SHINE Collective was born out of the vital community need for supporting those who have been harmed in psychedelic spaces.

As psychedelic use increases, the potential for both healing and harm increases. Psychedelics have incredible potential for treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. They are helping us understand human consciousness, reconnecting us with the planet, and connecting us with sacred and spiritual practices.

People who seek healing through psychedelic medicine paths deserve dignity and respect. A space to reconnect to themselves, a place to heal, free of harm through abuse, assault, coercion or manipulation.

As more miraculous stories of psychedelic healing are told on podcasts, in magazines, and at conferences;

There are survivors of sexual assault from psychedelic practitioners that deserve to be heard.
There are stories of loved ones dying from psychedelic-related accidents that deserve to be heard.
There are practitioners who are raising genuine concerns about ethics, coercion, suggestibility and psychedelics that deserve to be heard.

As more survivors begin to come forward and share their stories, the more need there is for compassionate support systems that understand the complexities of psychedelic harm.

SHINE Collective aims to create peer-led, no-cost, community-based support groups for survivors of psychedelic harm and their communities.

Through our PACE program, we will develop a working, living document on ethical guidelines and considerations for working with altered states of consciousness.

SHINE’s Education program will help the psychedelic community learn about risk reduction through workshops and content focused on ethics, power dynamics, restorative justice, equity and human rights.

As psychedelic access increases, the potential for harm increases. To ensure the health and longevity of psychedelic medicines, we need sustaining contributions to support survivors.

Financial contributions help us provide on-going no cost/low cost support services for survivor groups.

Your donations will go directly to programs that support survivors:

$100 - sponsor a 45-min advocacy consultation call to help survivors take actionable steps in their healing path
$300 - sponsor a single group session for 6 people - survivors and family members
$300 - sponsor a support group for psychedelic practitioners
$1,000 - sponsor a virtual educational workshop
$3,000 - sponsor a 10-week survivor cohort
$5,000 - sponsor an in-person workshop

We are aiming to begin providing services in October 2023.

We are looking for financial support from the community to support the beginning foundations of SHINE.
