Psychedelics 101

Nosce te ipsum — Know Thyself

The Foundational Course of Bufo University

Psychedelics 101 is the cornerstone offering of Bufo University—an invitation to explore consciousness through the lens of discipline, wisdom, and self-knowledge.

Rooted in the principle engraved in our crest—Nosce te ipsum (Know Thyself)—this course bridges ancient traditions and modern science, guiding students through the history, neurobiology, cultural context, and ethical responsibility of working with psychedelic substances.

We do not offer shortcuts.
We offer frameworks for understanding.

This is education—not facilitation.
Grounded in harm reduction. Anchored in integrity. Aligned with truth.

How We Teach

Each session follows the rhythm of the crest—structure, inquiry, reflection:

• Arrival — Grounding and presence

• Transmission — Clear, structured instruction

• Dialogue — Collective intelligence and perspective

• Integration — Application to lived experience

We honor science, spirit, and tradition—without dogma.

Optional Immersion Labs (Advanced Study)

For those who wish to go deeper into specific medicines:

• Bufo Immersion — Non-dual awareness, intensity, and integration

• Mushroom Immersion — Dosing, tradition, and therapeutic research

• Ayahuasca Immersion — Ceremony, dieta, pharmacology, ethics

• Iboga Immersion — Addiction research, duration, and safety

These are educational deep-dives, not ceremonies.
