Our mission

The responsible exploration of ecodelics can aid the flourishing of a new paradigm by 1) facilitating the transition from materialism to an integral worldview; 2) proposing new standards for understanding health and the human psyche; and 3) realigning ourselves with the planetary organism.

Once induced in the proper conditions of set and setting, these holotropic states can help us heal and evolve, integrating and solving the many contemporary crisis that unfold, both on the individual and on the social level.

A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm. —Stanislav Grof, M.D.

There are many defocalization techniques aimed to achieve holotropic states in a controlled fashion, such as meditation, breathing exercises, lucid dreaming and prolonged fasting, among others. Still, they demand a lot of time and dedication – in many cases the span of a lifetime – and thus are difficult to be scientifically studied and scrutinized.

Despite being mandatory the proper nurturing of body, mind and psyche prior and after an ecodelic journey, these substances offer us an organic technology for probing deep into the recesses of the mind in the span of a few hours, or even minutes; opening a unprecedented potential for research and learning.

These biochemical keys have been worshipped and respected in cultures alien to the Western mindset all over the globe throughout millennia. Still, their use is illegal and stigmatized in the western world, with a very few exceptions (most of them for religious purposes only). Our interdisciplinary gaze aims to cast light upon this issue and reinsert it in the contemporary debate.
