Upcoming Events
In 2025, we will be sending Indigenous delegations to several events.
Our Conservation Committee members and partners have important messages to share. We have 15 active partner relationships across 5 keystone biocultures:
— Peyote, Ayahuasca, Iboga, Toad and Mushroom.
Indigenous Medicine Fund Cultural Conservation Assembly (March 13-17, 2025 - closed to public)
Hebbronville, Texas, USA
Our Conservation Committee members, staff, and biocultural partners will gather over 4-days for in-person strategy sessions. This important gathering is the first time our volunteer members and partners will all be in person together and is an important step toward elevating the success of the IMC Fund and ensuring a thriving future for Indigenous peoples, their medicines and knowledges.
MAPS Psychedelic Science 2025 (June 16-20, 2025)
Denver, Colorado, USA
The IMC Fund is curating two full days of Indigenous-led programming to contribute to the conversation and examine the intersections of Indigenous medicine and the psychedelic movement. This is a key audience for our work, as we see the possibility for the psychedelic industry to respond to Indigenous wishes and co-create a movement that is respectful in nature — and not replicate other extractivist, colonial paradigms.
