Cultivating the Understanding of Psychedelics and the Psychedelic Experience

There is a growing need for common ground understanding and a shared language around psychedelics.

Do you strive to improve your common ground messaging and communication with broader audiences, including lawmakers, clients, and family members?

Are you considering psychedelics but would like to improve your understanding and comfort level before moving forward?

New psychedelic studies, policy reform efforts, and services are emerging almost daily, and media outlets are helping to demystify and destigmatize psychedelics. However, we still lack common ground understanding and a shared language, as shown by recent policy setbacks and slow rollouts for state psilocybin frameworks.

The current conversation around psychedelics focuses on research, new applications, and their potential for treating addiction, depression, and anxiety, and it is assumed that this messaging resonates with the public. However, this conversation and its language aren't enough to build understanding beyond the psychedelic space. To gain public support and drive societal change, the current conversation around psychedelics must evolve before it is normalized.

Cultivating Interests extends understanding beyond the psychedelic space.

Our Mission:

Cultivate understanding of the psychedelic experience. This is the cornerstone of Cultivating Interests. We make the psychedelic experience relatable and accessible. The psychedelic experience is shrouded in mystery, but there are a few themes that overlap with common, non-psychedelic experiences of transformation. This is where understanding begins.

A common ground understanding around psychedelics is invaluable for those looking to improve their messaging around psychedelics, those interested in psychedelic integration, and those who are simply curious about psychedelics.

Cultivate a common language around psychedelics. Using a common ground understanding of the psychedelic experience, we build a set of tools for effectively communicating about psychedelics with just about anyone. A common language is built on a shared understanding of transformation, something to which we all can relate. This is invaluable to psychedelic practitioners, facilitators, medical professionals, professional educators, and policy reform campaigns looking to improve their messaging around psychedelics and their potential benefits.

Cultivating Interests is ideal for:

  • People working in policy reform, advocacy, or in the psychedelic lobby.

  • Those who are new to psychedelics or just plain curious.

  • Those who have some psychedelic experience who wish to deepen their understanding and communicate their experiences with people in their lives.

  • Psychedelic facilitators, training programs, and anyone who would like to improve their communication and messaging around psychedelics with a range of audiences.

  • Students, clinicians, and those seeking an adjunct to facilitator training or other professional practices.

  • Personal Transformation industry, including transformational travel businesses and retreats.

  • Doctors, nurses, and PAs seeking a better understanding and better communication around psychedelics.
