What we’re about
Welcome to the Southwest Psychedelic Society
We are Kari and Andrea, co-hosts of the Southwest Psychedelic Society, and we’re deeply honored to welcome you into this sacred community. This is a space devoted to connection, education, and conscious exploration within the ever-evolving world of psychedelics—a gathering place for like-minded souls to learn, grow, and remember together.
Through virtual and in-person events, community gatherings, and immersive retreats, we create opportunities to celebrate the beauty of life, each other, and the greater mysteries of existence. With ceremony, shared intention, and embodied presence, we seek to elevate our lived experience and deepen our understanding of self, spirit, and healing.
At the heart of our work is a reverence for the transformative potential of entheogens. We hold sacred the process of integration—weaving the insights and healing from psychedelic experiences into the fabric of daily life. Our vision is to nurture a supportive, inclusive environment where curiosity is welcomed, healing is honored, and community thrives.
Whether you're just beginning your journey with psychedelics or have been walking this path for many years, we’re grateful to walk beside you.

Shamanic Breathwork & Hape Ceremony
The Healing Tree Collective, 1801 S Jentilly Ln Suite B8, Tempe, AZ, USShamanic Breathwork & Hapé Ceremony in Tempe!
Please join the AZ and Phoenix Psychedelic Society in sharing a beautiful and transformative afternoon connecting to your breath and medicine from the rainforest.
The intentions for this ceremony are to offer the community alternative methods in activating and connecting with the higher self.
Shamanic Breathwork is conscious connective breathing as a way to engage the Vagus Nerve (Cranial Nerve X) which activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) and potentially naturally made DMT.
The PNS is part of the autonomic nervous system that signals the body slow down, rest, digest, and regenerate. When we are able to disengage the fight-flight response, the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), then we are able to reset our mental and emotional triggers to support the re-wiring of the nervous system and restore the body to homeostasis.
Hapé is a sacred shamanic snuff, medicine from the indigenous tribes of the Amazon jungle. There are various properties contained in each mixture that promote profound healing effects. Hapé is made from a variety of medicinal plants used for different intentions such as inducing visions; increasing energy; grounding; and enhancing the all the subtle senses of the human experience. The medicine used reflects the jungle’s essence and the blow is the wind of the forest. Come and experience the spirit of the jungle though Hapé after your breathwork experiential.About the Breathwork Journey:
