Ecosystem

EPIC is deeply committed to effecting social change through meaningful engagement both within and beyond the psychedelic ecosystem. We extend our insights outside of the academy, engaging diversely to broaden the reach and relevance of our work.

Our thriving Exeter Psychedelic Colloquium meets during term time every other Friday at 3.30pm on Streatham Campus in Exeter, followed by a social event. The series is also available to join online. 

Leadership 

We hold leadership roles in key organisations including:

Outreach

We are all frequent contributors to documentaries, podcasts and talk series.

Events

We participate in workshops, festivals and other events to engage with and expand minds (including our own) outside of EPIC.

We also engage the wider community through creative outputs, for example our ’Psychedelic Mayhem’ event where the EPIC team came together to read our poetry, make music and art and together explore liminal spaces. And through Leor Roseman’s extraordinary peacebuilding work using performance as a collective "grief ritual" with the Ripples Collective.

Conviviality and connection are central to our community.

Visit our Gallery to see some of the EPIC experiences we’ve shared together outside of work.

Conferences

EPIC organises conferences hosted at our University of Exeter campus that shape the future of psychedelic research and culture by convening international researchers, practitioners, and thinkers in spaces of discussion, challenge and constructive debate.

Academic Ecosystem

We are keen collaborators with groups across the globe, with collaborations stretching back in some cases for decades. Some of our key academic collaborators are detailed below:
