Represent the revolution

“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.” — Carl Sagan

Psychonaut is an awareness project created to encourage healing, personal development and reconnection via transcendental experiences. The word Psychonaut can be traced back to ancient Greece with the word Psyche meaning “soul or spirit” and nautikos meaning “sailor,” translating to “sailor of the soul.” Psychonauts often use alternative states of consciousness as a tool for self-discovery, to reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world.

There is a revolution in progress. The current paradigms for how we approach certain mental and emotional issues will soon be shattered and replaced by highly effective psychedelic and/or plant-based therapies that allow for total transcendence from traumas.

Research is emerging daily about the efficacy of compounds such as psilocybin, DMT and MDMA on treating issues such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addiction, cluster headaches and end of life psychological distress.

Rather than medicate and “band aid” these undesirable energies that plague us, psychedelic and plant-based medicine alternatives provide opportunities to eradicate them completely. Not a benefit currently extended by our “medicate” philosophy.

As individuals that have experienced the extraordinary effects of these alternative treatments, the team at Psychonaut is experiencing total euphoria knowing the impact this will have on individuals and society as a whole… and we are ON A MISSION TO SPREAD THE WORD.

SELF DISCOVERY

AWARENESS IS GROWING

Each day, there are more and more prominent psychonauts sharing their vividly real and synchronistic experiences. They have explored inner and outer space, reaching beyond the rational to discover their own sacred truths. They have also helped to shatter the stigmas associated with Psychonaut culture. We believe their stories, and ours, are the key to unlocking the door to a “more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”—one built on love.

Recognizing that there are many access points to alternative states of mind, our goal is to raise awareness about the different methods from psychedelics, meditation, breathing techniques and more. Everyone is unique as is each tool for connecting to higher consciousness. Depending on your current reality and perception, some tools may be more effective than others. We view all doorways to psychedelic experiences as sacred tools to be used with great care and reverence.

ACCESS POINTS

Most people carry some level of trauma or history that prohibits them from being 100% themselves, with fear being at the root of it all. It could be something as simple as an embarrassing moment from grade school to something more complex and traumatic.

No matter what the perceived severity, memories and how those incidents made us feel shape our behaviors. The great news is you can heal and form new neural pathways to free yourself from energies that no longer serve you. All it takes is your willingness to try.

PSILOCYBIN

Microdosing with psilocybin has been shown to offer support in the way of alleviating depression, anxiety, and helping with brain repair and cell growth.

MEDITATION

Everything we need is inside of us. Meditation can prove to be a powerful tool for discovery on many levels. There is much to be learned from silence and stillness.

MDMA

MDMA has been proven to help with PTSD, feelings of peacefulness, acceptance, and empathy. It can also restore your sense of connectedness to others.

HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK

Holotropic breathwork (HB) has become increasingly popular among those seeking to explore a unique process of self-healing to attain a state of wholeness. This practice was developed by psychiatrists to achieve altered states of consciousness (without using compounds or plant medicine) as a potential therapeutic tool.

DMT

DMT, often drank as a brew called Ayahuasca, has been used in ceremonial practices for many centuries as a way to access wisdom and communicate with energies in other realms. It has gained popularity over recent years and is used for self-discovery and to heal trauma as well as treat addictions.

LSD

Microdosing LSD has been shown to have profound long-term effects on people with chronic illness or life-threatening diseases. These changes included reductions in anxiety, valuable insights, and improved quality of life. It has also been found to boost creatively and increase flow states.

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND

As individuals, we don’t have all the answers. Psychonauts are those that seek answers from both internal and external sources. We recognize that truth isn’t conveniently packaged in black and white and sometimes navigating to it can be a tumultuous experience. Reality can be subjective and appears to be an ever-changing landscape for those who choose to reconnect with and understand the collective. For Psychonauts, new realities are consistently revealed and, depending on your access point, they can appear in vivid technicolor. As we come together to explore the human experience with a sense of awe and curiosity, we break down barriers and find ourselves enjoying it with a more profound sense of joy and freedom.

THE COLLECTIVE

If you’ve ever been to a concert, you will understand what it feels like to be connected to a collective without ever really having to interact. As you stand among 10s of thousands of people enjoying the same music, you know you’re touched in a similar way to the same frequencies, the same words, the same energy. You are among your tribe.

We hope that Psychonaut will provide the same influence and inspiration, the same recognition and feeling of connectedness. Our apparel line uses a minimalist approach to expressing our way of life. We seek to form relationships with artists that wish to contribute to this movement, to help raise awareness and encourage those that are willing to expand their consciousness for themselves and for the greater good.
