Located in Victoria, British Columbia, the Victoria Psychedelic Society (VAPS) recognizes our presence on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Lekwungen peoples, notably the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations. Their enduring connection to this land serves as a constant reminder of our responsibilities as guests and the importance of respectful engagement.

We are profoundly grateful to the myriad of Indigenous cultures globally that have, for centuries, revered, utilized and studied plant medicines in their spiritual and medical practices. Their traditions, wisdom, and deep reverence for these tools and processes inspire and inform our work and vision in an ongoing way.

With gratitude, we acknowledge the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and share within this space, emphasizing our commitment to recognizing and respecting the enduring presence of the original stewards of the land we reside on.
