JBU uses the science of psychology, to share a guided journey to help you make the most of your expanded states through caring and reciprocal partner experiences. Be held in a safe container with other community members, and to hold space for others
JBU Us is a tool to prepare and integrate psychedelic experiences between a non-judgmental, considerate and caring partner who is also on a journey, designed to help you plan, prepare, optimize and make sense of psychedelic experiences. Pairs work together to prepare for the journey over the course of four weeks, using comprehensive, cutting edge techniques from positive, social and clinical psychology to assist each other to maximize the time they spend in expanded states and to fully integrate their insights into everyday life.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression (as well as MDMA for PTSD) ’Breakthrough Therapy’ designation. This classification means that the treatment has demonstrated significant potential in early clinical trials, opening the way for the FDA to expedite subsequent development and review processes. The major Clinialtrials.gov database lists 31 research trials using psilocybin (that are recruiting, active or completed), 9 using LSD, and a further 45 using the psychedelic-linked MDMA.
Private sector and universities/research institutions are working diligently on the potential impact of psychedelics on human well-being and health. For example, COMPASS life sciences company is working on a phase IIb psilocybin dose-ranging study with 216 patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression, intending then to move onto a major phase III study to better help those suffering from this common and difficult to treat disorder.

We will work through a holistic model to address each element in pursuit of health, happiness and wholeness.
Psychedelics have been part of human healing for thousands of years and recently the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression (as well as MDMA for PTSD) ’Breakthrough Therapy’ designation. This classification means that the treatment has demonstrated significant potential in early clinical trials, enabling the FDA to speed development and review processes. While there are other disorders where psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (for example, alcohol dependency, quitting smoking, distress in severe terminal illness). JBU exists to help healthy preparation and integration for those who choose to take an entheogen.
Before and during the 2020 Election cycle, several cities and states have shifted their perspective on the legality of the use of entheogens. The past is merging with the future.
The three stages of Journey Between Us
In the first preparation sessions, you’ll get to know each other and form a trusting relationship, so you can approach your journey with an appreciation of change, hope and care.
During your experience, you’ll listen to a music playlist (of your choice or we can provide some ideas) and wear an eye mask, to help you focus internally. Journeys can last 6-8 hours, with a sitter. This is your Journey - be aware of responsible use and your obligations to yourself.
Sharing the experiences of your Journey. Unpacking insights and ideas from your Journey to gain perspective, change, breathing life into unhelpful behavioral and emotional patterns.
Contemporary psychedelic science supports the use of psychological tools in preparatory and integration stages. On both sides of the voyage, the major benefits of Journey Between us come from a deeper understanding of your needs, tools and guidance for your well-being and journey, and then an interpretation of your psychedelics voyage after the journey has ended. After the journey your transformation can take place, and integrated into your everyday life.
Mission: We offer safe, informed and science based tools to help best engage with expanded states of consciousness to support healing, personal growth and the evolution of culture.
The growing body of scientific literature supports safe and informed use of expanded states. Recent research suggests that psychedelics, combined with a variety of healing modalities, might be helpful for a number of difficult-to-treat psychological disorders. While JBU does not target hard to treat conditions, there is evidence supporting the use of expanded states for health and well-being in general population settings.
