If ever there was a space ripe with opportunity for design, it’s one where intentional (mind)set and setting are critical to the quality of the user experience. However, foundational design decisions are being made today that will shape the ways psychedelics come to exist in our healthcare systems, and everyday lives, without strong design thought leadership involved in the conversation (yet). 

This course offers students a unique creative playground for us to explore the broad landscape of opportunities that exist across mental health and wellness, policy, business, technology, culture, nature, plant medicines, and people. While on a personal level, we seek to empower students to consider how these emergent plant-based healing modalities may help humans learn how to mindfully navigate, design, and thrive during times of great disruption and mental distress.

This class is for people interested in exploring possibilities across the ecosystem of psychedelic medicine, including people who may not traditionally identify themselves as designers -  mental health / wellness practitioners,  government policymakers, venture builders, those who are psychedelic medicine-curious, and of course fierce social justice and equity advocates who are pushing for spiritual development through sacred plants.
