Thank You to Conference Volunteers, Performers & Facilitators

Naropa University’s success at the 2023 Psychedelic Science Conference would not have been possible without the countless staff, students, faculty, and alumnx who stepped into this journey with open hearts. These individuals cultivated new perceptions and created moments of connection, contemplation, and play.

Whether you were part of the Happenings Troupe, Deep Space, the Contemplative Space team, or Headmaze, thank you for bringing your presence, wisdom, and creativity to create a more beautiful and just future. Learn more about what they created.

Our deepest gratitude goes to Liana Gillooly at MAPS for believing in our vision and helping us bring it to life.

Naropa Campuses Closed on Friday, March 15, 2024

Due to adverse weather conditions, all Naropa campuses will be closed Friday, March 15, 2024. All classes that require a physical presence on campus will be canceled. All online and low-residency programs are to meet as scheduled.

Based on the current weather forecast, the Healing with the Ancestors Talk & Breeze of Simplicity program scheduled for Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday will be held as planned.
