A world where all people can find well-being
Psychedelic experiences can play a key role in sparking a new paradigm of health, connection, and harmony. To fulfill that potential, focusing on the peak experience itself isn't enough. Holistic and long-term support before and after are needed to bridge the psychedelic experience into powerful and sustainable everyday changes.
The psychedelic space currently has a preparation and integration debt. Nectara is helping people, retreats, and facilitators solve that problem.
Our philosophy
01.
Every day is a ceremony
We’re in the less psychedelics and more integration school of thought. Each and every moment of life can be grounds for peeling the layers, deepening our wellness practices, and expanding our awareness. Through daily intentionality and dedication, we view integration as a lifelong journey of unfoldment.
02.
Wellness is holistic
Psychedelics are not a magic bullet. We believe that for long-term and sustainable growth to occur, all aspects of our mind, body, and soul must be held and nurtured. The dark and the light. Psychedelic wellness means engaging with a variety of people, modalities, and perspectives to help guide the deep process necessary to truly embody our full potential.
03.
Science meets sacredness
Blending modern scientific perspectives with wisdom traditions gives us a more complete view of the world and a richer lens from which we can experience life and our journey back to wholeness. By bridging the two together, we are helping people harness and 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, listening over speaking, and purpose over profit. We are in sacred service to a greater story than ourselves. With our community and partners, we're co-creating an organization that stands for the ethical expansion of the psychedelic space.

Social enterprise
Intentional and purpose-driven
Everyone has a right to live better lives and resource themselves with the support they need. We created Nectara to give back to a community that has blessed our own lives so much. We're in humble service to support as many people as we can on their journey back to wholeness.
