Our Educational Mission Statement

We believe:

  • that psychedelic-assisted therapy, when done in a safe manner, has the potential to change the world for the better
  • that psychedelics such as psilocybin are the shared birthright of humanity, belong to no-one, and as such by educating others we would like to reach and help as many people as possible
  • that the core value of healing should always be service to others
  • that psychedelics are sacred medicines of the earth, and deserve our respect
  • that we are custodians of these sacred medicines, not their owners, and therefore have a duty to educate others in how to work responsibly with psychedelics in a safe and therapeutic way
  • that psychedelic healing practised in a safe way should be accessible to all, not just the privileged and wealthy. For this reason, we will offering a limited number of scholarships to those from disadvantaged socio-economic or ethnic backgrounds (please apply by sending an email to [email protected])
