Psychedelics are promising but are limited to two modes of use: the clinical/retreat approach which is expensive or going underground which can be risky
There’s a third way that humans have been doing for thousands of years: Community. But community doesn’t come naturally to an individualistic culture such as our own.
Our vision is to see a nationwide network of community-based growth and transformation centers. Our mission is to maximize the safety, accessibility, and efficacy of community-based growth and transformation with the help of psychedelics.
We’re creating Trellis: a framework for community-based growth and transformation that will turn it into a culturally integrated practice, much like the 12 step program did for AA.
Trellis has two components: Programming and Infrastructure.
- Programming: Trellis Cohorts, Group Journeys, and Workshops provide structured opportunities for growth and connection.
- Infrastructure: Escalation Protocols, Community Stewards, Ethics Guidelines, Conflict Resolution tools, and the Trellis Handbook ensure these practices remain grounded, safe, and sustainable.
Through Trellis, we support our members with engaging events, empower them with educational workshops, and foster connection through intentional community-building.
By donating, you’re helping us turn this vision into reality—creating a world where community-centered psychedelic growth is accessible to everyone, regardless of background or resources. Your support allows us to build the framework, host events, train stewards, and expand this vital network. Together, we can transform how we heal and grow, one community at a time. Will you join us in making this possible?
