Stone West was born from lived experience with substance use issues, mental health challenges, grief and disconnection from the earth and its wisdom. As a non-profit global foundation, Stone West is dedicated to supporting Indigenous communities through reciprocity initiatives while providing accessible holistic treatments, psychedelic therapies, and ancestral education to underserved individuals.

For more than a decade, its directors have devoted their lives to guiding, teaching, and protecting the integrity of ceremony, ritual, and tradition. Having experienced substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD, they came to understand that much of human suffering stems from disconnection from self and the natural world.

From ibogaine clinics in Mexico to the high Andes of Peru to the villages of Gabon, their collective experience and lifelong study continue to deepen. Through these experiences, one truth has become clear: there is still not enough ancestral education.

Stone West exists to restore balance between worlds–science and ceremony, privilege and need, giving and receiving. Guided by the belief that lasting impact begins with the next right step, it builds bridges that strengthen communities and preserve cultural wisdom.
