What does Ouroboros even mean?
The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol, typically depicted as a snake or dragon devouring its own tail.
It first appeared in ancient Egyptian iconography in 1400 BCE- where it represented the sun’s cyclical journey and the regenerative power of the afterlife.
The Greeks later adopted the symbol, using it to convey ideas of wholeness, and associated it with alchemy,
Over milenea, Ouroboro took on broader philosophical meanings, signifying infinity, unity, and rebirth.
We chose the name Ouroboros because we see no better analogy for psychedelic therapy than rebirth through alchemy.We also believe our project represents unity, and can help create new advances in mental health research that change how we see mental health and how we treat one another globally.
We are a registered UK non-profit dedicated to funding psychedelic research.
We do this primarily through immersive fundraising events, and philanthropic projects which you can take a at here.
We also host educational workshops dedicated to psychedelic research advocacy, fostering responsible exploration of psychoactive substances, and promoting mental well-being.
Through education and community engagement, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate these experiences safely and meaningfully.
