The First Ever Microdosing Summit Is Coming to Austin 🍄

Microdosing for Humanity

For over four years, we've been building a national movement to make microdosing legally and safely accessible for mental health support across America, through education, advocacy, and community.

We are so excited to share: on October 21, 2026, we're gathering in Austin, Texas for The Microdosing Summit, a first-of-its-kind event focused exclusively on low-dose psychedelics. For one intentional day we're bringing together the leading researchers, founders, policy leaders, and culture-makers in the space.

We believe microdosing is one of the most powerful tools we have to stay connected to our humanity, and to each other. That's what this day is dedicated to.

Presented by the Microdosing Collective, Third Wave, the Center for MINDS, and Texans For Greater Mental Health.

Join us with leading voices pushing the movement forward

More than 10 million U.S. adults microdosed in the past year, and sixty-nine percent of everyone who used psilocybin did it in low doses (RAND, 2025). It's one of the fastest-growing wellness practices in the country.

Picture one day on a private hilltop sanctuary across 30 acres of Texas Hill Country, with the researchers behind the studies, the advocates behind the bills, and the founders and practitioners shaping how microdosing shows up in the real world, all in the same place. A curated, cross-sector day of leading voices pushing this movement forward, each in their own way.

A few of the speakers already confirmed:

• Zach Leary, Host of the Psychedelics Then and Now Podcast, Author of Your Extraordinary Mind, Facilitator & Integration Coach

• William Leonard Pickard, Researcher, former Harvard and UCLA drug policy expert and Author of The Rose of Paracelsus

• Tracey Tee, Founder of Moms on Mushrooms (M.O.M.), featured on NPR, Good Morning America, and Rolling Stone
