SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO—APRIL 30, 2025 Limina Foundation today announced The Enchanted State: Expanding New Mexico’s Psychedelic Legacy, a groundbreaking gathering designed to assess and accelerate the psychedelic movement’s momentum in New Mexico and beyond. The conference will bring together researchers, educators, policy makers, artists, philanthropists, and wisdom bearers, and is scheduled to take place from 12:30 pm to 6:30 pm on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at the historic Lensic Performing Arts Center in downtown Santa Fe. Tickets for the event are on sale now at https://lensic.org/events/the-enchanted-state. All proceeds from the gathering will be used to benefit people with the potential to heal through psychedelic therapies.
Psychedelics play a transformative and expanding role in the way we think about mental health, addiction recovery, healing, culture, and the spiritual dimensions of consciousness. The New Yorker writes: “The contemporary psychedelic movement shimmers…with next-big-thing energy, much of it centered less on freestyle tripping than on medicalized treatment.” New Mexico has long been home to sacred and ceremonial psychedelic traditions elevating vision, healing, and prayer. It was also where Dr. Rick Strassman at the University of New Mexico conducted the first FDA-approved trials of DMT in the 1990s, helping to reopen the doors for the legal scientific study of psychedelics. In April 2025, Senate Bill 219, which creates a regulated system for patients to access psilocybin under the care of a licensed healthcare provider, was signed into law by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Some 800+ participants are expected to convene at The Enchanted State for a day of learning, discovery, and discussion about New Mexico’s unique potential to drive future innovation in psychedelic therapy.
