ABOUT
Welcome home, Misfit Seekers!
We hold space for Psychedelic Buddhism. We promote a non-sectarian and non-traditional approach to Buddhism that values the spiritual efficacy of psychedelics on the Path, not to mention great music and art!
Psychedelic Sangha was cofounded in 2018 as a spiritual refuge for Buddhistic Psychonauts and Psychedelic Buddhists—“misfit seekers” looking for a safe place to practice.
Our practitioner-based sangha is oriented around a threefold approach to holding space: Incubation, Invocation, and Integration—what we have dubbed our Third Eye System © 2023.
Incubation is step one and refers to all our sober preparatory events, such as Morning Meditation on IG Live (Mon-Fri) or our weekly Sunday Sit series on Zoom. Also included in this category is our Speaker Series and upcoming conference, Psychedelic Buddhism 2024.
Invocation includes our “dose-friendly” events, such as the Bardo Bath series, Psychedelic Severence, Vibing Vajrasattva, and Museum Meets (aka “Museum Dose”). These events are designed to provide a safe space for exploration, with on-site risk/harm reduction facilitators.
Integration is the final step: we reintegrate the pieces through a sober peer-to-peer sharing circle and group sit. There is no therapy, just community validation and a safe space where you will be heard.
We also offer a comprehensive 6-8-week private cohort program with a carefully designed course of study and practice that guides you through all three phases of our Third Eye System. The next private cohort is starting this fall-winter.
Our definition of “psychedelic” is an altered state of consciousness that helps reveal the nature of mind and reality—regardless of whether it is drug-induced, meditation-induced, or life-induced!
We always seek friends and collaborators who want to create great Dharma Art. Please feel free to email us here. And join our mailing list below to receive our bi-monthly communiqué, The Oracle: “All Things to Come.”
We invite you to exercise your cognitive liberty and join us for a transformative experience!
Love, Psychedelic Sangha
“The challenge is to imagine and then create a communal structure that works, not in theory, but in practice. We must be ready to learn from whatever historical alternative models already exist: from the noncelibate yogic tradition of the Tibetan Nyingma school to the Japanese system of hereditary priests, and to proceed free from attachment to the outcome. We also need to learn from history’s mistakes and work to create a sangha that is no longer ridden with the sectarianism, dogmatism, authoritarianism, and sexism endemic to many Asian traditions.”
“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and lovingkindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”
