A home for healing arts & transformational learning.

Our approach to psychedelic education is based on

Our approach to psychedelic education is based on a community ecology; weaving connections and coordinating learning, growth, healing, and action - from the individual toward the collective. ~Taken from our new site, link in bio for info about programs + more.

During the re-emergence process we spent some time

During the re-emergence process we spent some time considering what organizations typically call: “Vision, Mission, Values” and what emerged was a set of commitments. We hold them as an internal compass, knowing we wont be perfect, and also wanting a way to state our intentions to this work, to ourselves and to each other. (For more on each commitment, visit the site).

• We are committed to “safety and ethics”.

• We are committed to the re-creation of a world that does not use shame or alienation tactics to affect behavior or change.

• We are committed to disruption.

• We are committed to looking at the ways White Supremacy, Colonialism and Patriarchy informs our thinking and behaving.

• We commit to honoring the lineages of psychedelic healing work.

• We are committed to our humanness.

• We commit to active, imaginative participation in co-creating the birth of a new world.

• We are committed to each other.

• We are committed to emergence itself.

We’ve got some news! 🌱The new website is up

We’ve got some news!

🌱The new website is up (in bio ⬆️). In it you’ll find info about our vision & intention as an organization, admissions & programs, and the new labor of love: the “ethics casebook” project.

🌱 We’ve also chosen two new co-directors. This alternative model of leadership lends itself to the kind of values we hold dear: collaboration, balance and holding a diversity of perspectives. We’re excited about what each of these individuals are bringing to the table. You can read their bios and our decision to hire them in the “News & Events” section of the new site.

We’re SO close to launching the new website, sharing what we’ve been up to and what we’ll be offering. Here’s a snippet of some recent thoughts: “At Gather Well we prefer to say "psychedelic healing modalities" (rather than Psychedelic-assisted therapy) as it is more inclusive of practices with psychedelics that do not ascribe to a psychotherapeutic framework or psychologized lens of self, other and the collective…”

Lots happening at Gather Well Psychedelics this mo

Lots happening at Gather Well Psychedelics this month that we are excited to share:
✨A leadership team is forming in which we’ve decided to do things a little differently than even we had imagined.
✨ Specifics about the program offerings are taking shape.
✨ A new website is about to launch!
✨ We are re-emerging with a fresh perspective and a heart-centered commitment to transformational learning and personal development.
✨ We’ll be dipping our toes back in the social media waters so we can share more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Honoring change 🌿The Center for Consciousness M

Honoring change 🌿The Center for Consciousness Medicine will now be called “Gather Well Psychedelics - a home for healing arts & transformational learning.” The new name reflects the shifts in our identity from this past year of inward reflection. It’s a way to honor the changes and pivots we are making as an organization, to celebrate the birthing of this new form. Some of the ways we aim to fulfill our mission of training guides have changed; even what a guide is has evolved and come into fuller meaning for us. Given all of that, a new name felt right.

A deeper explanation of what “Gather Well” means to us and why we chose these words lives in a new blog on our old site (new one under construction!) link ⬆️

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted and even l

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted and even longer since we’ve been actively engaged on this app. That decision has been a conscious one. We came to consensus when we started this account that CCM would engage social media the “old fashioned” way, declining to agree to the terms of use that seem to be compatible with growth and exposure (frequent posting, videos and the kind of constant engagement that means any of our staff are spending a lot of time on their phones). That said, we did and do enjoy sharing on this platform as well as seeing what is out there in the realm of social media as it pertains to transformation and healing.
🦋
For the past 6 months or so, we have suspended activity on social media for the most part, while we do a deep dive into who are and attend to some internal restructuring and redesigning of our offerings. We are asking some fundamental questions like “Who are we as an organization and how do we want to contribute to change?” “How can we restructure our program offerings to be in deeper alignment with our values?” “How can this work become more intersectional and accessible?” “How do we want to participate in this space?” With our re-emergence, we may transition to a new name and account in the future. Should that be the case, we will invite you all to join us in that new space.

Thanks for your continued support during this period of introspection…

Your friends at the Center for Consciousness Medicine 💗

The body, all of life for that matter, is continua

The body, all of life for that matter, is continually expanding and contracting. For those of us drawn to expanded states of consciousness, it's easy to focus on expansion and to even overemphasize experiences where we've been blown open. Part of the reason we are so passionate about Psychedelic Assisted Therapy is the attention given to preparation and integration, to what happens before and after an expansive state. May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth , perhaps a good time to bring some gentleness to the slower forms of healing and growth, to honoring our contractive states as much as the expansive ones for their brilliantly adaptive way of keeping us safe and giving us an opportunity to metabolize new information. 🌱
