“Psychedelic Feminism” is a term coined and concept originated by Cosmic Sister's founder, Zoe Helene, to describe an environmental sub-genre of feminism that embraces the power of psychedelics from a women’s healing, empowerment, self-liberation perspective. Women have been forced to work within a broken system with an extreme power imbalance for millennia. This imbalance has warped and continues to warp the way we are evolving as a species. Our voices matter.

Our Psychedelic Feminism educational advocacy initiatives encourage women to explore the wilderness within, where they can grow, heal and learn more deeply about themselves, and where they can to explore core feminist issues in fresh and exciting ways. We promote intentional journeying with natural psychedelics in a safe, legal “set and setting,” and we help to bring women’s voices to the forefront in the field of psychedelics (and beyond).

Our interconnected series of merit-based advocacy projects include; Cosmic Sisters of Cannabis and Cosmic Sister Women of the Psychedelic Renaissance educational initiatives, and the original immersive Cosmic Sister Plant Spirit Grant. The Cosmic Sister Emerging Voices Award shines a light on outstanding individuals in the field of psychedelics (and cannabis) to strengthen their visibility. We also offer Cosmic Sister Special Talent Scholarships for women to explore unique educational opportunities. Our new Cosmic Sister Ancestor Medicine Award supports women who wish to explore and express cultural treasures (and traumas) from their genetic ancestral lines, with a focus on self-liberation, empowerment, and dis-covering and reclaiming herstory.

The projects have been featured in a wide range of MEDIA.

PLEASE SUPPORT COSMIC SISTER. Thank you.

COSMIC SISTER PLANT SPIRIT GRANT

The Cosmic Sister Plant Spirit Grant (CS PSG) is a merit-based program that supports outstanding women from all walks of life and in different times of life as they experience the profound healing and consciousness-expanding journey of ayahuasca ceremony with Indigenous healers in the Peruvian Amazon. Ayahuasca, a traditional psychedelic brew, is not only legal in Peru, it is designated as a “Cultural Treasure” by the Peruvian government.
