On Saturday, October 3, 2026, NeuroAlchemy presents our second annual Psychedelic Freedom Conference in the Grand Ballroom of the University Plaza Hotel & Convention Center in Springfield, Missouri.
Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian brings a rare and powerful perspective to the intersection of public safety, mental health, and emerging psychedelic therapies.
As a veteran law enforcement officer, licensed mental health counselor, police peer-support advocate, and trained practitioner in both MDMA- and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Lt. Gergerian has become a nationally recognized voice for compassionate, evidence-based approaches to trauma, addiction, and community wellness.
His work bridges the worlds of policing, public health, and healing, making him an ideal keynote speaker for the 2026 Psychedelic Freedom Conference’s theme, Knowledge for the Front Lines.
Shane Mauss of Comedy Central’s Tales from the Trip for an exclusive comedy performance and as moderator for several featured panel discussions.
