About the Furthur Fund
Expanding access to psychedelic care.
The Furthur Fund was created to help make psychedelic-assisted care more accessible to people whose work supports the wellbeing of others.
A renaissance that reaches more than a privileged few.
We believe that today’s psychedelic renaissance should not become another resource available only to those with the greatest financial means. It should also reach the people who spend their lives caring for, accompanying, and supporting others through suffering, transition, and change.
For several years, the Furthur Fund has helped provide ketamine and psilocybin experiences to service-oriented professionals — including healthcare workers, therapists, social workers, educators, first responders, peer support workers, and other frontline helping professionals.
Many of the people we serve spend their lives close to trauma, crisis, illness, grief, addiction, poverty, and social instability, often while carrying burnout, secondary trauma, emotional fatigue, and limited access to restorative care for themselves.
People who care for others also need spaces where they can be cared for.
Psychedelics are openings, not answers.
We do not understand psychedelic experiences as stand-alone solutions. We understand them as openings. When carefully prepared for, ethically held, and thoughtfully integrated over time, these experiences can help people encounter themselves, their relationships, and their lives with greater clarity, compassion, curiosity, and flexibility.
The Furthur Fund supports a model of care that is relational, dialogic, embodied, and grounded in ethical restraint. We are not interested in inflated promises, quick fixes, or one-size-fits-all models of transformation. Instead, we create conditions where people can slow down, feel supported, and allow new possibilities to emerge in relationship with others.
Restoring the relational heart of healing.
A distinctive strength of the Furthur Fund is the community of practitioners, educators, artists, facilitators, coaches, organizational consultants, and musicians who help bring this work to life. Our collaborators understand that healing is not only clinical — it is also relational, creative, embodied, and communal.
This allows us to design experiences that are emotionally safe, ethically grounded, aesthetically rich, and responsive to both individuals and groups. Preparation, music, dialogue, reflection, silence, ritual, integration, and community all play a role in helping participants metabolize their experiences over time.
Our approach draws from relational psychotherapy, Open Dialogue, Winnicottian psychology, harm reduction, and human-centered approaches to mental health. We believe healing often emerges not through explanation alone, but through experiences of being seen, supported, and invited back into meaningful participation with life.
Curiosity, imagination, spontaneity — restored.
Much of our work is centered on restoring what we call the capacity to play.
By play, we do not mean entertainment or distraction. We mean the human capacity for curiosity, imagination, spontaneity, creativity, dialogue, and meaningful engagement with life and others. Trauma, chronic stress, burnout, isolation, and rigid self-stories can narrow this capacity. People may become locked into familiar roles, fixed assumptions, or survival-based ways of relating to themselves and the world.
Psychedelic experiences, when held with care, can help loosen these patterns. They can create space for people to reconsider old stories, encounter multiple perspectives, reconnect with aliveness, and imagine new ways of being. But these openings require support. Without preparation and integration, even powerful experiences can remain confusing, fleeting, or difficult to carry into everyday life.
The Furthur Fund exists to support that deeper process.
Who we serve
People who hold others.
The Furthur Fund supports people in caregiving, healing, educational, and community-facing roles.
We are especially interested in supporting people who give deeply to others but may not otherwise have access to high-quality psychedelic care, preparation, and integration.
A ripple effect of care
Care that carries forward.
When helping professionals are supported, the impact does not stop with them. The care they receive can ripple outward into families, organizations, communities, and the many people they serve.
The Furthur Fund helps make that ripple possible by expanding access to psychedelic care and training for those who are prepared to carry its potential forward with humility, compassion, and responsibility.
We believe that the future of psychedelic care must be more than clinical innovation. It must also be relational, ethical, creative, and accessible. The Furthur Fund is our contribution to that future.
