The 2024 Aspen Psychedelic Symposium began with an opening discussion on the cultural and spiritual roots of plant medicines and psychedelics, as we examine how ancestral traditions continue to shape our relationship with these substances.

Featuring Zach Leary, who grew up in American psychedelic culture, and Tetonwan Lakota Oyate’s Sandor Iron Rope, moderated by Joe Moore of Psychedelics Today. The conversation aimed to inspire a deep appreciation for the many important historical influences on Psychedelics in our society.
