![]() ![]() That’s because apps that take a sweeping approach to psychedelics likely lack the nuance necessary to help everyone make sense of what they’ve been through. Thus, an app like Homecoming, which is made to support and amplify personalized treatment (not replace it), may be a safer bet than an app that functions on its own. While many of these apps are available to anyone, which is useful for people who choose to self-medicate (and those who can’t afford professional therapy), there’s some concern among the psychedelic community that technology will eventually replace human connection, which would be bad news for trippers. “All this information, with the patient’s consent, can help their therapist keep track of progress and further individualize their treatment.” “The app combines tailored content and exercises with therapy progress measurements from check-ins,” says Yuriy Blokhin, Homecoming’s founder and CEO. Not only can this help you understand how your psychedelic treatment is going, it can also inform your therapist or guide. For example, if your social well-being feels impaired, it may prompt you to journal about your most meaningful connection. It allows patients to chronicle their physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being throughout the process, as well as suggests wellness-enhancing tasks (like journaling again), depending on which of those areas need more support. To that end, there are apps like Homecoming, which are specifically designed to accompany legal treatments offered by clinics, therapists and retreat centers. Others, especially those who use them alongside professional therapy, say they’ve revolutionized their approach to tripping. Some find them hard to navigate while tripping, which is understandable - pushing buttons on your phone doesn’t exactly seem attractive after a heroic dose of shrooms. There are even apps that aim to replicate psychedelic experiences for sober folks.īut for users, apps like these are a mixed bag. PsycheDev guides users through their trips, Trip leads them through specialized integration protocols (like journaling) and Wavepaths serves up sweet psychedelic soundscapes. ![]() Intricate rituals like these helped the Mayans make sense of their psychedelic trips, and while many of those trips forecasted the future, I’m sure they never could have imagined that in the year 2021, phone apps would replace their ceremonies.Įver since legalized psychedelics became a possibility a few years ago, apps designed to expand access to psychedelic therapy, promote more meaningful trips and support integration - i.e., making sense of whatever you experience - have been cropping up. Music, dance and a healthy dose of hallucinogens helped shepherd brave Mayan psychonauts into that metaphysical realm, where they communicated with gods and forces of nature (and came back with premonitions). Their elaborate drug-taking ceremonies were regularly performed in dim caves, which they believed served as points of access to the underworld. You can visit our Hours & Directions page for directions to the observatory, parking information, and a schedule of upcoming events.Thousands of years ago, the Mayans were ingesting all sorts of psychedelics, from peyote to magic mushrooms. To find out if the observatory is currently open, call (607)-255-3557 for a prerecorded message. During the summer, winter, and other Cornell breaks, we generally try to be open from 8pm to midnight if the weather is clear. We open the observatory every Friday night during the academic year from 8:00 PM until midnight, regardless of weather. Club members are given opportunities to learn how to use the historic 12" Irving Porter Church Refractor (finished in 1922) as well as many other telescopes at Fuertes. ![]() The club is open to Cornell undergraduate and graduate students, but faculty and staff members also occasionally volunteer at Fuertes Open House Nights and other Astronomy Department outreach events. The Cornell Astronomical Society & Fuertes Observatoryįounded in 1972, the Cornell Astronomical Society (CAS) is a Cornell University undergraduate student organization, and has run public observing nights at the Fuertes Observatory for nearly 50 years. ![]()
