Logo for Psychedelic/Entheogenic Research Education and Integration non-profit organization

ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education)

Exploring Entheogenic Potentials

Yes

Hello,

We are looking for a new logo as we transition from a graduate student group at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), a transpersonal psychology school in San Francisco, into a non-profit organization.

We are interested in sacred plant and fungus psychoactive compounds also referred to as psychedelics or entheogens. A bevy of new research from mainstream institutions are being published now and many laypeople are accessing these substances with little to no information on the topic, or community support system after their experience (called integration). We are providing those education and integration services.

There are a few other orgs that are exploring psychedelic research but unlike us they are more on the biomedical and/or pharmaceutical side of the spectrum (www.maps.org, www.heffter.org or http://www.beckleyfoundation.org). We want to avoid this feeling in the logo and stay true to the grass roots of the industry while allowing for growth into new audience markets.

We would like to have options of the logo by itself, the logo with the name ERIE, and the logo with the full name ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education) if possible… We know the name of our org is long so we are open to the best option. On the business card we would like the full name ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education) to appear.

Words to consider when thinking of the logo:

Entheogenic (seeking the divine within)
plants and fungus,
ecodelic/ecologically conscious
wisdom,
Scholarly yet accessible,
stable,
grounded,
circular? contained
sacred geometry
community,
network,
integration,
health and well-being,
tree of life, roots
mythology and cosmology,
intelligent,
respectful of shamanic/indigenous cultures,
ayahuasca,
mushrooms,
DMT,
Iboga,
5meodmt,
alchemy,
consciousness,
mystical,
transformative,
unitive
compassion
hands forming into plants or fungus? this is an idea that has been offered by one of our members...

does not need to have all the plants and fungus represented but if one or two are in logo (ayahuasca and mushrooms the primary interest) that would be great
