Psychedelics and Empathic Design: A Female Perspective

In this talk, our speakers explore how psychedelic experiences can expand empathy and reshape the way we approach creativity, design, and innovation. From personal journeys to research and community leadership, we’ll hear how women bring unique insights to this space—and how those perspectives can inspire more compassionate products, services, and systems.

How can altered states of consciousness help us design with greater empathy?
What role do women’s experiences play in shaping more inclusive and sustainable approaches?
And how might psychedelic insights guide the future of creative work and human-centered design?

Speakers: Jennifer Chesak, Tiffany Hurd, Mikaela De La Myco
Moderator: April Pride
