The Tending the Spiritual workshops provided attendees with a broad overview of approaches to spiritually responsive care tailored to psychedelic settings. This program was featured in the [Harvard Gazette](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/newsplus/center-for-the-study-of-world-religions-brings-psychedelic-chaplaincy-to-forefront/), which provides more information about the pilot workshops and vision of the program.

The September workshop focused on spiritual care training for psychiatrists, MDs, chaplains, and researchers working in clinical psychedelic settings. The December workshop focused on spiritual care training for church leaders, harm reduction specialists, lawyers, and caregivers working in community psychedelic settings.
