Resources
LIVE-PATH employs regular dialogue to create a trustworthy hub of knowledge related to psychedelic therapies and their applications in traditional medicine and clinical practice.
Resources will continue to develop over time and are intended to support informed, contextual, and community-aware discussion. Browse topics on regulations and policy, the history of psychedelics, see how the network uses Indigenous-aligned methods, and browse our upcoming events.
LIVE-PATH Foundations: The 2026 Inaugural Gathering Report
The first LIVE-PATH Network Gathering brought members together to establish relationships, share ongoing work, and begin defining how the Network will operate. Held in Canmore, Alberta (Treaty 7), the gathering focused on building a shared foundation rather than producing finalized outputs. Pre- and post-retreat surveys were conducted to identify key themes, areas of interest, challenges, and guiding principles.
