Reimagining Psychedelic Healing
Orb reimagines psychedelic therapy as decentralised, equitable, and accessible. AI guides while humans care, ensuring wisdom, safety, and inclusion. Healing moves beyond institutions into communities, blending tradition with technology. Orb’s handheld device and ergonomic, nature-inspired earphones use bone-conducting, biometric tech to monitor brain activity and vital signs, enhancing safety, comfort, and immersion.
Structured preparation, harm reduction, and post-experience integration are embedded throughout. Shamans, mentors, and experts walk alongside each journey, ensuring support remains deeply personal. Orb offers affordable, peer-supported experiences tailored to each individual, while honouring Indigenous knowledge and strengthening our relationship with nature. It explores how psychedelics can foster empathy, expand awareness, and reshape our relationship to the planet—helping us build more regenerative, interconnected futures.

A Provocation For The Future
Orb is not just a product—it’s a provocation that challenges the ethics of merging AI with psychedelics, raising concerns about consciousness, data privacy, and corporate monopolisation. While AI can enhance therapeutic experiences, it cannot fully capture the depth of human emotion, spirituality, or the complexities of psychedelic states. Orb critiques the accessibility of mental health care, advocating for decentralised, community-owned models over exclusive, profit-driven systems, and underscores the importance of preserving traditional and Indigenous knowledge.
It raises as many questions as it answers: Can we democratise psychedelic therapy without replicating existing power structures? How do we balance innovation with Indigenous wisdom, and ensure technology amplifies rather than replaces human connection? Orb invites us to imagine a world where healing reconnects us—with each other, the planet, and a future that values interdependence over extraction. As psychedelics enter the mainstream, we must decide: will they serve the few or benefit the whole? If psychedelics can dissolve ego boundaries, can they also help us transcend artificial divisions—of nation, race, and species—to cultivate a more conscious, connected world?
