Educational events
The OpenMind Initiative is committed to creating a diverse and inspiring programme of events that brings together science, art, and community. We aspire to host a wide range of experiences including educational lectures, immersive art exhibitions, live music events, hands-on workshops, and professional training opportunities. These events are designed to inform, inspire, and connect—offering something for everyone, whether you're new to the field or already deeply engaged.
Attend one of our upcoming events to learn from leading experts in psychedelic research, mental health, and consciousness studies. Explore powerful visual art in our community-led exhibitions, experience sound in a new way through music curated to reflect altered states, or discover how you can contribute to the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy through specialist training.
At the heart of all our events is a desire to build understanding, reduce stigma, and foster a vibrant, inclusive community dedicated to thoughtful, ethical psychedelic exploration.
Celebration of the Arts
Coming Soon: Sound & Vision in the Psychedelic Space
At the Psychedelic Research Foundation, we’re excited to explore how art and music intersect with altered states of consciousness. While dates are still TBC, we’re actively planning immersive events in Leeds that promise to be as inspiring as they are insightful.
Soundscapes of Altered States will feature curated music experiences designed to evoke and reflect psychedelic journeys—from ambient textures to deep rhythmic explorations. Expect a blend of live performance, guided listening, and sonic storytelling.
The Psychedelic Palette: A Journey in Colours and Forms will showcase visual art inspired by expanded states of awareness. We'll collaborate with local artists to create an exhibition celebrating colour, emotion, and the inner landscape.
These events aim to connect science, creativity, and community—and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Stay tuned for announcements and opportunities to get involved!
