Help us celebrate 10 years!

PIR® has grown into a global fellowship rooted in connection, service, and recovery. This convention offers something deeper than a meeting: a space to come together intentionally, to reflect on how far we’ve come, and to shape where we’re going. Over four days in Denver, and accessible worldwide online, we will create a space that reflects the heart of PIR®: community, healing, and shared wisdom.

What attendees will experience:

Advance Your Recovery! Participate in recovery-centric programming including topic workshops, main speaker meetings, community-building fun events and breakout discussion panels.
Share Experience! YOU can contribute to the recovery of local and worldwide attendees by volunteering to lead a workshop or assemble a panel on a recovery topic! (See signup on registration form.)
Build a Community! Join us in Denver to meet people in person who have only been Zoom boxes up to now! Make recovery friends and share support as we grow and heal together.
See Colorado and Legal Psychedelic Therapy! Local volunteers will offer you opportunities to go on guided outdoor activities, outings to arts and culture experiences, and visits to facilities involved in the local natural medicine industry. Come to Denver on Thursday Oct. 8 so you’re ready for a day of fun activities on Friday the 9th!
Live-Streaming! For those unable to attend in person, we will be live streaming portions of the convention. Estimated in-person attendance is 200 people, with an additional 500+ expected online worldwide!
The convention aims to bring together the many leaders and volunteers who continue to work tirelessly to grow the organization and support your recovery. If you’re on a committee or are interested in a deeper level of participation, this convention will be a great opportunity to participate in PIR’s future!
