The People of Color Psychedelic Collective invites you to attend Empyrean, a conference for people of color interested in all things psychedelics. POCPC started in November 2017, when Duane David of Society for Exploration of Altered States and Ifetayo Harvey started holding monthly calls for people of color in drug policy & psychedelic movements to come together to reflect on our experiences with race and began building our own movement. Now we invite you to join ours.

We are living in a historical moment in which trauma is being incurred at high levels. People urgently need healing and care. Educating communities on psychedelics and plant medicine will allow people to approach their health and healing in an autonomous way. It will decentralize healthcare so that people can take preventative measures to protect themselves from chronic illnesses that people with exposure to trauma or high levels of stress are susceptible to.
