Women in Psychedelics: The Science

Learn from female researchers and facilitators about the science and application of psychedelic pharmacology and psychedelics therapies for women.

CHARITY PROCEEDS

The intentions with the fundraising effort are to support general operations for Hystelica's research and advocacy efforts, specifically our current study on microdosing for menopause , as well as the development of future educational courses. We are currently developing a course for facilitators and courses on condition specific indications for psychedelics and women's mental health, such as eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.
