Within the past decade, there has been an incredible renaissance in psychedelic research and a renewed interest in the media and general public. The subject matter is opening up to bright & brazen new minds interested in the medical, psychological and spiritual benefits of sacred plants and chemical compounds. The thrust of this new movement has paralleled the advent of the internet & a highly networked society. This is not merely a coincidence. Both originate from an innate human desire for unfettered access to information, connection to the collective consciousness, liberation of the mind-body and a manifestation of the interconnectedness of all things. Indeed, the internet is a psychedelic experience.
We set out to establish this society, in part, because we see an immense opportunity to aide in a renewed understanding of psychedelics. By developing communication & rebranding strategies for psychedelics, in order to have them socially reconsidered and legalized. Historically this has not been it's greatest strength. Communication and media around psychedelics are often an afterthought, or not seriously considered. Too often, it results in a pastiche of worn-out cliche's left over from the 60's, which limits it's communicative reach. There exists a need for a highly articulated media & outreach campaign, to revitalize and engage a new audience – the scientific community, cultural creatives, spiritual seekers and beyond.
Yes, it's a massive undertaking. Though we are looking to you to be co-creators of this. More on that in the coming weeks. If you would like to help out, drop us a line.
