About Us

The Santa Cruz Psychedelic Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a supportive community for individuals and groups exploring expanded states of consciousness. Our mission is to promote personal growth, mental health, and well-being through practices such as meditation, movement, spiritual exploration, and the safe and intentional use of plant medicines and entheogenic compounds.

Based in Santa Cruz, California, we provide opportunities for local engagement through activities such as Peer Integration sessions, Microdosing Hikes, and our monthly educational community event, The Psychedelic Connection. Our work is rooted in creating a safe, inclusive, and informed space for learning, connection, and healing.

We do not provide or sell any illegal substances and fully comply with all local laws and regulations.
