About
PSANCTUM
Founded in 2018, Psanctum is a nonprofit psychedelics research, education, and harm reduction organization located in Portland, Oregon.
Psanctum publishes educational articles and videos, curates an online digital archive, and hosts events like the Psanctum Speaker Series, the Psanctum Psychedelic Conference, monthly integration circles, and the weekly Psanctum Open Mic. We also operate Psanctum Thrift, which raises funds for psychedelic-assisted therapy, education, integration, and community support. Psanctum also features an onsite Psychedelic Education Center, which is currently archiving the last materials of the Timothy Leary collection.
We believe psychedelic experiences have the power to heal, inspire, and liberate the human mind, body, and soul. But these substances are only as powerful as our ability to understand, integrate, and support them. Psanctum works to contribute towards building a society where psychedelic experiences, education, and the strong communities necessary to process them, are accessible to all.

Turn On, Tune In,
Help Out.
Since 2018, Psanctum has produced events and created spaces that foster psychedelic education, community, healing, and art. We hosted the Gaian Mind Psychedelic Conference in 2019 (since renamed Psanctum Psychedelic Conference), as well as the Psanctum Open Mic every Monday.
