There are a community of diverse and inclusive coaches & therapists, specialised in psychedelic integration & preparation. The coaches are from different countries, backgrounds, roots & beliefs. More than that, the platform offers support with education through blog posts and substance guides. I love their Instagram cannel, where you can find a lot of content related to harm reduction, like "what is legal LSD" or the difference between Psychedelic, Psychoactive & Psychotropic subtsances.
The co-founders created this place after realising that support is often missing before and/or after a psychedelic experience. While more and more retreats and interests appear, it can be difficult to find someone to help you go through it and get the most out of the experience.
I love the transparency, accessibility and integrity of this community.
Thank you for sharing and spreading visibility for a number of people who likely do not get enough credit in this space.
REACH Washington is a grassroots coalition of folks in WA State drafting a ballot initiative to decriminalize a handful of psychedelics in an ethical and responsible way, prioritizing the underground communities that have been providing access - this is in no way commercial or "legalization".
The Psychedelic Medicine Alliance of Washington (PMAW) formerly Decriminalize Nature Seattle - has been operating the past 3 years. We passed a psychedelic decrim resolution in October 2021 and have been working on legislative paths for decrim in WA state as well as mentoring and helping other people decrim in their areas.
As far as people shout outs, Kody Zalewski has been holding it down with me at PMAW for years, Erin Reading of Port Townsend Psychedelic Society has been working really diligently and with her heart for years creating a healthy psychedelic community in her area. SGT Lauren "LoLo" Feringa operates Hippie and a Veteran Foundation, helping Vets utilize alternative therapies for PTSD and mental health, and myself, I have been supporting decrim and community organizing in my area since 2020 as well.
gawd so many sellouts this is disgusting not one single black person is even trying to protect Iboga from exploitation just trying to profit themselves, and they think claiming "afro-indigenous" is OK while not even being part of any actual tribal community. sutton king is being fought by all of indian country, tribes have testified against her attempt to patent peyote to congress, yet here she is claiming to speak for natives when she is not even a peyote person. all of these people are selling out sacred things THAT DON'T BELONG TO THEM to make money I can't wait until their karma hits them in the face. so much fraud in these bios barf.
Entheo Society focuses on community outreach and regularly holds online events focused on diversity and chronicling the psychedelic movement in real time. Entheosocietywa.org and entheosociety.net held the worlds first micro-dose mushroom sit-in in downtown Seattle. Our events have focused on egalitarianism, access, and diversity.
It is fantastic to see lists like this where people on the ground are recognized for what they do. The emerging psychedelic space wouldn't exist without the hard work of psychedelic activists, citizen scientists, and underground researchers who have been doing the hard work over the past few decades. And while I appreciate geography it would be good to see a few names from other regions, such as Australia, Europe, and other parts of the world. Well done on the list, a great resource.
Wonderfully done - thank you! Suggesting a primer or talk on how we can all network with each other and build trust. As an outsider delving into the arena, it's a bit daunting - and I'm a very confident person normally!
Very powerful list! I’ve had the blessing of spending time with many of these people and they are all pioneers in what is happening in the psychedelic space. Many of them I consider friends and I’m so proud of what they are all doing. We need more powerful voices, especially those who represent the lower served communities.
Wow, thank you so much for the diversity and equity of this list! With so many existing and new actors in the field, it’s hard to keep track of them!
As seen in the comments, it would be nice to talk more about actors outside the US!
I would love to add to this list Psychedelics Integration

Thank you for spreading the love of mushrooms. I learned a lot from your blog and also from listening to podcasts from https://sunsetcitymushrooms.libsyn.com/site/about.
Here's the podcast about plant medicine specially Ayahuasca and kava https://www.listennotes.com/fr/podcasts/exploring-your-mind-with-psychedelics-dmt-HFXgEAfiVGs/

👏👏👏 A very well rounded, eclectic and diverse list of people and organizations for the movement of psychedelic advocacy! This is so important!
Love that Alchemy leads the list.
Does your list have a search function; for example for location, services provided, substances used etc
