FOCUS: FRONTIERS OF THE MIND
“To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours, the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended directly and unconditionally by [the Universe]—this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone....”
- Aldous Huxley, English writer and philosopher, 1894-1963 AD
(From The Doors of Perception)

Frontiers of the Mind – Exploring the extraordinary potential of human consciousness, psychedelics, plant medicines, and pioneering medical technologies to unlock pathways to healthier minds and lives.

Consciousness is the final frontier.
Throughout history, the exploration of consciousness has taken many forms—from meditation, breathwork, and ancient rituals to carefully guided experiences with sacred plants and fungi. Indigenous wisdom-keepers, shamans, and healers around the world have long understood the profound therapeutic and spiritual potential hidden within these traditions, carefully safeguarding the knowledge needed to unlock healthier minds and lives.
Today, pioneering practitioners, scientists, and medical innovators are rediscovering and validating these ancient insights through rigorous research and therapeutic practices. At Explorer At Large, we believe deeply in honoring and preserving these diverse cultural traditions and wisdom lineages—from jungles and deserts to mountain communities—learning firsthand from the elders and practitioners who hold this knowledge.
Our storytelling approach will explore the power of these traditional practices, as well as groundbreaking medical technologies and other non-psychedelic modalities, in transforming mental health and human well-being. Rather than promoting any single method, we seek to illuminate multiple pathways to healthier, more conscious lives, emphasizing careful respect for each culture’s traditions and sensitivities.
Through this holistic exploration, Explorer At Large aims to foster greater awareness, deeper understanding, and renewed appreciation for humanity’s most extraordinary frontier—the infinite possibilities within our own minds.
