Everything Waiting for You at This Year's Wonderland

We’ve packed Wonderland full of experiences, enjoyment, and amazement. Our goal is to offer much more than the traditional event; it’s to offer connection and community. Whether that comes through yoga, workshops, comedy, soccer, handshaking, games, or artistic expression—well, we’ll leave that up to you.

3 Stages Covering Business, Science, Culture, and More

No matter your interest or education level, we have programming content to fit your background and experience.

Explore the Agenda
Free Workshops for All Attendees

Explore enlightening workshops from a wide range of experts, with CE accreditation options available on select seminars. Explore integration, psychedelic-assisted therapy, or enlightening your relationship.

*Not all workshops are free, some require additional tickets. But we have at least 5 free options with more coming soon. 

Yoga Sessions, Morning Breathwork, and Mindfulness Sessions

Energize and harmonize your body, mind, and spirit with our rejuvenating morning yoga, designed to kickstart your day with intention and positivity. Throughout the day you'll experience wellness sessions and workshops to continue your journey.

Surreal Experiences and Collaborative Art, All within a Psychedelic Village

Introducing a 15,000 sq. ft. collaborative art exhibition! Without giving too much away, Wonderland's Experience Floor will be designed to resemble the outlines of a Psychedelic Village, which can be collaboratively painted by attendees. What would be your contribution to the future of wellness?

A Performance of Shane Mauss' Visual Comedy Show, "A Better Trip"

This hilariously heady event highlights Shane’s personal psychedelic experiences and examines the history, science, and culture of psychedelics … but wait, there's more! It's also accompanied by a vivid display of mind-blowing visuals and custom animations that back the entire performance from Michael Strauss.

Parties, Private Dinners, and Cocktail Hours
Experience our electric atmosphere through nightly parties, intimate private dinners, and a week of satellite events held through Miami Psychedelic Week.
Miami Psychedelic Week
Sunday Soccer! Join Us for a Day of Relaxation, Exercise, and Fun

We've rented a field about a 5-minute walk from the hotel from 11am-5pm on Sunday (the day after the conference) for people to come relax, get some exercise, and enjoy some play time before heading back to reality.

Games to Support Nonprofits

This year, we’ll be adding The Playground, an area with a number of games for people to play. Each time someone wins a game, they will be able to donate $1 to one of five pre-selected nonprofits. At the end of the conference, Wonderland will be donating lump sums to the five organizations based on the selections of attendees.

Merch Store & Book Signings

We're working with select brands to offer a range of different merch, as well as exclusive products not available anywhere else on the planet.

We'll also have signings, with—you guessed it—the opportunity to get signed copies of your favorite books.

The Third Annual Wonderland Awards

Get ready for a night of celebration, entertainment, and connection as we watch the sunset over the gardens of Miami. The Awards will take place early Thursday evening and will open up with cocktails and mingling, followed by comedy and the awards ceremony, ending with music and outdoor games.

Explore the Awards
A Hidden Experience Hunt Integrating Art, Adventure, and Excitement

We've designed a hidden, interactive scavenger hunt—or better yet, an Experience Hunt 🪐—that will take place over the course of our 3-day event. It’s meant to connect you with your mind, body, and soul in ways that you can integrate into your daily lives after the event. Who knows, there may be some prizes involved too.

Access to Everything Through Our Mobile App

Coming soon—use our mobile app for iOS and Android to connect with other attendees, create a personalized agenda, and learn more about the exhibitors and sponsors.
