Entheogenesis Australis (EGA) is pleased to announce that we will be holding an outdoor ethnobotanical conference in 2025. For decades, our iconic outdoor events have earned a special place in people's hearts and minds as special gatherings run by and for the community.

The Garden States: Regeneration conference is scheduled for Friday, November 28th, to Monday, December 1st, 2025. Be sure to mark these dates in your calendar! This is an outdoor, camping-based educational conference where attendees stay among the trees and under the stars, all on one site close to Melbourne, learning and growing together.

The conference will be held approximately 75 minutes southeast of the Melbourne CBD. The outdoor EGA conferences are legendary, occurring only once every few years. As the organisation celebrates its 21st year, attendees from across Australia are expected to attend this very special botanical gathering.

This year, we are excited to present a distilled event drawing on years of experience to provide a temporary academic space in the trees. Our aim is to create a forum for cultivating ethnobotanical plants, knowledge, and community. We hope to create a community gathering focused on bringing people together to share plants, seeds, and related knowledge, all while camping out in the Australian bushland. This in-person event will feature lectures, workshops, discussion panels/groups and art, all carefully curated to support your journey in planting seeds for earth, body, and mind.

We invite those interested in attending to register their interest by completing a very short form. We'll email you when tickets become available and when we launch the conference website for this year's gathering, ensuring you are first in line to obtain one of the strictly limited tickets.

The EGA conference is internationally recognised as one of the longest-running ethnobotanical and psychedelic conferences in the world. Past conferences have drawn luminaries from Australia and beyond. We invite you to join us once again to co-create something very special.

Please share this form with anyone who might be interested in attending or who you believe would make an ideal program contributor at this special event. We hope to see you among the trees, and we will keep you updated as plans unfold.
