Share your knowledge and creativity

Garden States: Regeneration thrives on community participation. We’re currently inviting submissions for our upcoming conference in late November 2025 from passionate individuals to contribute through lectures, workshops, panel discussions, the arts and wellness activities.

If you have insights, experiences, research or lived experience to share in the realms of ethnobotany, psychedelics, ecology and sustainability, plant and fungi-related practices, consciousness studies, wellness, or any related fields, we encourage you to submit an application. We're seeking diverse perspectives, critical thinking and deep explorations from all walks of life across the above and underground.

Our community values depth, nuance, and thoughtful engagement. While workshops and wellness sessions can be pitched at any level, lecture submissions should aim for moderate to advanced research content.

Market & Food Stalls

Help grow the botanical village

We’re also seeking expressions of interest from market and food stallholders for our 2025 Garden States: Regeneration conference. We invite you to apply if your work is rooted in plants and fungi, ecology and sustainability, psychedelic culture, education and information sharing, or community wellbeing.

From plants and seeds to herbal wares, botanical art to nature-inspired crafts, the Garden States market is a space to share your passion and support a culture of botanical knowledge, earth care, and conscious living.

These stalls help create the village at the heart of Garden States – offering a place to connect, exchange, discuss and celebrate the richness and diversity of the botanical world.
