About us
The Toronto Psychedelic Society (TPS) is a diverse, multidisciplinary community of academics, students, researchers, artists, therapists, teachers, counselors and others with a shared interest in psychedelics. We seek to provide more opportunity for our members to learn more about the multifaceted aspects of psychedelics.
We are a community that contributes our passion, ideas and courage to help others heal, to support psychedelic science, to educate and inform, and to have the freedom to explore our own consciousness.
We have many communities of interest:
> Education: de-stigmatization, community, outreach, harm reduction
> Entrepreneurs
> Artists and musicians
> Science: psychedelic medicine , clinical research, fundraising
> Integration: therapy, consciousness, integration and psychology
> Events: communications, social media, and operations
We believe that psychedelics can be used safely when users are knowledgeable and informed. Stigmatization of users and half-baked ideas arise from ignorance. We believe in communicating fair and honest messages about the safe use of psychedelics.
We create safe spaces where we can have psychedelic conversations. We host spaces to talk about personal experiences, and sponsor supportive integration circles. We believe integration is the key to learning from psychedelic experiences.
We host a stage for the discussion and dissemination of psychedelic science. We support psychedelic research undertaken by MAPS Canada (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), Maps USA, The Beckley Foundation, The Heffter Institute and other sources of valid scientific enquiry.
We encourage engagement. We are a community of free-thinking, open- minded people. So engage with us!

Featured event

Healing Mushroom Ceremony - 'Living a Fully Expressed, Creative Life'
Facilitated by Chris Dub & Marda Sperber
FULL DETAILS HERE
This ceremony will support you to nurture and strengthen the new pathways you are choosing to take mentally, physically and spiritually to ensure you are a living a life that feels in rhythm with your body and soul. Receive the support you need to let go of the pain, hurt, sense of unworthiness & not enoughness, as well as the struggle we can all feel victim to at times.
Immerse yourself into a space of love, forgiveness, and compassion, unlearning the ways you've been taught to judge your very human emotions and thoughts. You deserve to feel the love and support that's all around you, so you can bring forward the gifts and purpose you came here to share.
The mind can be sticky, but when you experience genuine love it clarifies any confusion of who you truly are. This ceremony is an opportunity for just that: to open up to the authentic love that is innate within you, which opens up your heart, and helps you gain control of the mind.
### Energies that could potentially arise in ceremony
Shamanic medicine ceremonies may open access to a wide range of emotional, somatic, energetic, and spiritual experiences. Each journey is unique, and all expressions are welcomed within a container of safety, consent, and compassionate presence.
Energies that may arise:
- Emotional release such as grief, joy, anger, relief, or deep peace
- Memories or imprints from early life, ancestral lineages, or collective experiences
- Somatic sensations including trembling, heat, cold, expansion, or energy moving through the body
- Kundalini life-force activation, energetic attunements, and realignment
- Encounters with inner archetypes, sacred geometry, spirit guides, animal allies, or symbolic imagery
- Awareness of repetitive patterns or subconscious conditioning
- Messages from past loved ones or benevolent guiding energies
- States of expanded awareness, unity, stillness, or heightened intuition
- Heart opening, deep surrender, electromagnetic field expansion, and embodied presence
All energies arise only as each participant is ready to meet them and are supported within a regulated, grounded, and loving field.
Truly forgive yourself, learning to love the darker aspects that are rising to be seen and witnessed.
Cultivate a deeper love for the past versions of you, as well as others who have negatively impacted you. Gratitude is the open door to freedom, and when you recognize the gifts of the lessons life has given you - it becomes easier to let go of the anger, resentment, and regret. As you unravel what has been tight within you, there is a natural alchemy that takes place within the body. Energy blocks and stagnation are unfurled, allowing you to open to more love, and the flow of vital life force energy. You will feel a loving space to heal and process through old traumas, ancestral karma, and become more astutely aware of ego identification, leading to more freedom, peace, and simplicity.
Release negative thought patterns, rewiring your nervous system for peace, harmony, and balance.
Be held in safe space so you can look at the negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that hold you back from feeling your freest, clearest, most alive and fully expressed self. Regulate your system through the awareness of breath, body (all levels - mental, emotional, physical & energetic), your 5 senses, and extrasensory perceptions.
As you re-balance and re-align your system you will be able to see your internal experience more clearly, and also recognize why other people are the way they are, allowing you to have more compassion and forgiveness both for others and yourself.
The more aware you are, the better regulated you are, and from that space you can become the master of your domain.
You deserve the space and time to simply be, rest, rejuvenate, and feel the aliveness of living life moment by moment for YOU!
You are fully supported throughout the entire journey.
This ceremony includes the optional combination of pure MDMA along with the psilocybin mushrooms. We have found these medicines work very synergistically together, and offer an amplified level of heart opening. The pure MDMA is optional, and the dosing for both medicines will be based upon your intentions, disposition, prior experience, and current state at the time of the ceremony.
After this ceremony you will feel more love for yourself and others, with a heightened sense of courage, strength, and integrity. You will want to make better choices, and also have the self-awareness needed to stay accountable to yourself. This level of love and clarity will emanate out to reach and impact all those closest to you.
This is an invitation to open up your heart, and love and forgive yourself through unconditional acceptance. To awaken to your divinity and beauty, and access your greatest gifts of self-healing and conscious creatorship.
Ceremony Preparation & Integration
Prior to the ceremony you will receive an in-depth plant medicine workbook to help you prepare, questions to ask yourself and a recommended diet to support your experience.
We will meet as a group before the ceremony for an Intention Setting Call, to connect with each other and share our intentions for the journey. You will also receive a nervous system regulating practice that supports in expanding internal awareness, grounding, centering and overall mindfulness.
Following the Ceremony we will have an Integration Call to support and hold space for continued breakthroughs, challenges and dream weaving.

Don't miss this chance to learn, reflect, and connect with others interested in healing journeys!
Guest speakers Gordon Hurley and Jonathan Dickinson will share their personal experiences of providing and receiving this treatment, offering first-hand perspectives on care, recovery, and resilience.
Speakers:
Jonathan Dickinson is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Ambio Life Sciences. One of the world’s leading experts on ibogaine, Jonathan brings over 15 years of experience in clinical care, traditional practice, and psychedelic research to his leadership at Ambio. A Mexico-licensed psychologist and former Executive Director of the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance. At Ambio, he leads strategy, research, and innovation – advancing a globally scalable model of care that bridges tradition, science, and integrity.Gordon Hurley served nearly 15 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, including time in special operations as an Operator and Joint Terminal Attack Controller. After his medical release in 2021, he co-founded All The Way Factory Inc. with his wife and became deeply involved in veteran mental health advocacy. Gordon serves on the board of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment Association and as Head of Engagement for Heroic Hearts Canada, championing veteran access to psychedelic-assisted therapy. He is also an instructor for the MAPS Canada School of Psychedelics course: Cannabis and Psychedelics in Canada: Mechanisms of Action, Clinical Research and Therapeutic Applications.
The evening also includes a free screening of In Waves and War — a powerful documentary featuring veterans and families navigating trauma, healing, and hope through psychedelic-assisted therapy.
About the film:
Highly decorated Navy SEAL Marcus Capone returns from Afghanistan and attempts to readjust to civilian life. But years of unprecedented warfare have left Marcus with treatment-defiant PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and severe depression beyond what current government treatment options can effectively address. Fearing for Marcus' life, his wife, Amber, finds hope in a ground breaking therapy combining two powerful psychedelics unapproved for use in the U.S., but with seemingly limitless applications. Inspired by Marcus' remarkable recovery but still confronted with the alarming rate of veteran suicide in their community, Marcus and Amber embark on a new mission: providing access to this lifeline. Alongside intimate interviews, captivating animation, and first-of-its-kind research at Stanford's Brain Stimulation Lab, In Waves and War, from Jon Shenk and Bonni Cohen (Athlete A, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power), is the emotional, inspiring odyssey of three American heroes as they overcome the after effects of war and rediscover their humanity.Tickets prices:
Ticket options include donation-based pricing for students, seniors, and low-income attendees, and free admission for veterans and first responders.
