Welcome to the Psychedelic Society of Asheville!

This is a space to learn, grow, and connect with a safe, ethical, supportive, and intentional psychedelic community.

It’s our honor to provide you with tools, resources, and supportive offerings to help you navigate the expansive psychedelic frontier right here in our beautiful mountain home.

PSA is a community-driven initiative led by an all-volunteer group of experienced psychedelic facilitators. We believe the time is now to rehumanize the mindful use of psychedelics and honor the profound healing & transformational power that countless studies and ceremonial traditions have affirmed.

Our Code of Ethics:

Physical safety:

We aim to provide a peaceful, respectful & considerate container. Differences of opinion are to be addressed with courtesy & curiosity. Please check all judgments at the door. Our events are sober and we encourage accountability for body, mind & emotions. We ask to not use this container as a space to purchase or sell illicit substances of any form. We will do our very best to choose physical locations and provide digital offerings to include equitable access to communities with disabilities.

Psychological safety:

We engage with mindfulness & care for each person in our community respecting their unique experiences & perspective. The trained professionals that are part of the group will help us facilitate a trauma informed space. We honor the unique challenges & trials each one of us has faced upon our path with equanimity. We are careful with language, holding an intention not to direct, be accusatory, “Fix”, counsel, or even provide “advice” unless it is directly requested.

Should a circumstance transpire where a community member feels another society participant has breached their personal safety in a direct & purposeful manner - we will offer a mediative committee to hear & provide discretionary feedback in a safe & non-confrontational way ensuring the privacy, safety and sovereignty of community members is upheld.

Confidentiality & Privacy:

What is shared in any container whether it is in person, zoom, meetup, forum, etc is to be honored, respected, and held in confidence unless given direct permission to be shared by participants. We encourage prefacing before sharing to ensure consent of topic matter shared.

All recordings of workshops, meetings, events & offerings will require 100% consent for participants to be featured in the recording. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. While confidentiality is of top concern for the safety and security of all participants . we invite the growth of our membership through attraction & referral to welcome & encourage more perspectives to engage with in our community.

Transparency:

We support radical honesty and authenticity in our sharing. We invite and encourage intimacy & vulnerability in sharing, honoring the speed of trust & comfort that feels right for you.

We also welcome unfiltered feedback on how this organization may better uphold our mission, vision, values and ethics that form the foundation of our society. We also ask our professional members to not falsely represent experience & skill set in a manner that extends beyond their individual scope of practice – utilizing our network to support community members who are uniquely trained to provide assets and resources for community members in need of support. We encourage collaboration and ask the spirit of mutuality & respect be honored in our containers and exchanges. As we encourage community building, we also ask that there is a clarity and mutuality of intentions if & when approaching a member for meeting outside the society container. Please do not mislead or utilize a desire to share in psychedelic fellowship as a guise for romantic intentions & opportunities. We hold honesty & transparency sacred for the safety & well being of all members of our community.

Trust:

We encourage the earnest and patient building of trust through establishing authentic relationships built on the honoring of values & perspective. We welcome critical thinking when receiving information from this group. We support questioning & curiosity before integrating insights as fact. We encourage the coming forward to share when trust has been breached by any member of this organization to ensure we are maintaining a safe & supportive environment.

In the future – We envision creating a pathway toward endorsement of practitioners and psychedelic professionals who we support in the offering of services based on experience, education, credentials, and reputation.
