An ecological approach to psychedelics.
Psygaia is an independent nonprofit grounding psychedelic practice in nature, interdisciplinary research, and community.
Fostering planetary health through psychedelic practice.
Psychedelic experiences consistently produce a felt sense of unity and interconnection. Psygaia was founded on the question of how that happens, what it means, and why it matters. Our work is grounded in the Psygaia Framework — an interdisciplinary account of psychedelic action developed through graduate research at the University of Ottawa, drawing on the emerging field of ecopsychedelics.
Explore the FrameworkRigorously grounded
Rooted in interdisciplinary research, graduate-level scholarship, and honest engagement with what the evidence actually says.
Ecologically situated
Psychedelics are ecological molecules from intelligent organisms within living systems. They're not just medicine for individual healing — they situate us in something larger.
Harm-reduction first
We don't moralize or romanticize. We help people engage with psychedelics as safely and intentionally as possible, wherever they are.

Psygaia is a Canadian nonprofit. We are not funded by pharmaceutical interests. Our mission is holistic education and responsible access, not profit.
