Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode we discuss PsyCare’s origins in festival harm reduction, their growth into a respected welfare organization, and Amanda’s vision of bringing these safe spaces to high streets and everyday communities. Amanda shares insights into the challenges and potential of creating non-judgmental, inclusive environments where people can access support, from a cup of tea to integration circles, outside of clinical or retreat settings. We also touch on the value of lived experience, the rise of volunteer interest, and how PsyCare is bridging psychedelic care with broader mental health needs. Join us as we unpack the evolution of psychedelic peer support and its growing relevance in today’s world.

About Amanda:Amanda Guzinska’s adventurous spirit and deep curiosity about humanity led her to PsyCare UK. Since volunteering in 2011, her dedication quickly advanced her to administrator, trustee, and ultimately manager in 2024. During this time, PsyCare UK has grown into a thriving therapeutic community, supporting hundreds annually. Her vision is to expand PsyCare’s impact beyond festivals, creating local community hubs nationwide, ensuring accessible and compassionate crisis support & psychedelic aftercare.
