The Psychedelic Body
Psychedelics can be ‘mind manifesting,’ but they also can help us re-root in our bodily experience to tap into the inherently psychedelic wisdom of the body. On Sunday, August 21st from 6-8pm, join BPS in collaboration with GOOD MOVE for an evening of Psychedelic Movement where we will explore how movement can be used to prepare for journeying, to have a fulfilling and expansive experience in our bodies, to reclaim our bodily autonomy, and to integrate our psychedelic insights into our daily lives.

Launching a Psychedelic Co-op
BPS is busy developing a one-of-a-kind psychedelic co-op. The coop will be a democratically owned healing and transformation center that we hope will become a model for making these powerful medicines a publicly accessible good. This is a project we’re very excited about and one that we’ll need a great deal of support from you, our community, to realize. Sign up for our newsletter for more info.
The Journey Cohort Program
The Journey Cohort Program will be the primary offering of the psychedelic co-op. This will be a healing and integration program for before, during, and after a transformative journey in a small group setting. More details will be announced soon. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter for updates.
