Our Mission
To understand our mission, it's important that you understand what we believe about transformative experiences, and how critical we believe they are enabling greater open-mindedness, increase feelings of connectedness with humanity, and discover the beauty of the human experience. These experiences can be brought upon with the usage of psychedelics, but you should always take the necessary precautions. First, let’s understand why we believe psychedelics may facilitate positive transformation in the first place.
Research trials suggest that, especially when used as part of psychotherapy, the benefits of psychedelics include, but are not limited to, treating addiction, alleviating depression and anxiety, tackling longstanding symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, and calming existential distress in people with terminal illnesses. Although are still researchers uncovering the neural basis of the drugs’ effects and exploring their therapeutic benefits, it seems conclusive that there is massive potential for disentangling yourself from previous trauma and allowing positive self-transformation with psychedelic compounds.
As we discover more about the activities of our ancestors, we have started to realize that humans have consumed naturally occurring substances with consciousness-altering properties for most of civilization’s history. Primitive societies used them in healing rituals, initiation ceremonies, and to make contact with the gods. But recent findings in archeology also point to them being used heavily in even the most advanced societies at the time such as ancient Greece. It was not uncommon for these antediluvian individuals to go their whole lives anticipating the peak experiences that were being had at psychedelic rituals at places like the Theatre of Dionysus.
Although events in the 1960s lead to these substances becoming associated with the counterculture movement and eventually outlawed, we are now living in what has been called a psychedelic renaissance where the realization of psychedelics’ potential for transformative experience is being realized. However, many stories have cropped up about individuals who did not take the necessary safety precautions before taking these substances, leading to a "bad trip" or unpleasant experience. This apparent risk can present a challenge for many who seek to use these substances.
The transcendent, life-changing effects psychedelics are becoming known to the population, but for you as an individual, this does not give you a direct path toward utilizing these findings for yourself. One of the most onerous barriers toward undergoing these experiences is ensuring that you can take these substances safely. This requires not only educating yourself on best-practices for safe usage, but also finding an individual trained in harm reduction techniques to ensure your safety. We attempt to solve the former problem with our guide, and latter problem with our service that will help you find a Trip Sitter easily.
