Our Philosophy
Psygaia is founded on the universal and timeless wisdom that everything is interconnected. Individual, sociocultural, and ecological health and wellbeing are interdependent. We view psychedelic substances as essential components of a living and intelligent planetary system. Harmonious relationship between the parts is integral to balance of the whole.
Psygaia was born from a collective realization of our deep connection to nature. We believe psychedelics are powerful catalysts for profound discovery, healing, and transformation. Our mission is to foster a world where psychedelics are safe, healthy, and accepted components of society and culture.
We challenge the global prohibition of psychedelics, viewing it as misguided and dangerously short-sighted. The growing disconnection between humans and the Earth, exacerbated by the loss of symbiotic relationships with ancient plant and fungi organisms, is hindering human potential and threatening our survival. We advocate for the legalization of naturally-occurring psychedelics, asserting their essential role in maintaining a healthy individual, culture, and planet.
Psygaia’s approach is grounded in the theoretical foundations of the Psygaia Hypothesis, being developed at the University of Ottawa by Louis Belleau. This hypothesis explores how psychedelics can facilitate a reconnection to our wholeness and foster ecological consciousness.
All things are bound together, all things connect.
