day and the Call for UNified Collaboration

With the growth of the psychedelic movement comes a growing responsibility: to expand and evolve how we work together—to move in harmony toward the shared goal of healing for all.In this session with the founders and directors of World Psychedelics Day 620, Mark Achbar—internationally acclaimed, award-winning filmmaker and social impact strategist, best known for the documentaries Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media and The Corporation—joins Shannon Smadella, award-winning executive and MBA researcher on ethical leadership in the psychedelic space. Together, they offer a compelling perspective on how we can move forward together—guided by the values of integrity, inclusivity, and collaboration that underpin World Psychedelics Day.World Psychedelics Day, held each year on June 20th, is a global initiative that brings together diverse voices to bridge science and the sacred, research and ritual, commerce and community. This session invites attendees to rediscover their “why”—and leave with tangible actions, including a global petition for UN recognition of World Psychedelics Day, to help build a more ethical, inclusive, and unified future for psychedelic healing.This session also marks the 5th anniversary of World Psychedelics Day and will culminate in a powerful collective moment—bringing together respected voices from across the psychedelic movement to share a unified vision for the future of healing (for all). With a closing that promises connection, inspiration, and a sense of shared purpose, this is a moment not to be missed.
