Psychedelic Feminism Champions Cultural Evolution in the Age of Extinction

This November, the environmental feminist group Cosmic Sister is sponsoring female thought leaders and emerging voices to represent the medicine at Spirit Plant Medicine Conference, November 1 – 3 on the University of British Columbia's Vancouver campus, located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

Cosmic Sister’s Psychedelic Feminism champions women’s empowerment and frontline voices, emphasizing our responsibility—as Earth’s apex predator—to evolve ethically and our natural right to journey with sacred plant (and fungi) such as ayahuasca, cannabis, peyote, iboga and psilocybin mushrooms as a way to jump-start rapid cultural evolution, starting with women.

“Our species is responsible for this age of extinction. A true balance of power across the gender spectrum—globally—is the only way humans (and non-humans) will survive,” said Cosmic Sister founder Zoe Helene, who coined the term Psychedelic Feminism, which she describes as “a realistic, practical, yet hopeful approach to a much-needed shift of global consciousness.”
