A global, lived experience-led community bringing together patients, clinical trial participants, clients, family members, caregivers, peers, researchers, clinicians, practitioners, advocates, and organizations. It exists to help people connect lived experience with better questions, stronger evidence, deeper expertise, and more responsive decisions across psychedelic research, care, policy, and support.
A space where lived experience of psychedelics is treated as a meaningful source of evidence and expertise, informing research, care, policy, and support alongside clinical, scientific, and other forms of knowledge.
People who thrive here care about making psychedelic research, care, and policy more grounded in the realities of the people they affect. Some bring direct lived experience as patients, clinical trial participants, clients, family members, caregivers, or peers. Others bring experience from research, clinical practice, advocacy, policy, or community work. What connects them is a genuine belief that lived experience is a source of knowledge worth engaging seriously. They tend to be curious, thoughtful, open to complexity, and willing to question both hype and dismissal. They may be early in their journey or deeply experienced, but they share a desire to learn from others, ask better questions, develop lived experience expertise, and help build a psychedelic field that is safer, more responsive, and more accountable.
Substantive, open, and respectful. People can speak honestly without having to perform enthusiasm or opposition. Different experiences and perspectives are taken seriously, disagreement is approached with curiosity, and no single form of expertise automatically outranks another.
It gives people a structured space to share, compare, and interpret experiences, build expertise alongside others, find peers and collaborators they might not otherwise meet, and contribute to discussions, projects, and decisions that can improve psychedelic research, care, policy, and support.
