Community Events
The week of Horizons boasts a whole constellation of extracurricular events for every cluster of the psychedelic universe.
Offerings include networking socials, film screenings, dinners and brunches, community meet-ups, charity benefits, and, yes, music and parties.
We are grateful to our community allies for creating these activities and making the week a richer experience for everyone.
Our Venue
The New York Academy of Medicine
Established in 1847, the New York Academy of Medicine has been at the forefront of medical research, education, and advocacy for over 175 years.
The building itself is an architectural landmark on the Upper East Side. Its library and archives house valuable collections of rare books, manuscripts, and artifacts, preserving the heritage of medicine and healthcare.
Amenities include a two-tier grand auditorium, ample indoor space for networking and dining, and Central Park just across the street.
About Horizons
Horizons Media, Inc. is a New York-based 501(c)(3) educational charity founded in 2009.
Our mission is to help the public understand the world of psychedelics.
Since 2007, we have created 18 conferences that examine the role of psychedelics in science, medicine, policy, business, culture, and spirituality.
Impact Opportunities
Horizons offers many opportunities for sponsors and donors who want to contribute and connect.
We can facilitate many modalities of year-round and on-site participation and reciprocity.
This support remains essential as registration revenue alone cannot cover the cost of a world-class conference for this growing and important community.
The indigenous history of New York (and psychedelics)
Psychedelics have been used by indigenous communities for thousands of years in the Americas. Horizons has been privileged to collaborate with indigenous leaders who have messages to share with the wider psychedelic community. Our native allies have requested that we include land acknowledgements as part of the work of educating our audience about indigenous topics.

Our venues are situated on the Lenape island of Manhahtaan (Mannahatta) in Lenapehoking, the Lenape homeland. We pay respect to Lenape peoples, past, present, and future and their continuing presence in the homeland and throughout the Lenape diaspora. Due to centuries of colonialism perpetuated by genocide, forced displacement, and systemic oppression, today the Lenape Diaspora is dispersed throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Horizons thanks The Lenape Center for the language in the three above paragraphs, and Markley Boyer and The Mannahatta Project for the above rendering of pre-colonial New York.
