TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2025 / The Cannadelic Global Summit returns this fall to 2201 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL, gathering the world's leading voices in psychedelics, mental health, sexuality, and social justice for a TED-style day of transformational talks.

Headlining the summit is Dr. Angela Fisher, founder of Bionic Bloom Wellness Collective and the Neurodivergent Empowerment Institute (NEI), presenting her provocative keynote:

From Blushing to Bonding: Erotic Neurobiology and the New Language of Love

In this immersive, sensory keynote, Dr. Fisher explores the biochemical ballet behind intimacy-from the science of kissing and blushing to the powerful effects of MDMA in couples therapy. With evocative visuals and interactive pacing designed to stir the nervous system, she invites the audience to experience the same physiological tension as a first kiss.

This keynote, sponsored by NEI and Bionic Bloom, is a call to rewire the circuitry of connection through curiosity, kindness, and radical presence.
