The Pearl Institute Goal
The Pearl Institute has been created to bring cutting edge, alternate trauma therapy, and to advance the study and understanding of psychedelic medicines through research, treatment, training and community education.
Institute activities will be conducted safely, ethically and with the deepest respect for the medicines and the people involved in this work. The long-term goal as these medicines become legalized is to establish a reduced cost clinic in Western North Carolina where these emerging treatments can be accessible to those in need.
"I would love it if somebody would put the energy into studying the mind and psychedelics to the extent that we could start to talk about these things and somebody could even throw forth a few suggestions as to what might be happening. There's no body of information---we need more research. These are questions that we should be asking. This is the important stuff."
Jerry Garcia, American musician
