What does it mean to begin again at 60, 70, or beyond — and what if the door to healing is one most of us were taught to fear? Join us for the Victoria screening of The Next Chapter, a deeply human documentary about psilocybin-assisted therapy and the courage it takes to seek healing in the second half of life. This special screening is followed by a live panel Q&A with filmmaker Scott Paul Wright and a remarkable group of voices at the intersection of mental health, medicine, and lived experience. About the Film The Next Chapter follows a group of people navigating the second half of life who refused to accept that their best days were behind them. Carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, grief, and long-unresolved pain, they stepped into the world of psilocybin-assisted therapy in search of something they had nearly stopped believing in: the possibility of healing. This is not a film about a treatment. It is a deeply personal story about courage, vulnerability, and what it means to begin again. The Evening 🎬 Doors open: 6:00pm 📽️ Screening: 7:00pm (~45 minutes) 🎤 Panel Q&A: immediately following 📍 The Vic Theatre, 808 Douglas Street, Victoria

Meet the Panelists

Scott Paul Wright — Filmmaker, The Next Chapter
Scott Paul Wright is a filmmaker, writer, and producer whose work has consistently explored the human story behind larger subjects. With The Next Chapter, the subject is also personal — Wright came to psilocybin through his own experience at 68, reflecting the life stage of many of the people featured in the film. He joins us live for this Vancouver premiere.

Kenneth Tupper — Ph.D, Public Health Policy Consultant, Educator
Kenneth Tupper, Ph.D., is a public health policy consultant, scholar, educator, and host of the podcast Intonicated. An Adjunct Professor with both the University of British Columbia and University of Victoria, as well as former senior leader with the BC Ministry of Health, his work explores how psychedelics can foster learning, healing, and human flourishing across the lifespan. Drawing on decades of policy experience and his research on entheogenic education, Kenneth offers a thoughtful voice on why many older adults are turning to psychedelics to heal long-held childhood trauma, family conditioning, and patterns that no longer serve them. He recently co-authored a paper examining the emerging intersection of psychedelics and longevity science. More information about Kenneth is available at https://kennethtupper.ca/
