What we’ll explore

Make space for
better questions.

Perimenopause can raise questions that reach beyond physical symptoms: about identity, relationships, wellbeing, and what comes next.

If you’re curious about psychedelics, it can be hard to separate emerging research from personal stories and bold promises. This conversation offers a place to start—with context, care, and room for uncertainty.

01 / UNDERSTAND

A fuller picture
of perimenopause

Explore the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of this transition—and why the conversation about support needs to make room for all three.

02 / EXPLORE

The science.
The open questions.

Discuss research into psilocybin, mood, perspective, and connection, including what broader findings can—and cannot—tell us about perimenopause.

03 / CONSIDER

What to ask about
a legal retreat

Understand the role of screening, preparation, facilitation, and integration, with questions to help you evaluate a retreat program more thoughtfully.

Meet your speakers

Research meets retreat perspective.

Before you join

A few things
you might be wondering.

Do I need to know anything about psychedelics?

No prior knowledge is needed. The conversation is designed to offer an accessible introduction, whether this topic is new to you or something you’ve been exploring.

Do I need to be considering a retreat?

No. You’re welcome to join simply to learn. Registering for this webinar does not commit you to applying for or attending a retreat.

Will this webinar offer medical advice?

This is an educational conversation, not individual medical advice or a recommendation to use psychedelics. Questions about your symptoms, treatment, or medications belong with a qualified healthcare professional. If you decide to apply for our program, we have a suitability consultation to talk about personal suitability for our program.

What will we discuss about legal retreats?

We’ll explore how a retreat program is structured and what to ask about screening, preparation, on-site support, and integration. We’ll also discuss why a legal setting alone does not establish whether a retreat is appropriate for an individual.

Start with understanding

You don’t need all the answers to join the conversation.

Explore the questions that matter, with perspectives from psychedelic research and retreat practice.
