Schedule at a Glance
Friday, November 6 — Welcome Event in Breckenridge. Arrive, settle in, and connect with the community.
Saturday–Sunday, November 7–8 — Vital Conference. Two full days of presentations, panels, and practical frameworks from people doing this work in the real world.
Monday–Tuesday, November 9–10 — Music for Expanded States. An optional two-day training on music as a core facilitation skill.
The Conference · November 7–8
Two days of presentations and conversations from across the psychedelic field: education, facilitation, integration, ethics, clinical practice, community models, spiritual care, harm reduction, and the realities of doing this work in the world.
Much of the program comes from the Vital community itself. A limited number of presentation slots are reserved for Vital alumni, selected through a short application sent after registration. Expect case studies, field reports, facilitation frameworks, and lessons learned from experience.
Music for Expanded States · November 9–10
Music is one of the most important and least discussed elements of psychedelic and expanded-state work. It shapes the arc of a session, carries emotional movement, and holds people through difficult territory — and most training programs barely touch it.
This two-day training covers how music supports preparation, journey, and integration; how to build and sequence playlists for expanded-state work; and how to develop a skillful, ethically grounded relationship to music in facilitation and care contexts. Designed for facilitators, clinicians, and practitioners who want music to become a deliberate part of their craft rather than an afterthought.
Who This Is For
Vital alumni and current students. Psychedelic practitioners and educators. Clinicians and therapists working with expanded states. Integration providers, facilitators, and guides. People working in training programs, nonprofits, clinics, and retreat settings — and friends of Psychedelics Today who want to connect with the field in person.

Early November in Breckenridge means first snow on the peaks, quiet streets before the ski crowds arrive, and a community worth traveling for. See you in the mountains.
