Welcome to the fourth edition of Fuertedélica, an international conference on psychedelics and mental health.

Fuertedélica 2025: The Varieties of the Psychedelic Experience

The psychedelic experience is not limited to the course of the session: it is a journey that begins before and continues after. Its impact also depends on two other fundamental phases: preparation, which shapes what will happen during the experience, and integration, which allows the experience to be transferred to everyday life. In its fourth edition, Fuertedélica 2025 will dive into the deep oceans of the psychedelic experience, the event itself will be a complete psychedelic experience, through its essential structure: preparation, initiation and integration.

Today, psychedelic exploration presents multiple scenarios: clinical and therapeutic environments, festivals and raves, introspective and self-knowledge spaces, shamanic and religious practices, spiritual search processes, scientific research and clinical trials, among others. Fuertedélica 2025 will address this diversity from a cross-cutting and participatory perspective, offering a space for debate, exchange of ideas and networking.

The Corralejo Auditorium, with capacity for 400 attendees, is consolidated as the epicenter of Fuertedélica.

To this end, we have reduced the number of presentations and extended the time for discussion and active participation. We will have keynote lectures that will address the psychedelic experience from a holistic perspective, as well as our traditional table of young researchers and a space for poster presentations.

In addition, Fuertedélica 2025 will offer workshops and parallel activities, which will be announced on our website and social networks. And, as every year, we will close with a big celebration, saying goodbye to Fuertedélica 2025 and welcoming the next cycle: Fuertedélica 2026.

Welcome to Fuertedélica 2025! Get ready, dive in, transcend.

We invite visitors to submit their scientific posters! Send us an email with the title of your paper and an abstract.
