Aaron Rodgers will be a mile tall in June.
The Psychedelic Science conference lists the quarterback as a speaker for the June 19-23 event in Denver.
The event’s website promises classes and workshops that will “provide an opportunity to delve into the world of psychedelic science.”
Rodgers appeared on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast last summer and praised the benefits of ayahuasca, a psychoactive tea that contains DMT, a hallucinogenic drug.
“To me, that self-love is one of the cornerstones of your mental health,” Rodgers said at the time. “That’s what Ayahuasca did for me, it helped me see how to love myself unconditionally.
“Only in this unconditional self-love am I really able to love others unconditionally. And what better way to work on my mental health than having an experience like this?”
He said trying the drug led to an awakening and laid the groundwork for him to win back-to-back NFL MVP honors in 2020 and 2021.
“I lay down on my mat after that and then opened my eyes and it felt like I was opening my eyes for the first time,” Rodgers said.
“I really feel like this experience paved the way for the best season of my career.”
After a comparatively disappointing 2022 season in which the Packers missed the playoffs, Rodgers, 39, is now at a turning point in his NFL career.

He has been in talks with the Jets about potentially joining Gang Green in 2023 after serving his first 18 NFL seasons with the Packers.
Jets owner Woody Johnson, general manager Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett — who worked with Rodgers in Green Bay in the same role — flew to meet the quarterback at his home in California earlier this week to campaign him to the east.
With Rodgers signed to the Packers, Green Bay, who selected Rodgers’ rumored replacement Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, gave the Jets permission to hold the talks.
