About

The Modern Psychonaut is a source for those who embrace altered states as tools for self-discovery, healing, and expansion, as well as for those who are curious or quietly intrigued by these transformative practices.

We honour the profound role of altered states accessed through psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, sound, and deep communion with nature as gateways to wisdom, transformation, and connection.

The Modern Psychonaut is grounded in the belief that altered states, when met with an open mind, awareness, and responsibility, can support personal healing and inner transformation. Through this platform, we share knowledge, reflections, and experiential wisdom through articles, guides, and stories, offering pathways for growth and meaningful connection.

By honouring nature and the interconnectedness of all beings, we aim to create a space that invites understanding and expanded awareness. Our intention is not to instruct or direct, but to offer perspectives that empower individuals to trust their own inner intelligence and walk their path with clarity and care.

The Modern Psychonaut was founded by Tara Pearce, whose work is shaped by lived experience, creative inquiry, and a deep respect for altered states as teachers, rather than answers. The platform emerged from a desire to create a grounded, ethical, and human space where curiosity and self-responsibility can coexist.

The Modern Psychonaut is not defined by substances, but by the pursuit of depth, presence, and transformation. Through intention, integration, and community, we honour the infinite within and seek to illuminate this path for all who feel called to explore it.
