MindMap Psychotropic Services
and psychedelic Cultural Center


“the map is not the territory”
 


 

In a landmark election on November 3, 2020, voters in Oregon approved several historic ballot measures, including Measure 109. This measure introduced Oregon’s legalization of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in more than 200 species of fungi.

The measure does not legalize psilocybin outright, but allows for a regulated system of medical use, by setting up a state-licensed psilocybin-assisted therapy system. These services will be provided at licensed service centers recognized by the Oregon Health Authority, at the conclusion of a two year development phase. Individual sessions will be overseen by a certified facilitator, licensed through the Oregon Health Authority.

Following the conclusion of the development phase and certification process, these services will be provided  at the MindMap Psychedelic Services Center in Ashland, Oregon, beginning in late 2022/early 2023. In the interim, we plan to offer alternative psychotropic services, prior to the finalized Oregon Health Authority plan.

We will provide a broad array of psychotropic services including initial assessment, psychedelic facilitating, coaching, “sitter” and integration services. Our facility will house a psychedelic cultural center, covering diverse psychedelic practices, from multiple ethnic and indigenous traditions, including the Western Psychedelic tradition.

If you plan to travel to Southern Oregon in the near future, and are interested in accessing these services... or would like to be kept abreast of developments at the psychotropic services being offered at MindMap... please select the link below, to be included in our e-mailing list.

We hope to hear from you soon, and remember... the map is not the terratory.

Psychedelic  psy•che•del•ic (sahy-ki-del-ik) - adjective/noun

A mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of euphoria. Also of, relating to, or referencing a variety of substances producing this state, such as LSD25, mescaline, or psilocybin.

Resembling, characteristic of, or reproducing images, sounds, or the like, experienced while in such a state:
psychedelic painting, psychedelic music, psychedelic prose, etc.

Referencing a psychedelic drug or a person who uses such a substance.

Etymology: The term "psychedelic" is derived from the Ancient Greek words psychē (ψυχή, "soul") and dēloun (δηλοῦν, "to make visible, to reveal") ...translating to "soul-revealing."

Psychedelia  psy•che•del•ia (sahy-ki-del-yə) - noun

A modern (late 20th, early 21st century) subculture of those who have experienced psychedelic realities, in the tradition of and as experienced and observed by preceding entheogenic and shamanic cultures, world wide.  Often associated with modern psychoactive compounds such as LSD25 or MDMA. The term is also used to describe a style of psychedelic artwork and psychedelic music. Psychedelic art and music typically try to recreate or reflect the experience of altered consciousness. Psychedelic art uses bright, neon colors, highly distorted and surreal visuals and full spectrum audio to evoke and convey to a viewer or listener the artist's experience of psychedelic realities, or to enhance the understanding of psychedelic experience. Psychedelic music uses distorted electric guitar, Indian music elements such as the sitar, electronic effects, sound effects and reverberation, and elaborate studio effects, such as playing tapes backwards or panning the music from one side to another.

Psychedelic states may be elicited by various techniques, such as trauma, sensory stimulation or deprivation, meditation, athletics, and most notoriously, by the use of psychedelic substances. When these psychoactive substances are used for religious, shamanic, or spiritual purposes, they are termed entheogens.

Entheogen  en•the•o•gen (ĕn-thē′ō-jən) - noun

From Greek, literally meaning “generating the divine within,” is any psychoactive substance, usually one derived from plants or fungi but also from the secretions of animals such as toads,  that induces a spiritual experience and is aimed at spiritual development. Traditionally ingested by a shaman or another participant in a ritual in order to produce visions or gain mystical insight. In the recent past, commonly called “hallucinogens,” “psychedelics,” “psychotomimetics,” etc.
