A 2-day CONFERENCE exploring
psychedelics as a framework for flourishing
Flourishing+Psychedelics invites us to reflect on the profound interplay between the human mind, intentionality, and our capacity for transformation. Flourishing is not merely the absence of suffering but an active engagement in creating meaningful, compassionate, and interconnected lives. Psychedelics, when approached with care and purpose, can serve as tools to deepen this engagement by offering a window into non-ordinary states of consciousness that challenge our default perspectives and reconnect us to a broader sense of being.
Through these extraordinary states, individuals can explore the architecture of their subjective experience, gaining insights into how deeply embedded narratives shape their reality. This self-awareness fosters an ability to intentionally craft a life aligned with values of empathy, generosity, and purpose, including a YES to the unknown. Psychedelics also bridge the personal and the collective by dissolving boundaries, allowing for a direct experience of Interbeing—a sense that one’s flourishing is inseparable from the well-being of others and the world.
From this lens, psychedelics are not ends in themselves but catalysts that open pathways for deliberate growth. They remind us that flourishing is a practice, requiring courage to confront inner truths, humility to embrace uncertainty, and a commitment to integrate these experiences into daily life. By balancing scientific inquiry with spiritual traditions, we can envision a future where psychedelics help us collectively reimagine flourishing as a shared and dynamic process of becoming.

The Venue
The Frontier Tower,
Berlin House
14th Floor | Human Compassion+Flourishing
995 Market Street, San Francisco, CA
A 92,000 sqft, 16-floor tower in the heart of SF is being transformed to provide frontier-tech communities with the space to build, grow, and thrive. This citizen-only vertical village will serve as the first node in a network state spanning multiple cities. Established communities in AI, biotech, crypto, longevity, deep tech, human compassion & flourishing, neuroscience, music & art will each be allocated a 4,250 sqft floor—a blank canvas for pioneers to shape the future of society in a post-AI singularity world.
Four floors will be dedicated to cross-pollination, including a lounge for meetings, a social hangout, a deep-work space, and a collaborative floor. The remaining floors will feature wellness areas, event spaces, multi-use rooms, and co-living facilities, pending city approval.
Berlin House
In the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, tens of thousands of people left East Berlin, leaving hundreds of buildings unoccupied. This vacancy gave rise to vibrant communities that created clubs, art spaces, collectives, and hacker houses which makes Berlin so special. Today, a similar opportunity is emerging in downtowns worldwide, where empty office spaces are becoming the new frontier. Now is our chance to reclaim these spaces, redefine urban living, and foster deeper connections in our cities. That’s why it is called Berlin House.
