What does cutting-edge research say about LSD, MDMA, and other psychedelics as treatments
for pain, anxiety, and trauma?

How is psychedelic research returning to mainstream medicine?

How can you help lay the foundation for the future of psychedelic medicine in Canada and around the world?

Join MAPS Canada for a benefit gala for psychedelic research in Canada. All proceeds from the event will support MAPS Canada’s research on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD and ayahuasca treatment for addiction.

The event will feature a cocktail hour, presentations, and a live auction with fine art, unique collectibles, travel packages, and more. British Columbia artist Autumn Skye Morrison will do a live performance painting that will be sold to one lucky bidder at the end of the evening.

Ticket quantities are limited, and will likely sell out.

  • Rick Doblin, Ph.D. (MAPS founder & executive director)
  • Philip Owen (former mayor of Vancouver)

What do you have in your own secret vault?

This event is a special preview of The Kaleidoscope Vault, MAPS’ first-ever psychedelic adventure auction to be held at CARTOGRAPHIE PSYCHEDELICA, our 25th Anniversary Conference & Celebration in Oakland this December.

We are making an official call for in-kind auction item donations of vacation and timeshare rentals, rare psychedelic memorabilia and collector’s items, gift certificates for local services, and anything else you can offer in support.

Tell us how you can help!
