FRIDAY in Manhattan: Join Benjamin De Loenen of ICEERS and Claude Guislain of Instituto Nixiwaka for a fireside conversation on the World Ayahuasca Forurm. Stepping into a New Time of Alliance with Ancestral Knowledge Holders This time of deep crisis requires people who don’t just talk about a different world but act to build one. When was the last time people from around the world, carrying this deep commitment, stepped into a real dialogue space organized by Indigenous ancestral knowledge holders, around the co-creation of a new path forward for humanity? A path of respectful partnership between the best of our worlds, ancestral and contemporary, working together for a common good. A space for weaving human connection and dream together. This is what is being called into being in Girona, Northern Spain, September 9–13, during the World Ayahuasca Forum. This is not an event. It is the ground for alliance building, for organizing as a movement. The mandate is clear: bring together ancestral knowledge holders from 30 Indigenous nations with people from around the world who carry a deep commitment to building a world in balance - from the fields of systems change, regeneration, philanthropy, healing, science, policy, psychedelic medicine, and community building. The spiritual leaders are requesting us all to join forces.This dialogue session will open a window into this living process and how we can all step into a New Time of Alliance. TIX in Bio!

Awesome chatting with @soulclapeli for the @djs4ca show at @thelotradio about how Music opened my path to supporting Indigenous communities on the front lines of the Climate fight. Join us Tonight at @houseofyesnyc for the Earth Love Fest after party at 6pm! Shout out to @psychedforclimateaction & @parties4peace 🌎 🎥 @inoa_photo

The U.S. executive order to accelerate psychedelic research is a clear illustration of how politics, science, and markets do not merely overlap: they constitute each other. None of them moves without the others. The word “accelerate” is not innocent; it names the tempo of a specific political and economic agenda. But there are other tempos. Indigenous rights. Indigenous cosmologies. Forests, ancestors, and forms of knowledge that were never asking to be optimized. These eleven slides are an invitation to decelerate, before acceleration closes the space for thought.

🌍 Earth Night this Saturday ICYMI, PSYCA is joining DJs for Climate Action’s Earth Night alongside Parties for Peace, Converge, and communities across the globe turning dance floors into climate impact zones. On Saturday, April 25, 9PM-4AM, Dead Letter No. 9 becomes a space where music, movement, and mission converge—literally. This is nightlife as regenerative action: connection, awareness, and collective power channeled through sound. The energy will be immersive. It would be amazing to get down with as many of you as can make it 💚 DLN-09, 63 Grand St., Brooklyn, NY 11249 - LINK IN BIO https://posh.vip/e/earth-night-ecology-sammy-bananas-lauren-ritter-sister-zo-ali-colemtn-natural-selections-2melo-silk-noir

Most people are trying to heal alone. But healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship - to yourself, to others, to the living world. There are ways of healing that don’t look like progress. No urgency. No performance. No “before and after.” Just: slowing down feeling what’s here creating from it staying in relationship. A Mycelian is someone who connects what cannot be seen. Who understands that healing is not individual - it’s relational & collective. This handbook is an entry point into that way of being. A slow practice for reconnecting to yourself, others, and the living world. If you are already doing this work - quietly, beneath the surface - this is for you. This is not for fixing - it is to relate differently. 🪶✨🫶 Save this. You may want to return. . . . #DeepEcology #CollectiveHealing #Heal #TEVEL #EcoArtTherapy

Like, comment, send to a friend, reshare, post on your story, etc. If it gets no traction, IG will bury it in the noise. 🙏 🧠 THE MARCH FOR COGNITIVE LIBERTY 🍄�📍 Manhattan — 4.19.26 | 1PM This Bicycle Day is an invitation for the psychedelic community to step out of the shadows and onto the NYC streets. A moment for this movement to show up in solidarity. Visibly, publicly, and in a BIG way. Cognitive Liberty = one simple idea:�You should have sovereignty over your own mind. Our message to NYC is simple: we are the psychedelic community and we are your neighbors, your colleagues, your friends. We are artists and scientists, veterans and therapists, parents, sons & daughter, teachers, students. People from every walk of life who believe that the ability to explore consciousness through psychedelics should no longer be stigmatized. Join us at 1pm for the March up 5th avenue in Midtown Manhattan followed by speeches by @lauradunn4congress @the_real_leonard_pickard and @juliehollandmd (more TBA) If this resonates, please pause before scrolling away. Send this to someone who should be at the NYC March for Cognitive Liberty or tag them in the comments. A friend. An organization. An artist or collaborator. A public figure who could give a speech. And if you can, come march side-by-side with us on 4/19 (bicycle optional) 🚲 🔗 Link in bio for more details + RSVP

The rise of biocultures in global debates did not happen by accident. It moves through circulation, mediation and disputes over authority. As these traditions travel, hierarchies shift and new forms of symbolic capital emerge. What often appears as recognition can also reproduce older colonial patterns. That is why we need to look at it carefully.

Universal for who? At whose cost? Expansion is not neutrality. It’s a fight over who gets to decide. Who defines the medicine. Who certifies the ceremony. Who translates the forest. Who organizes conferences. Who becomes the reference. Outside its territories of origin, ayahuasca doesn’t get freer. It creates new gatekeepers. What travels is not only a medicine. What travels is authority. And authority is never innocent. Read the carousel. The diaspora is political terrain.

Community is what we have, engagement is what we want, belonging is the vehicle, and play is the gas in the tank. 🌱 Throwback to speaking at the @psychedforclimateaction kickoff gathering for Climate Week NYC last year. #climateweek #climateaction #belonging #communityengagement

Biggest compliment at Friday night’s RESET? When asked how they heard about us, an attendee said: “My therapist told me I should go.” 🧠🍄🙌 SO many incredible collaborators came together to bring the Fearless Future theme to life, envisioning a psychedelic world where technology, art, nature, music, nourishment, and community coexist harmoniously. An enormous thank you to our DJs @preskool and @suzycbaker for keeping the dance floor electrically alive all night, and to Axel for guiding us through a beautifully chill ambient journey downstairs. To the artists:
@paolinart_8   who transformed the top floor into an insanely cool immersive neon psychedelic environment.
@oona.frost who brought the Dream Museum - the biggest, baddest octopus I’ve ever danced with.
@katya.goltseva for her collaborative art piece that invited guests to co-create.
@psychedforclimateaction for coordinating that activation and sharing their work on raising consciousness to combat climate change.
 And @thevisceralglitch for his dazzling augmented reality pieces. To our tech wizards:
Sponsor @cobblestonelabs , for immersive projections and a wildly fun diffusion AI mirror.
Sponsor @interactive.items for their Octologue installation, where guests conversed with seven simulated psychedelic perspectives. (Maria Sabina consistently took the lead 👏)
 And, as always, @joepetrows because the lights were, unsurprisingly, fucking amazing and to @artbathnyc for still being our gearshare buddies. To our activators:
 Zeke at @bkmushroom for an incredible merch table and PA trading cards.
@tremaynearts for the deeply tapped-in astrology readings.
 And longtime collaborator @void_denizen for his Oracular Interactions. For nourishing our guests all night, thank you to Eliott and @hekatenyc for an amazing zero-proof bar, our sponsors @drinkthepathfinder @drinkdirtyvirgin @amethystnaspirits , and Chef Brenda Egea for a delicious spread. And almost all the beautiful photos in this post are by our photographer @fakejosh . We know that’s a long thank-you list, but it truly takes a village. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make RESET: Fearless Future possible. Stay tuned, NYC!

The other elephant in the room….Psychedelic work isn’t about escaping reality … it’s about healing. It helps many people quiet the noise, look inward, and reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with the people they care about. For some, it eases anxiety. For others, it opens up buried emotions, deeper clarity, or a sense of belonging to something larger…the land, the planet, each other. You don’t need to be “spiritual” to feel the effects. You just need to be curious, open, and supported. If you’ve ever felt the pull toward this kind of work, to be happier …consider exploring it thoughtfully, safely, and with the right guidance….It might open a door you’ve been waiting your whole life to walk through. Your inner world is worth the journey.
