Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm Reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in, and respect for, the rights of people who use drugs.
Four Principles
Zendo Project’s Four Important Principles of Psychedelic Harm Reduction
- Create a safe space
- Sitting, not guiding
- Talk through, not down
- Difficult is not the same as bad
Safety & Legalities
The use of psychedelic substances is illegal in most countries. Moreover, some substances may be adulterated with toxic, even potentially lethal drugs.

Mission

Through traditional and social media, art, and music, this day of celebration and discussion engages and unites the curious and experienced.
