Cosmic Sister® is an environmental feminist educational advocacy group founded in 2007 by cultural activist Zoe Helene, who coined the term Psychedelic Feminism. We have several interconnected projects in place supporting #WomenInPsychedelics, and we have hope for the future.
Cosmic Sister’s Psychedelic Feminism champions women’s empowerment and frontline voices, emphasizing our responsibility—as Earth’s apex predator—to rapidly evolve from a cultural perspective. We advocate for our natural right to journey with sacred plants (and fungi) as a way to jump-start rapid cultural evolution, starting with women.
