FAQs
All Sensoria events and research protocols operate fully within legal frameworks. We work exclusively with methodologies that are legal in the jurisdictions where we facilitate events, while advocating for expanded research opportunities as laws evolve. Our focus is on using scientifically-validated approaches to understand and access beneficial mental states.
Safe exploration is paramount. Sensoria provides:
• Rigorous screening protocols
• Advanced laboratory and supply chain analysis of compounds
• Medical supervision and harm reduction systems
• Controlled environments
• Expert facilitation
• Integration support
Every aspect of our events and research is designed with participant care and wellbeing as the primary focus.
Not even close. While we are innovating in the design of immersive, engaging environments, Sensoria is fundamentally a research organization. Our events contain carefully designed immersive experiences that combine scientific rigor with optimal conditions for consciousness exploration. Every experience contributes to humanity's understanding of the mind.
Think of them like astronauts for inner space. Our intention for Certified Psychonauts to be trained professionals who combine deep personal experience with scientific documentation methods. They help map consciousness using standardized protocols, contributing to the first-ever comprehensive atlas of mental states, the Neurophenomenological State Space. Read our whitepaper for more details.
While our methods will evolve considerably over time as we advance in this scientific frontier, to put it simply, at this stage, our methods include:
• Advanced brain scanning technology (i.e. EEG, fNIRS)
• AI-powered phenomenology tools
• Rigorous subjective reporting protocols
• Experimental design methodologies applied to experience container design
• Environmental monitoring
This creates multi-dimensional data that helps us understand how different mental states arise and how to access them reliably.
We welcome serious explorers who share our mission of advancing human understanding of consciousness. Participants undergo careful screening and must demonstrate:
• Emotional maturity
• Clear intentions
• Clear mental health
• Commitment to protocols
• Willingness to contribute to research
Prices vary by event type and level of involvement. We aim to balance accessibility with the significant resources required for proper research conditions and safety protocols. Contact us for specific program details.
Our mission is to advance human flourishing by giving people greater understanding and control of their conscious states. The knowledge we're gathering will help create:
• More effective mental health treatments
• Enhanced creativity and problem-solving tools
• Deeper human connection
• Sustainable alternatives to pharmaceutical dependence
While we respect traditional practices, Sensoria combines ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science. We're creating the first scientifically-validated "map" of consciousness states, making beneficial mental states more reliably accessible to everyone.
We're expanding our research capabilities, developing new tools for consciousness exploration, and building a global community of Certified Psychonauts. Our goal is to certify 1,000 professional explorers by 2028, while continuing to advance our understanding of human consciousness. There will be a lot of incredible events and experiences along the way. Stay tuned!
