Fireside Project was born at a unique moment in history. It was the spring of 2020. The pandemic was raging. Depression, anxiety, and loneliness were at all-time highs. Calls to some hotlines were up one-thousand percent. Against this backdrop, psychedelics were emerging from the shadows after a decades-long prohibition. 

Wesley is a psychedelic writer, visionary artist, and permaculture designer with over 12 years of psychedelic harm reduction and integration coaching experience. Wesley has apprenticed with indigenous elders, exhibited his artwork alongside the world’s leading visionary artists, and interviewed many of the leading figures in the psychedelic Renaissance. 

He believes that when used properly, psychedelics can be a key leverage point in changing the consciousness of the Western world from a paradigm of materialism, distraction, and separation to a more interconnected, meaningful, and collaborative one.
