The past year has brought with it unprecedented change and transformation. For many of us, it has meant adapting to a completely different lifestyle, as we have mastered the art of Zoom and turned our living rooms into offices. It has been an opportunity for us to go inward and explore what truly matters to us as individuals, as well as a time of mass global awakening to racial and social injustices. 

Now, more than ever, people are searching for purpose in their lives, to live out those age-old mantras: “Do what you love”, “Live the dream”, “Follow your passion”. So many of us are desperate to stop putting money in the pockets of the big corporations and instead find a job that allows us to be of service and do something for the greater good. But how do we make that dream a reality?

As psychedelic start-ups are rapidly on the rise and we see increasingly large-scale investments driving industry growth, the psychedelic job market has come alive. And this only looks set to continue as we edge closer to policy reform which could enable the use of psychedelics for medicinal and therapeutic use. Clearly, the psychedelic industry is big business - and with that comes new job opportunities.

In this panel discussion, we will be asking those questions that anyone thinking of transforming their career will want answers to - such as, how do we make the leap from corporate to conscious, and is it really as scary as it seems? How can we do what we love and still make a decent living? What career opportunities and pathways are out there right now in the psychedelic space, and how can we make sure that we stand out from the competition? 

The final 45 minutes will be an audience Q&A, so you can ask our experienced panel your burning questions.
