Friends of EGA
We would like to thank the following organisations for supporting EGA:
Kahpi
Kahpi is a learning hub dedicated to the Amazonian brew, ayahuasca. Our online courses and articles cover everything from the culture to the science of the brew.
Nimbin Hemp Embassy
The Nimbin HEMP Embassy was created in 1992 in the tiny village of Nimbin in Northern NSW, Australia. The Embassy’s objectives are cannabis law reform through educating the community about the cannabis plant and hemp, and promoting a more tolerant and compassionate attitude toward people in general.

Nimbin Mardigrass
The Nimbin MardiGrass is an annual cannabis law reform protest rally & celebration. Our mission is to bring about change with as much fun as possible. Beginning in 1993, MardiGrass is held on the first weekend in May every year to protest the drug laws, educate people on the various uses of cannabis, and to celebrate the alternative culture that has grown around this village since the Aquarius Festival in 1973.

The MOB (MardiGrass Organising Body) and Nimbin's HEMP Embassy are both volunteer-led and not-for-profit, and all about changing the vile laws on weed.

Daily Grind
Daily Grind has rolled with Adelaide's skaters since '96, and we continue to be Adelaide's foremost family-owned skate and surf shop.
Our commitment to both sports remains unwavering, our shops are staffed by riders, our teams are all locals, and our range is packed with collaborations with mates and a couple of madmen we can't shake.
We love our Shops and a majority of our customers, they inspire us to keep riding and sharing the feeling that only a rider knows.
Neither skateboarding or surfing has much future in a decimated environment, nothing does, something we're acutely aware of and do our best to refrain from contributing too. We're far from perfect but we're busting our ass to try and get our intentions and abilities closer aligned.
ENTHEOGENESIS AUSTRALIS
Entheogenesis Australis is a charitable, educational organisation established in 2004. We provide opportunities for critical thinking and knowledge sharing on ethnobotanical plants, fungi, nature and sustainability.
Through our conferences and workshops, we aim to celebrate the culture, science, art, politics and community around medicine plants, in the hope of improving wellbeing for both humankind and the planet.
