Culture of Care + Solidarity
This space recognizes the impacts and intersectional nature of systemic oppressions including racism, homophobia, transphobia and transmisogyny, ableism, classism, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and other harmful structures that are upheld by white supremacy culture. We are explicitly LGBTTQ2S+ affirming, pro-sex worker, anti-racist, in support of disabled and neurodivergent bodies, and approach each member of this community with a spirit of dignity and mutual humanity. We believe that dismantling systems of oppression is important work that benefits everyone; we all live at intersections, we all benefit and are harmed by oppression in different ways and to different degrees. We seek to build a space that centres the wisdom of lived experience, and holds us all in our mutual humanity.
Embracing Discomfort
Please recognize that the norms and values of the dominant culture are not always the norms of this space. At times this might feel strange or uncomfortable and we may not understand everything right away. Developing skills to sit with that is part of the work of being here. It might take some time to feel things out and get comfortable – that’s okay. Please give it time, stay curious in your reactions, and be self-responsive in taking time to pause, resource, and check in with yourself as things arise.
Some topics which may arise include decolonising psychedelics, cultural appropriation, trauma-informed care, and psychedelic integration.
