A safe, sacred space to integrate and discuss the role of psychedelics in your recovery journey
🌵 PIR® — Psychedelics In Recovery™ — is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and unincorporated Fellowship of supporting people from all 12-step programs and other paths of recovery who share our experience, strength and hope with each other who also have an interest in psychedelics and/or plant medicines as an aid to our recovery — a space where entheogens, 12-step principles, recovery from addictive behaviors, and harm-reduction practices sit together rather than in opposition. 🙏
Our primary purpose is to pursue recovery and help others do the same, as defined by the individual. The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from our addictive behaviors and/or an interest in psychedelics as an aid to our process of recovery.
This organization's GitHub presence is early — most of PIR®'s actual work happens at psychedelicsinrecovery.org (WordPress-hosted) and through in-person and virtual community meetings. This space exists for the technical side of that work as it grows: site tooling, documentation, and — eventually — any code the community needs in the open. ✨
Right now, LitCom and TechCom run on WhatsApp threads and Zoom calls — which works, but it's not where anyone can see what's cooking, or how to jump in. 🍄 We're dreaming up something with more color: two portals that are equal parts help-desk, open kitchen, and open door —
- 🌈 A living status board — what LitCom and TechCom are actually working on right now, out where the whole community can watch it unfold instead of scrolling back through chat history.
- 🎫 A real ticket system — report a site issue, propose a piece of content, ask a question — without needing to know a single person's name or catch anyone at the right moment.
- 🌱 A call to service — because the deepest version of this isn't a form, it's an invitation. If reading this makes you want to get your hands dirty, don't wait for the portal — reach out through PIR®'s service page → today.
Nothing's live yet on the technical side. Watch this org — the trip's just getting started. 🌀
-
📇 Contacts & structure → — who serves where, committee mailboxes, subdomains, and how to request GitHub access for your service role.
-
🛡️ Privacy policy → — one plain-language policy for both websites, Discord, and GitHub.
-
🏠 Org root page → — where the org's GitHub Pages presence lives.

While psychedelics are not considered inherently addictive, we practice mindfulness and accountability around the intentions we carry in the utilization of these medicines. We recognize that some in recovery may form addictive patterns with anything that induces altered states. If we find we are using these experiences in self-destructive ways or as a means to escape or avoid, we practice rigorous honesty with ourselves and trusted others in order to promptly restore a healthy recovery process.
