Womens Visionary Council
Womens Visionary Council is a nonprofit organization focused on community development. It is based in Berkeley, CA. It received its nonprofit status in 2008.
The Women's Visionary Council (WVC) is a nonprofit organization focused on research, education, and advocacy related to entheogenic plants and substances, often referred to as psychedelics. The council comprises a network of women who are scholars, researchers, healers, activists, and artists, all interested in the exploration of these substances' potential for healing, personal growth, and spiritual development.
The WVC conducts various educational events, conferences, and gatherings that center on the responsible and informed use of entheogens. They aim to promote dialogue, research, and understanding of these substances, particularly from a gender-inclusive and diverse perspective.
Their work often involves exploring the historical and cultural contexts of entheogenic plant use, addressing issues of social justice and equity within the psychedelic community, and advocating for informed and ethical engagement with these substances.
The Women's Visionary Council plays a crucial role in fostering discussions, sharing knowledge, and promoting a balanced approach to the study and use of entheogens, emphasizing safety, responsibility, and respect for indigenous traditions and cultural contexts.
