Hena Malik ’22

A Muslim in the psychedelic space, yearning to learn more about the potentials of plant based medicine. Hena completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Florida in Biology, also holds a degree in Arts and Humanities, and is pursuing her master’s at the University of Wisconsin Madison in their Psychoactive Pharmaceutical Investigation program. Hena currently works for the Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines and has worked with organizations including SSDP & DanceSafe. While promoting harm reduction and learning about the power of these sacred medicines, Hena was inspired to take action in the psychedelic community and destigmatize the use of these substances by engaging in education, and connecting religion to psychedelic use.
