A new podcast, online community & movement committed to ensuring women have a voice in shaping the future of psychedelics.

Now is the time for our voices to be heard
Although women have been intimately connected to psychedelics & plant medicines for centuries, our influence in the current "psychedelic renaissance" is more important than ever.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a promising solution for people suffering from trauma and other mental health issues around the world.
The problem?
Women are significantly under-represented in key leadership positions
Especially in areas of business, governance, policy, training, & medicine—those most likely to dramatically shape the future of the emerging psychedelic sector.
Now is the time for women to collaborate & claim a seat at the table to make our mark through this empowering movement!
