Zendo Project will be offering psychedelic peer support and compassionate care at the upcoming Phish shows at Folsom Field on July 3, 4, and 5. Zendo travels to music festivals and shows to create a calm space with teams of trip sitters so if someone at the show is experiencing psychological or emotional distress (related or unrelated to psychedelics). At the upcoming Boulder shows, they will have their team present and working alongside the other safety teams (medical and security) at the venue, available to anyone who needs a grounded touch-in or support throughout the three-night run. If you, or someone you encounter feels overwhelmed or in need of a calm space to land, find their sanctuary between gates 4 and 5; trained volunteers will sit with you, support you, and help make sure your experience is met with care.

Zendo Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the way we care for people navigating challenging psychedelic and emotional experiences. Founded by mental health professionals and supported by a diverse team of volunteers — including doctors, therapists, nurses, social workers, and harm reduction experts — Zendo Project has provided peer support services at events around the world and trained thousands in compassionate care.
