Tulsa, OK, USA
The “psychedelic spring” is in full bloom, and PSoAR has been busy cultivating connections both across state lines and right here at home. From scholarly presentations in Kansas to upcoming gatherings in our own backyards, there is a lot to celebrate this month.
Last month, PSoAR leaders Joseph Hood and Beth Day traveled to Lawrence, Kansas, to present at the Kansas Consciousness Conference. Their session, “Psychedelics, Religion, and the Law,” delved into the complex legal and cultural tensions surrounding psychedelic substances in the U.S. They explored the critical intersection where drug policy meets religious freedom, inviting a deep dive into how ceremonial use is navigated in the modern legal landscape.
The spirit of collaboration didn’t stop at the podium. Joseph and Beth also sat on a regional panel alongside leaders from across the Heartland. Since our Decriminalizing Consciousness Symposium last year, a network has been organically growing between leaders in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
We informally call ourselves PATH—the Psychedelic Alliance of the Heartland. This alliance includes:
Missouri: Psychedelic Society of the Ozarks (PSOTO), Psychedelic Society of Kansas City, and Psychedelic STL (St. Louis).
Kansas: Lawrence Psychedelic Society.
Oklahoma: Oklahoma Psychedelic Collective.
Arkansas: Psychedelic Society of Arkansas (PSoAR)
And we welcome other groups we haven’t connected with yet! By sharing ideas, resources, legislation best practices, and conference support, PATH ensures that the “psychedelic ecosystem” of the Heartland remains strong and informed.
Speaking of our PATH partners, we want to encourage all PSoAR members to attend the Open Plains Symposium in Tulsa on June 26–27.
Get Involved: Submissions are currently open! Apply to tell a story at the Friday night Psychedelic Salon or present a topic at the Symposium on Saturday.
Deadline: Submissions must be in by May 15th. Don’t wait!
