with Festival Co-Director, Téana David

Emerging and established voices in the psychedelic space come together to discuss the healing potential of entheogens and their transformative applications for trauma, depression, addiction, and end-of-life care, as well as personal enrichment and expansion.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Buy Merch, Plant Two Trees!

Be part of our 2022 philanthropy mission: to plant one million trees.

Help support our Festival partner TreeSisters — and look good doing so — with official Shift Your World Film Festival merch!

This collector-quality apparel collection brings together fashion and impact through innovative, eco-friendly textiles — each piece is made from post-consumer recycled fibers, including recycled cotton, polyester, and plastic bottles.

Best of all, for each item you purchase, you’ll be planting two trees.

We’ve committed to donating $1 for each item sold to TreeSisters, a UK charity that focuses on tropical reforestation efforts and women’s empowerment.

Our goal is to help plant one million trees this year — and we’ve already planted over 250,000 through our efforts.

Will you help us reach our “one million trees” goal?

We once had six trillion trees on our planet. We’re down to three trillion. Building a global movement to plant more trees gives us more time to avert the worst of climate change.

TreeSisters isn’t just planting trees (though they’ve already planted well over 20 million on three continents!) — they’re also empowering communities to make much bigger, critically needed systemic changes from the grassroots up.
