What is Altered States Alliance?

Why I made A.S.A

There wasn’t one big moment. No lightning bolt from the sky. Just a quiet feeling that kept growing louder: “Why is it so hard to find a place where people actually grow together?”

That question sat with me for a long time.

I wanted to communicate with people who were working to live more peaceful, fulfilling lives. Not in a fake, polished Instagram kind of way, but in a real, messy, supportive, honest way. A group of people who could teach and learn from each other. Who could build trust. Who could evolve together.

And when I couldn’t find that community… I decided to build it.

The Problem No One Talks About

Most people who are waking up, or starting to, don’t know where to turn. They try psychedelics and get cracked open, but don’t know how to integrate. They hear about breathwork, mediation or shadow work, but don’t know what’s real and what’s just bullshit.

That was me, too.

I needed clarity. I needed people who got it.

The Tools That Changed Me

Psychedelics helped me face parts of myself I was hiding from. Meditation helped me explore the darker corners of my mind with compassion. Breathwork gave me a way to regulate, cope, and stay grounded in everyday life.

But it wasn’t the tools alone that made the difference. What I really needed, and what most of us need is a community.

One that sees all of you. One that doesn’t tell you how to live but walks with you as you figure it out.

What We’re Building (And Why It Matters)

We’re creating a space where:

• Every voice matters

• Every path is valid

• And no one is alone in their search for a healthier more fulfilling life

This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s not about chasing perfection or being told how to live. It’s about building a life that’s actually yours, with the support of people who want to see you win.

Here’s the vision:

• A tight-knit community where people share tools, support, and stories

• A place where science and spirituality are both welcome

• A network of people who stay connected across the world, lifting each other up no matter where life takes them

  
  

Who This Is For

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit into the typical self-help scene…

If you believe in something greater but also love evidence and real knowledge…

If you’re curious, kind, a little skeptical, but ready to grow…

Then this was made for you.

What Makes This Different

You’re not going to be preached at. You’re not going to be told to “grind harder”. This is a place where we sit with the hard stuff. Celebrate the wins. And help each other keep going, even when we fall off track.

We don’t pretend healing is linear. We question bad advice that gets passed around with no foundation behind it. And we believe in progress, not perfection.

I’ll be the first to admit: I still mess up. I know what I should do sometimes and still slip back into old habits. But that’s what this community is here for, to catch each other when we fall and remind each other who we are.
