Public Speaking

Interested in inviting Ashley to share her knowledge with your audience?

Ashley Booth public speaking on psychedelics with microphone at conference

Ashley holds a broad knowledge of psychedelics in therapeutic, recreational, shamanic, and research contexts. She excels at speaking to the core issues in the field and highlighting nuances that are often glossed over.

When collaborating with event organizers, Ashley is adept at finding and filling holes in the existing programming- creating a more well-balanced presentation of subjects. She is known for bringing grace, authenticity, and courageousness, as well as a sense of humor that is disarming and relatable to diverse audiences. She considers herself a bridge between the broader culture - those who don’t know a lot about psychedelics yet- and the researchers and scientists who may present their knowledge in a more technical and academic approach.

She can speak on a broad range of topics including:

MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and research
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practice and training
Psychedelic preparation and integration
Psychedelic community building
Safety and ethics in psychedelic facilitation for consumers
Education around the use, risks, ethics, facilitation, and research of 5-MeO-DMT
Ibogaine as a tool for addiction treatment and personal growth
Psychedelic harm reduction

Podcast: Psychedelic Medicine

August 19, 2025
In this episode, I dive into the importance of long-term psychedelic integration and how true healing unfolds over time. I share how practices like Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and self-reflection can help turn insights into real-life change. We explore common challenges like rushing the process, psychedelic narcissism, and the pressure to fix yourself quickly. I emphasize that integration isn’t a one-time event—it’s an ongoing journey supported by intention, patience, and community.
