Traditionally, psychedelics were embedded in ritual—where mindset and environment were treated as sacred, and the experience was shaped by the interconnected inner psyche and outer world, including the cultural, political, and ecological forces.

In today’s disconnected world, psychedelics offer a bridge to connection, to healing, wholeness—if held in safe, supportive, and meaningful contexts. Culturally resonant spaces root the experience in story and shared heritage, and a sense of belonging.

AFTERGLOW is one such space: inspired by the experimental spirit of the Acid Tests in the 1960s, but grounded in care, intention, and integration. Co-created with you, it is a living experiment in communal ceremony. As psychedelics move toward the mainstream, we must prioritize spaces like these—not just for self-transformation, but for collective sovereignty, healing, and connection—with each other, the planet, the cosmos, and the sacredness of life.
