How to Microdose Mindfully
A 3-week guided course for sensitive, reflective people who want to explore microdosing safely and intentionally.
Microdosing Mindfully is for those who feel drawn to psychedelics for insight, healing, personal growth or spiritual practice—and who also know they need structure and integration.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety or low mood, beginning or deepening your spiritual practice, or seeking personal growth, this course offers a practical, evidence-informed, and reflective approach to microdosing that prioritizes sustainable wellbeing and exploration over productivity optimization.
This course sets the essential foundations for our upcoming cohort-based program.
This course is designed for you if:
You feel drawn to psychedelics as tools, teachers, or allies for self-understanding, healing, personal growth, or spiritual inquiry.
You experience anxiety, emotional sensitivity, or periods of low mood, and want a careful approach to microdosing psychedelics.
You want structure, reflection, and integration, not rigid protocols or vague inspiration.
You prefer learning within clear ethical and safety boundaries.
You value community and mindful reflection, and don’t want performative spirituality, productivity optimization or biohacking.
What you’ll gain from this course:
By the end of three weeks, you’ll be able to:
Design a safe and mindful microdosing routine suited to you and your intentions.
Understand how microdosing interacts with mood, anxiety, attention, and emotional regulation.
Apply daily reflective and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness on and off microdosing.
Track your experience meaningfully, without over-interpretation.
Decide—with clarity—whether microdosing is supportive for you at this stage of life.
This course does not promise your self-transformation. It promises discernment, structure, and psychological safety.
Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who discovered LSD, was among the first in the West to explore microdosing. In his later years, he took small amounts of LSD to enhance clarity, creativity, and connection to nature—viewing the substance not just as a scientific breakthrough, but as a sacred tool for consciousness exploration. Around the same time, Stanislav Grof, a pioneer of transpersonal psychology, was exploring the therapeutic potential of low-dose psychedelics in clinical settings. He found that small, sub-perceptual doses could help people access deeper layers of the psyche while staying emotionally grounded—facilitating healing, insight, and self-awareness without the intensity of a full-dose experience.
Long before the term microdosing emerged, some Indigenous communities—particularly in the Amazon—used low doses of plant medicines like ayahuasca as part of ongoing spiritual, relational, and medicinal practices. These doses were not typically aimed at inducing visions, but rather served subtle purposes: enhancing connection to the natural world, maintaining energetic balance, supporting physical or emotional wellbeing, and deepening communication with plant spirits. While distinct from the Western concept of microdosing, these ancestral traditions reflect a long-standing understanding of how to engage with psychoactive plants in non-visionary, relational ways—offering important context for today’s renewed interest in low-dose psychedelic practices.
Most microdosing content falls into two traps:
Protocol focused without structured approaches to inner work.
Spiritual language without grounding or containment.
This course integrates both—carefully.
Psygaia’s approach is:
Evidence-informed, drawing on research and anecdotal evidence, harm-reduction and benefit-maximization practices.
Mindfulness-based, emphasizing awareness, not outcome chasing.
Ecologically grounded, framing microdosing as a natural relationship, not a productivity tool, hack, or wonder drug.
Trauma-informed, prioritizing nervous-system stability.
Learn how to observe, reflect, and decide responsibly.

Course Creator
Louis Belleau, M.A.
Louis is the founder and director of Psygaia, and a psychedelic researcher and guide with an MA in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies from the University of Ottawa. He is a certified yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork teacher with an interdisciplinary background in Psychology, Philosophy, and Religious Studies from McGill University. Louis created this course in response to a gap he observed in contemporary psychedelic education—where the material and technical outweighs the spiritual and practical, where productivity and self-optimization overshadow ethical meaning-making and ecological reconnection. Drawing on over a decade of contemplative practice, mystical study, academic research, and community-based based work, his approach emphasizes ethical restraint, psychological safety, and microdosing as a reflective and relational practice rather than a performance or productivity tool.
