Sobriety
(Abstinence of psychoactive & hallucinogenic substances)

A psychoactive substance impacts brain function, leading to changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, emotions, or behaviour. A 

hallucinogenic substance alters a person's perception of reality

​

Examples of psychoactive substances include alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, plant-based medicines, and pain-relief medications. Many illegal drugs, such as heroin, LSD, cocaine, and amphetamines, also fall into this category.

 

​​Certain natural substances, like bufo (toad venom), hallucinogenic mushrooms (psilocybin), cacti such as peyote or San Pedro (mescaline), and the leaves, flowers, or buds of plants used in preparations like ayahuasca are also psychoactive & hallucinogenic.

While these substances may not be physically addictive, they can create mental or psychological dependence.

Additionally, their use may lead to serious short- or long-term effects, including psychosis and enduring flashbacks.
 

In our community, we embrace alternative strategies to fulfil

the human needs for connection with nature, inspiration, healing, psychological support, and addiction recovery. We believe these needs can be met without relying on substances that alter consciousness, behaviour, or perception and carry potential health risks.

​

We uphold the values of sobriety, clarity, focus, and presence in our shared reality, which are essential to our way of life.
