Mission Statement
Gather Well Psychedelics is committed to participating in shifting collective consciousness. We facilitate the preparation and education of psychedelic guides. We believe in a future that regards all life as precious, that strives for balance within each person, interconnectedness amongst all beings, and harmony with the earth. Our contribution to this vision is respectful engagement with psychedelics that merges and honors the history and context of their use with emergent trauma-informed modalities with a focus on collective health and healing in its diverse manifestations. In our programs we cultivate the artistry of guiding, fostering the unique gifts of each individual and growing those skills over time through an engaged apprenticeship model.
About This Cause
Gather Well Psychedelics is a non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay area. All activities are legally compliant in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe that psychedelic healing modalities, held in an attuned, ethical and culturally sensitive way, have much to contribute to the wide scale healing and growth this world needs. Here at Gather Well we synthesize trauma informed counseling frameworks and ceremonial practices, approaching these practices with reverence and a goal toward healing, balance, and wholeness. Our training programs place an emphasis on community wellness with awareness of systemic, cultural forces at play in our lives. Our psychedelic healing approach is somatically informed, meaning it draws on the wisdom of the body. It is trauma-informed, meaning practitioners learn the complex ways trauma is experienced, held in the body, and can impact the life of an individual and of culture. It is community informed, because we are all interconnected. Community health and well being is inextricably linked to individual health and well-being. It is non-dogmatic, spiritually informed, meaning these practices are free from particular religious affiliations while remaining deeply rooted in Spirit, reverence and reciprocity. Within this holistic frame, we view addiction, mental illness and other “pathologies” as symptoms of imbalance within people but also within the culture that they exist in. Thus, we seek to bring an individual back into balance in all aspects of their lives, while also maintaining a cultural context. We believe in a collective responsibility to change culture to relieve suffering for the individual, rather than relying on the individuals that are most suffering to change the culture. Ultimately, holistic approaches are not new ideas, but rather reflect and draw upon indigenous wisdom traditions that perceive the human as an integral thread in an interrelated web of nature, and greater contexts of existence. With great hope and commitment we forge ahead in contributing to the wide scale change this time in history is so clearly calling for.
