PT415 – Liana Gillooly – Psychedelic Science 2023: The Largest Psychedelic Conference in History
In this episode, Kyle interviews Liana Gillooly: Strategic Initiatives Officer at MAPS, Board Chair & Founder of the non-profit, North Star, and Advisor to Chacruna’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative.
While she talks about updates in MAPS’ world and how to manage and scale a rapidly growing industry while trying to change a system from the inside, she mostly talks about what she, the rest of MAPS, and a lot of the psychedelic space in general are most excited about right now: Psychedelic Science 2023, the largest psychedelic conference in history, beginning next week in Denver.
She discusses the growth of the conference; why they chose Denver as a location; and how programming has changed over the years to embrace the multiplicity of identities inside the psychedelic space, including much more business content, a culture stage that focuses on how psychedelics interact with the mainstream, various programs put on by community partners, pre- and post- workshops covering an array of topics, and an area they’re calling Deep Space, which was designed to help attendees get out of their heads and more into their bodies.
If you were thinking of attending, this episode should serve as a great inspiration to finally buy a ticket. When you do, be sure to use code PT15 to get 15% off your purchase, and when you’re there, visit us at booth 834 Wednesday through Friday. Joe is hosting a Psychedelic Morning Show with Anne Philippi on Thursday and Friday, and we’re partnering with Lounge CashoM, an all-inclusive environment designed to be a decompression space from that big conference energy.

18:40 "ending WoD is central to MAPS mission" — notable bc many entheogen scholars & startups seem to be invested in perpetual Prohib'n. Next topic: do not use the concept/ presupposition of "counterculture vs mainstream" thats invested in building a barrier between sacrament and "the mainstream"
3:45 the topic is still quite hushed eg do not write much here
Great conversation and information on the upcoming PS23 that many of us are going to.
We have recognize hippy stuff and hippy people as a part of how this can all be happening these days. “Hippy” should not get stigmatized as bad, it is it’s own proud culture and has its sacred place in society. And the 60s were good for many many things and anything that may be perceived as “bad”, is similar to a “bad” trip where it has its own purpose and plays an important role in the past, present and future for growth in many facets.
