Australian Psychedelic Society

The APS
Society & Culture

The Australian Psychedelic Society hosts integration circles, book clubs, film screenings and panels across Australia. We hope that in creating communities across Australia we can better advocate for the decriminalisation of psychedelics and break stigmas associated with psychedelic use. By creating a cohesive network, it is hoped that changes in drug policy, education and use will be established based on evidence-based information, rather than fear-based misinformation.

  • 6 - Chara Caruthers

    Chara Caruthers is a skilled facilitator with decades of personal and professional practice as an educator, therapist and lifestyle medicine practitioner working with groups and individuals. Her life and work is grounded in eastern spiritual traditions, ancient and indigenous wisdom and modern science and philosophy. She holds a professional certification in psychedelics, entheogens and transpersonal psychology, is a graduate of the Center for Holding Space Foundations program at the Leadership level, and is currently completing a master of science in transpersonal psychology.  As a Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), certified Ayurvedic practitioner and psychedelic researcher, she is passionately dedicated to building bridges between ancient lifestyle traditions and modern western medical approaches to mental health and wellbeing.  Chara believes that a loving and supportive community is the vital and often missing piece of the picture of wellbeing for so many.  She recognises that her work in the psychedelic space is that of building and empowering community as a container for embodying our wholeness.
