What our Participants Say

There is a global epidemic of people suffering from psycho-spiritual illnesses that modern healthcare systems are not able to address.

Recent trials at the Centre for Neuropsychopharmacology, Imperial College London, (Carhart-Harris et al., 2016) have shown that psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in "magic mushrooms", may reduce the symptoms of depression when paired with more established traditional therapy measures.

Trials show that psilocybin may safely treat a range of issues including depression (Bogenschutz et al., 2015), tobacco addiction (Johnson et al., 2014), eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (Moreno et al., 2006) and end-of-life anxiety (Griffiths et al., 2016).

A recent study (Griffiths et al., 2011) showed that 72% of participants had a mystical-type experience which had both personal and spiritual significance for them. This experience sustained positive changes in their lives, including better attitudes, increased good mood, and better behavioural patterns.

Dr Gabor Maté, world renowned trauma expert speaks about the psychedelic experience.
