An optional grounding pause. If you'd like, let your attention rest on the circle as it slowly expands and returns. Stay as long, or as little, as feels useful.

Optional grounding pause

Pause here, if useful

A moment to settle. If it helps, let your attention rest on the circle as it slowly opens and returns. There's no right way to do this, and no need to do it at all.

Her legacy

Carrying Sheri's work forward

The Sheri Eckert Foundation was established in 2021 to honor Sheri's legacy, and to continue the work she began in helping create the United States' first publicly available, state-regulated psilocybin healthcare model. The foundation supports equitable access to psilocybin services so that more people can experience the care Sheri believed in.

"If you take the time to explore yourself, to listen to your spirit, to walk among the many less frequented paths within your mind, I am sure you will be amazed at the mesmerizing beauty you will find."
