EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NOV 2025

THE WHY

Awakening is a process of evolution that allows us to remember, or know, through direct experience, the nature of Reality and the nature of Being (God, Self, Other, Life, Purpose, Death, AfterLife). Entheogens are a powerful catalyst for this process of evolution, that some call spiritual awakening. It is knocking urgently on our collective door as we face increasing numbers of traumatized, mentally ill, addicted people in our society.

In an infinitely expanding or contracting universe, we as human beings can ascend or descend a ladder of consciousness that might look like a DNA ladder, with new healing and insights opening to us at every turn. Some people call this process spiritual awakening, others call it an Aha! moment, or a peak experience or Flow State. 

The business challenge and opportunity that Awake.net faces is to create a powerful online nexus for awakening consciousness. Our present systemic crises are fuel for that awakening.

Spiritual awakening and psychospiritual healing are intimately connected, and plant medicines like ibogaine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin are chemical messengers of transformation and transcendence that deliver such healing and awakening for trauma, ptsd, addiction, suicidal ideation, depression, finding meaning and purpose in life, accessing higher levels of creativity and cognitive enhancement. 

In addition to the psychospiritual healing, the root bark extract ibogaine, one of the most powerful psychedelic plant medicines on the planet can physiologically repair brain neurons and interrupt opioid and other hard addictions without withdrawals IN A SINGLE TREATMENT. This has been known since 1962 and yet ibogaine remains scheduled and we can only assume it’s because a one-dose cure upsets the $35 billion rehab industry for the “incurable” disease of addiction.

The birth of hospitals was originally connected to spirituality and charity, as evidenced by memes like “Sisters of Mercy,” but with the separation of church and state this relationship between spiritual awakening and healing dimmed. Hospitals have become temples of profit, and human disease not wellness is profitable, creating an inevitable structural corruption. 

Awake’s FEAT grant aims to raise funding for people to interrupt their addiction with ibogaine  be able to go through a nine month rebirth journey which has been created by mentors and masters to support individuals through preparing for, navigating, and integrating an ibogaine or other entheogenic treatment for addiction interruption, and subsequently an iboga or other entheogenic ceremony to celebrate the rebirth. FEAT will invoke the spirit and tradition of the ancient mystery schools while also offering a medically supervised rite of passage into adulthood thus once again uniting body-mind-spirit healing.

We will provide the means for healing and redemption of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—into a joyous, purpose-driven, member of society.

MISSION Awake’s non-profit mission in practical terms is to help end addiction and save lives by providing individual treatment grants through FEAT, the Fund for Entheogenic Addiction Treatment, the 10,000 Rebirths movement,  and a nine month journey called AWE: Awakening with Entheogens with access to coaches and guides, treatment centers, and integration guidance. All funds and membership dues raised through this platform are dedicated to the success of FEAT and 10,000 Rebirths.

VISION Awake.net is a 501c3 non-profit social impact network envisioned as a collaborative gathering place for the entheogenic community to share knowledge, narratives, best practices, research, and guidance for the entheogenic experience to help quicken a transformation in human consciousness and culture. 

PLATFORM The Awake platform is a hybrid of online co-working space and social network. All members have access to a free social feed and searchable profile listing in the Directory. Paying members can create crowdfunding campaigns, websites, groups and subgroups, integration circles, art galleries, playlists, ceremony rooms, appointment calendars, schedule events, publish blogs, and sell products or services.
