Dear Friends, Allies, and Kin,
We are overjoyed to share a momentous occasion with you: the launch of the very first Psychedelic Parenthood Community (PPC) newsletter! This marks the beginning of a shared journey where parents and caregivers worldwide unite to weave bonds of love, healing, and solidarity.
As psychedelic parents raising three children, we know the challenges all too well. Balancing family life and work can feel overwhelming, and the path we walk often feels lonely. Like many of you, we’ve also experienced the weight of stigma and prejudice that comes with being a psychedelic family. These experiences fuel our commitment to creating a community where every family feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Our mission is rooted in gratitude and purpose: to empower families and caregivers to explore the transformative potential of psychedelics with intention, safety, and community. Together, we’re fostering spaces where growth and connection thrive.
We honor the ancestral knowledge that guides this path, the wisdom of Indigenous peoples, and the resilience of marginalized communities who have safeguarded these sacred practices for generations. PPC stands as a beacon of resistance against systemic prejudice, religious intolerance, and the social stigmas rooted in the war on drugs.
We are here to listen and learn from you. We aim to raise the voices of psychedelic families, uplift invisible stories, and protect those who are often overlooked. Together, we are shaping a future where every family feels safe, supported, and heard.
Our vision is bold but grounded: the future we strive for is deeply ancestral and profoundly possible. We’re building a world where children are raised in connection with their roots, diversity is celebrated, and collective care is a shared responsibility.
As we step into this new chapter, let’s remind ourselves of the power we hold as a community. Through stories, resources, and mutual support, we are creating a space where transformation begins with us.
We are also incredibly excited about what’s to come in 2025! This next year holds so much potential for growth, connection, and new beginnings—and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We’re thrilled to grow, learn, and dream together. Welcome to the PPC family—your presence makes all the difference.
In solidarity and gratitude,
