EntheoBliss

We envision a world where entheogens are safely and legally available for beneficial uses, and where research is governed by a rigorous scientific evaluation of their risks and benefits.

As a result of the 2020 Armenian-Azerbaijani war around 100,000 Armenians were displaced, 4088 killed, 11,000 wounded, and sick.

In accordance with our unofficial estimates, 20000-25000 veterans and civilians struggle from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of this war.

PTSD is a common and debilitating condition with immeasurable social and economic costs that affects the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world annually.

After decades of criminalization, entheogenic drugs, including 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), are on the brink of reappearing as a potential pharmacological treatment for mental health disorders and addiction.

Ongoing US FDA approved Phase 3 clinical trial demonstrated that 67% of participants who received three MDMA-assisted therapy sessions for severe PTSD no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis at the end of the study. In addition, close to 90% of participants reported a significant reduction in symptoms. US FDA approval may come as early as 2023.

To bring these cutting-edge entheogen-assisted healing modalities to the Armenian people EntheoBliss Healthcare Foundation, a nonprofit organization was established.

It’s a combination of two words. Entheo (shorten from entheogen) and bliss.
Bliss means perfect happiness, great joy.

The name EntheoBliss means achieving bliss through entheogen-assisted healing modalities.

Entheogen is a chemical substance, typically of plant origin, that is ingested to produce a holotropic (non-ordinary, altered) state of consciousness for, medical, social, psychological, and spiritual purposes.

Our Values

We thrive to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, we place ourselves in another's position.

We understand what others are going through, we empathize with them, and we show them that we love and care for them. Compassion involves a consideration of other people's values, beliefs, needs and wants in terms of which their suffering can be understood and hence be shared.

Information is shared openly and clearly. Communications are respectful, honest, and forthright.
