Whether you're navigating low mood, seeking sharper focus, or simply wanting to feel more present — microdosing has real potential. This course gives you the structure to realise it.
You're exploring microdosing for mental health — managing anxiety, low mood, or burnout — and want a careful, evidence-informed approach rather than a generic protocol.
You're drawn to microdosing for focus, creativity, or cognitive clarity, and want to understand how to work with it rather than just optimise with it.
You're drawn to microdosing as a path toward self-understanding, spiritual growth, or a deeper sense of connection — and want to approach it with the care it deserves.
You want structure, reflection, and honest science — not just dosing instructions — and you're willing to do the inner work that makes microdosing meaningful.
You're looking for community — people navigating this with the same level of care and intention.
You're looking for a quick protocol, a guaranteed outcome, or a shortcut. This course is structured, reflective, and asks something of you.
"I loved this microdosing course. Not only did it provide practical instructions on how to microdose, but it gave me a lot of tools for how to process emotions, negative beliefs, and anything else that might come up. It's a really well-rounded course created with a lot of forethought and care."
"This course and community helped me slow down and notice how subtle my responses actually were. I stopped trying to 'get something' from microdosing and started listening."

Access to monthly integration and breathwork circles held by members of our team of experienced and educated guides — included with your enrolment.
Albert Hofmann — who first synthesized LSD — used microdosing in his later years to enhance clarity, creativity, and connection to nature, viewing it as a sacred tool for consciousness exploration rather than a scientific curiosity. Stanislav Grof found that sub-perceptual doses could reach deeper layers of the psyche while keeping people emotionally grounded — insight and healing without the intensity of a full experience.
Long before the term emerged, Indigenous communities — particularly in the Amazon — used low doses of plant medicines as part of ongoing spiritual, relational, and medicinal practice: enhancing connection to the natural world, maintaining energetic balance, and deepening participation in the living community of species. These traditions represent a long-standing understanding of non-visionary, relational engagement with plant medicines.
Drawing on peer-reviewed research, harm-reduction principles, and benefit-maximization practices — without overclaiming what the science does and doesn't support.
Emphasizing awareness over outcome chasing. The aim is not to optimize yourself but to observe yourself — clearly, honestly, and with compassion.
Framing microdosing as a relationship with living organisms — one that asks for attention and reciprocity, not just a desired outcome.
Prioritizing nervous-system stability, pacing, and psychological safety throughout. The course is designed to contain, not push.
Establishing the essential knowledge and safety foundations before beginning your practice.
Deepening through contemplative and somatic practices that amplify and ground your experience.
Weaving the experience into life — ecological awareness, ongoing practice, and what comes next.

As founder of Psygaia, Louis has spent years working directly with people navigating psychedelic experiences — building this course around what he observed them genuinely needing, not just what the literature recommends. He holds an MA in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies from the University of Ottawa, an interdisciplinary background in Psychology, Philosophy, and Religious Studies from McGill, and is a certified yoga and breathwork teacher.
Louis created this course in response to a gap he observed in psychedelic education — where technical protocols dominate, and the inner, reflective work that makes microdosing genuinely meaningful gets lost. His approach frames microdosing as a reflective and relational practice, grounded in ethics, ecology, and honest self-inquiry.
Our free introduction to microdosing covers the essentials — protocol basics, safety considerations, and what to expect. No pressure, no pitch. Just a place to begin.
Get the GuideIn most countries, the substances typically used for microdosing — psilocybin mushrooms and LSD — remain controlled. This course does not encourage illegal activity. It provides education so that if you choose to engage with these substances, you do so with as much knowledge and care as possible. You are always responsible for understanding the laws in your jurisdiction.
The course focuses primarily on psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD, and cannabis as the most commonly used microdosing substances. The principles, practices, and safety frameworks taught apply broadly across sub-perceptual psychedelic use.
No. The course is designed for people at all levels of familiarity, including those who have never used psychedelics at all. Week 1 begins with the absolute foundations. Curiosity and a willingness to reflect are the only prerequisites.
Each lesson is designed to be completed in 20–40 minutes. The reflective practices that accompany each week can be integrated into your existing morning or evening routine. There is no live attendance required — you work entirely at your own pace.
That is a completely valid outcome — and one the course is designed to support. One of the stated outcomes is helping you decide with clarity whether microdosing is right for you at this stage of life. Arriving at a confident "not yet" or "not for me" is as valuable as beginning a practice.
This course isn't therapy and doesn't replace professional mental health support. That said, it was built with these experiences in mind — with a trauma-informed approach, a strong emphasis on psychological safety, and content that directly addresses how microdosing interacts with mood and emotional regulation. Many students come to the course navigating anxiety or low mood, and find the structure and community genuinely supportive.
This is covered in the course. SSRIs and other psychiatric medications can interact with psychedelics in complex ways — in some cases reducing or blocking their effects, in others creating unpredictable responses. The course provides honest, evidence-informed guidance on these interactions and helps you make an informed decision about whether microdosing is appropriate given your current situation. We always recommend consulting a healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication or adding a new practice.
No. The course is spiritually inclusive but not spiritually prescriptive. It draws on mindfulness traditions, ecopsychology, and contemplative practices without aligning with any specific religion or belief system. You bring your own relationship to meaning.
