Events at Borealis
In addition to the main conference, we are planning a series of satellite events, workshops, webinars and gatherings designed to expand your understanding and help you connect with the psychedelic science community.
Workshop on Enhancing Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy with ACT
September 25th - 09:00-17:00 (Registration closes on September 17)
Led by ACT researcher Jason Luoma, PhD, this full-day workshop at Elite Hotel Marina Tower teaches clinicians how to apply ACT’s six core processes, acceptance, defusion, present-moment awareness, self-as-context, values, and committed action, to the preparation, dosing, and integration phases of psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine-assisted therapy. Through concise lectures and hands-on exercises, you’ll learn evidence-based strategies for fostering psychological flexibility, navigate key ethical and cultural considerations, and build practical skills, all over a gourmet lunch and traditional Swedish fika.
Movie Screening - Stepping into the Unknown
September 26th - 19:00
Stepping into the Unknown follows Dr Liknaitzky and his team at Monash University which conducts a trial with psilocybin to treat patients with generalised anxiety disorder. The documentary follows their journey through treatment, including psychedelic dosing sessions, and intense and intimate therapy.
AFTERPARTY
September 27th - 21:30-05:00
The official conference after party will be held at Blivande - a vibrant creative collective and community space that’s become a home for Swedish psychedelic culture. Picture this: you step onto a boat after the conference, glide across the harbor, and arrive at Frihamnen, once an industrial port, but now slowly transforming into a playground for artists. It’s the perfect place to land, connect, and dance together.
