DharamTrip: An Interactive Awakening Experience
We are super excited to announce our first collaboration with another psychedelic community: Psychedelic Thailand! DharmaTrip is a kaleidoscopic, multimedia group journey that will explore the psychedelic treasures of Buddhism for healing, growth, and awakening. This will be a first-hand, group experience of how Buddhism can inform our collective journey towards liberation using music, visual projection, philosophy, and group meditation. Hosted at a loft in Tribeca, this will be quite a unique experience that we are proud to be collaborating on. Tickets are $30 and can be bought
Trip Tales: Centering Femininity
We are excited to announce that, in collaboration with The Psychedelic Sisterhood, we are launching a monthly Trip Tales space to center and celebrate all the women and non-binary folks in our community! All are welcome, but we will have an unabashed focus on the feminine as we share out-of-this-world stories of psychedelic exploration and transformation. If you’ve been looking for a space to build authentic connections and lasting solidarity, then this is the group for you!

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.
