The New Griot - Decolonizing Mental Health Through Psychedelic Science

Our Mission

Reclaiming Sacred Healing Traditions

For centuries, Black and Brown communities have held profound wisdom about plant medicines and altered states of consciousness. This program honors that legacy while equipping you with clinical competencies for the modern therapeutic landscape.

Culturally-Rooted Healing

Learn approaches that center Black and Brown experiences, integrating ancestral practices with evidence-based protocols.

Community-Centered Care

Develop frameworks that prioritize collective wellness, intergenerational healing, and community resilience over individualistic models.

Rigorous Training

Comprehensive curriculum covering neuroscience, therapeutic techniques, ethics, and the sociopolitical context of psychedelic medicine.

"The griot carries the stories, wisdom, and healing traditions of the ancestors. In the psychedelic renaissance, Black and Brown voices must not only be heard but lead the way."
