- Join us for Melbourne's Psychedelic Research Seminar & Dinner -
The first event in Australia dedicated to raising awareness and funds to make psychedelic therapy a legal treatment within Australia and worldwide.
We are bringing the Melbourne scientific and psychedelic communities together to help the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and the Australia-based, Psychedelic Research in Science and Medicine (PRISM) raise funds for research into MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
In addition to raising funds for vital research, we also want to help reduce stigma and enhance public understanding of the risks and beneficial uses of psychedelics for science, healing, spirituality, creativity, and personal growth.
- The Event-
The night will consist of an exciting seminar series from Australian experts in the field of psychedelic research. Following talks, guests will have the opportunity to dine and chat with speakers, researchers, clinicians, and other guests interested in psychedelic science. A time to gather the community, share stories and learn about this burgeoning field.
The dinner will be held at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, University of Melbourne. Australia’s leading neuroscience research institute.
- Where will my Donation go? -
For the entire month of April 2016, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) are running a global fundraiser “Global Psychedelic Dinners to fund the final phase 3 trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Phase 3 involves the training of 200 specialist therapists to carry out therapeutic MDMA sessions and the purchase of a 1kg of medical grade MDMA. It is the final step before MDMA assisted psychotherapy will be approved by the FDA as a medical treatment.
In Australia, Psychedelic Research in Science and Medicine (PRISM), are in ethics approval procedures to begin phase 1 trials is Australia. It is vital Australia not fall behind the rest of the world in this important research. Due to the politics surrounding psychedelics neither MAPS nor PRISM will receive government funding nor will major pharmaceutics fund the research as MDMA is off patent.
