Nectara

A world where all people can find well-being

Psychedelic therapy can spark a new paradigm of health, connection, and harmony. Focusing on the peak experience itself isn't enough to fulfill that potential. Holistic and long-term support is needed to bridge the psychedelic experience into positive and long-lasting everyday change.

The psychedelic space has a preparation and integration debt. With our partners, we are helping journeyers, retreats, and facilitators fulfill the true promise of psychedelics.

Our philosophy

01.

Every day is a ceremony

We’re in the less psychedelics and more integration school of thought. Every moment in our lives invites us into fertile grounds for peeling the layers, deepening our wellness practices, and integrating. Through daily intentionality and dedication, we view integration as a continually unfolding journey of beauty and wisdom.

02.

Wellness is holistic

Psychedelics are not a magic bullet. For long-term and meaningful growth to happen, all aspects of our mind, body, and soul must be seen, held, and nurtured. Psychedelic wellness means engaging with a variety of modalities, practices, and perspectives to help guide the deep process of embodying our highest potential.

03.

Science meets sacredness

Blending modern science with ancient wisdom gives us a richer lens from which we can experience life and our journey back home. By bridging the two together, we are helping people reach deeper levels of connection with themselves, others, and our shared web of life.

04.

Co-creating a new paradigm

Our lives and what we create are only as good as the quality of our relationships. We strive to show up in ways that favour collaboration over silos, regeneration over extraction, intention over speed, and purpose over profit. We are in sacred service to a greater story than ourselves and we stand for the ethical expansion of the psychedelic space.

Social enterprise

Intentional and purpose-driven

We founded Nectara as a social enterprise—striving to embody the lessons of empathy, mutuality, and interconnection that psychedelic medicines have blessed us with. Giving back and reimagining business as kinder, more collaborative, and heart-centred are at the core of why we exist.

01.

10% of our net profits are donated to Chacruna's Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative.

02.

Supporting the ethical unfoldment of the psychedelic space by uplifting and collaborating with aligned partners, retreats, and people.

03.

Sliding scale pricing and pro-bono services are built into all our offerings, from hourly rates to our events and community spaces.

04.

Guided by our community and guiding principles to welcome in better ways to live, serve, and grow.

05.

Business as a vehicle for regeneration. We strive to operate as a means towards self-reflection and as a practice of embodiment for the lessons plant medicines are teaching us. From our legal structure to our relationships, intention and purpose are woven into everything we do.
