This participatory workshop invites anyone working in or alongside psychedelic healing spaces - therapists, healers, facilitators, guides, trip sitters, and others - to come together in the spirit of shared imagination and collaboration, to co-make stories for the future of psychedelic healing in Australasia.
The Tomorrow Party is a co-design method developed by researchers at Monash University’s Wonderlab. Rooted in speculative storytelling and narrative time-travel, the method invites participants to imagine themselves in near-future scenarios in order to collaboratively craft “tomorrow stories” - generating hopeful visions of what could be, and practical tools for getting there. These stories become threads through which we rehearse agency, cultivate optimism, and share responsibility for shaping the future.
In this special edition of the Tomorrow Party, Wonderlab collaborates with Indigenous Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies (IPAT) to explore how Indigenous and Western approaches to co-design, space-making, and storytelling might be interwoven. Through guided prompts, reflective dialogue, and embodied exercises, participants will co-create a temporary but intentional safe space for deep listening, dreaming, and weaving new understandings of what future psychedelic practice might look and feel like.
Held with care and cultural sensitivity, this workshop invites participants into a process of mutual learning and imagination - one that strengthens the fibres of community and honours the diverse knowledges that sustain this work.
