Our Vision
The MIND Foundation envisions a healthier, more connected world through evidence-based, safe, and legal applications of the psychedelic experience.
We support and conduct high-quality psychedelic research.
We translate science into everyday language to support people in living healthy and meaningful lives.
We work with policymakers to create safe and legal environments for the psychedelic experience.
We train professionals and educate the public on psychedelic treatments, integration, evidence-based harm reduction, and human development.
We encourage communities to build beneficial, knowledge-based, and risk-aware attitudes around psychedelics.
The MIND Foundation is a European non-profit registered under German law (HRB 220247 B). Revenue from the MIND Academy cannot be extracted by individuals. It is fully used to support the organization’s public benefit purposes and reduce our dependence on donations for core activities – providing us and you with the opportunity to use donations for research and social projects.
Our Vision
DIVERSITY AT MIND
MIND is proud to welcome people from all walks of life to get involved with our organization. Whether it’s making MIND Academy programs accessible, or warmly welcoming and encouraging a variety of perspectives within the MIND office, we are committed to bringing a focus to this important matter as our organization grows over the coming years.
BEWUSSTSEINSKULTUR
One of the core tenets of the MIND Foundation is to facilitate human societal advancement in the direction of a Bewusstseinskultur, a culture of consciousness. Such a culture fosters working towards an understanding of the relational aspects of the human species to its surroundings.
It advocates a public discourse based on knowledge and openness, evaluating altered states of consciousness and their value for individuals and society, thereby empowering both.
OUR PARTNERS
The MIND Foundation is proud to work together with a number of prominent organizations worldwide. MIND is able to accomplish its goals as a psychedelic research and education organization in large part because of the cooperations and collaborations it has with these organizations. MIND is committed to continuing to grow its network and build relationships with organizations that share its values and philosophy.
