Ixchel will be speaking at the upcoming Psychedelic Culture Conference 2026, hosted by the Chacruna Institute, at the Brava Theater in San Francisco, kicking off on Friday April 17 at 10AM.

This annual three-day gathering brings together researchers, clinicians, healers, Indigenous leaders, activists, and community advocates from around the world to engage in critical conversations shaping the future of psychedelics.

She will be joining Sebastian William Foster and Allana Camba on the Main Stage (Track 1), right after Opening Remarks by Bia Labate, Ph.D and Lorien Chavez, for a discussion titled:

“Global Psychedelic Landscapes: Perspectives from Filipino, South African, and Gabon Traditions”

Ixchel will be speaking about her recent initiation with the women-led branch of the Bwiti Fang tradition of Gabon, the cosmology of the spiritual clinic, and what it means to carry forward a form of care that is rigorous, relational, and rooted in lineage.

Key areas of the conference include:
• Indigenous reciprocity & biocultural conservation
• Psychedelic justice, law & policy
• Women, LGBTQ+ & Global South perspectives
• Ceremony ethics & community-based practice
• Neuroscience and shamanism dialogues
