Our Philosophy
Psygaia is founded on the universal and timeless wisdom that everything is interconnected. Individual health, cultural health, and ecological health are thus interdependent. We view psychedelics as essential components of a living, intelligent and self-regulating planetary system. Right relationship between the parts is integral to harmony and balance of the whole.
Psygaia emerged from shared experiences and mutual apprehension of our connection to Nature.
Psychedelics are catalysts for profound discovery, healing and transformation. We therefore work towards a world in which psychedelics are safe, healthy and accepted parts of society and culture.
We view the global prohibition on psychedelics as fundamentally misled and perilously consequential.
Disconnection between the human organism and the Earth through symbiotic relationship to ancient plant and fungi organisms is increasingly thwarting human potential and endangering human survival. We thus believe psychedelics need to be made legal and maintain that naturally-occurring psychedelics are an essential part of a healthy person, culture and planet.
Psygaia as an organization is being developed on the theoretical foundations of a hypothesis of the same name at the University of Ottawa.
All things are bound together, all things connect.
