Initial Focus
LGBTQIA+ community facilitators and therapists
In our current climate, LBGTQIA+ communities are under attack. The impact of this assault is magnified for those with intersectional, marginalized identities. We support healing for those who face trauma, stigmatization, and discrimination as a result of their sexual or gender identities.
We believe in the value of psychedelic-assisted therapy in processing layers of trauma and injury. We also know the value to the community of working with facilitators and therapists with a shared identity and lived experience. We want to support these change agents in their own healing journey, so that they can be most effective in helping others.
The Healing Potential
Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers the potential to heal trauma by reconnecting us to ourselves, our communities, and the natural world.
We want to ensure that there is equitable access to this life-affirming and revolutionary treatment.

Timeline 2023
“The potential of the vehicle (psychedelics) is sacramentally to take you out of the cultural constructs which you are part of a conspiracy in maintaining. And giving you a chance to experience once again your innocence.”
―Ram Dass, American spiritual teacher
