Our Core Values

1. Non-Extractive, Dignity-Centered Care

We aspire to forms of care that give more than they take. We reject extractive models that remove value, stories, labor, data, or meaning from people in vulnerable moments, including extraction from Indigenous traditions, patient suffering, or serious illness. Care must preserve dignity, agency, reciprocity, and self-determination.

2. Community Over Commodification

We believe healing happens in relationship, not transaction. We aspire to build community-held spaces rooted in mutual care and shared presence, without turning people, experiences, or outcomes into products.

3. Autonomy, Consent, and Self-Determination

We believe people facing serious illness have the right to make informed choices about their bodies, care, and inner lives. Participation is always voluntary and transparent. We do not promise cures, transformation, or specific outcomes, and we honor uncertainty, consent, and personal agency at every stage.

4. Survivor-Led Design and Lived Authority

We believe the most ethical care is shaped by those who have lived it. Our work aspires to be guided by people who have experienced serious illness from the inside, valuing lived authority over professional hierarchy or institutional convenience.

5. Ethical Stewardship of Medicine and Lineage

We approach psychedelic medicine with humility, responsibility, and restraint. We aspire to steward medicine rather than own, brand, or exploit it, holding it in relationship with respect for Indigenous wisdom, cultural lineage, preparation, integration, and participant choice.

6. Safety, Truth, and Care That Continues

We believe healing does not need to be dramatic to be real. We prioritize emotional, psychological, physical, and relational safety over spectacle. We aspire to truthful storytelling that resists simplification or romanticization, and to care that continues through preparation, integration, and long-term support.

7. Economic Justice and Integrity Over Scale

We recognize that serious illness often brings financial harm alongside physical and emotional suffering. We aspire to reduce economic barriers to care and to grow only in ways that preserve ethics, accountability, and depth, choosing integrity over rapid or extractive expansion.
