Melissa Etheridge To Host Inaugural R.I.S.E. Summit On Addiction Treatment Through Psychedelics, Nov. 12 In Irvine, CA

Singer-songwriting rock musician Melissa Etheridge leads the charge for the inaugural R.I.S.E. Summit, hosted by the Etheridge Foundation on Thursday, November 12, in Irvine, California, bringing researchers, clinicians, advocates and more.

“As many of you know, this work is deeply personal to me,” Etheridge says in the announcement. “After losing my son Beckett, I knew I wanted to do something to help other families find hope and new ways to heal.”

The Summit will be headlined by “an intimate fireside conversation” between Etheridge and internationally renowned addiction expert Dr. Gabor Maté and is set to include presentations from leading researchers studying emerging psychedelic-assisted therapies and innovative models of care for addiction.

The event is designed to be accessible to a broad audience and translate cutting-edge science into meaningful conversations about addiction, recovery, trauma, and healing.

The location is only noted as an address, 16500 Scientific Way,” which appears to be a special temporary event venue.

Tickets are on sale now, with early-bird pricing available.

Etheridge’s latest album, Rise, touches on themes including healing, resilience, and hope, reflecting her Foundation’s mission and drawing from her own personal experience.

Representing “Research, Innovation, Science, and Education,” the R.I.S.E. Summit is said to be the largest in-person event dedicated to psychedelic treatments for addiction, a rapidly evolving field.

Etheridge is currently touring with Wynonna Judd, co-headlining the “Raised on Radio Tour.” Etheridge is represented by THE·TEAM and managed by Primary Wave Talent Management.
