Reconnect Foundation is a Swiss charitable organization that operates from Switzerland and supports work at the intersection of consciousness research, healthcare accessibility, and ecosystem conservation. Its public materials describe an emphasis on open science, support for academic research, and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and local communities. It also says the foundation was established by the founders of Reconnect Labs, a Swiss biotech company based at the University of Zurich. In psychedelic-adjacent work, Reconnect Foundation says it supports consciousness research using psychedelics and other consciousness-altering methods, along with mindfulness and ethnobotanical research into ancestral practices. It also runs a benefit-sharing and ecosystem restoration effort focused on Indigenous rights, biocultural conservation, and consultation with Indigenous leaders and partner NGOs in the Amazon region. Documented collaborators named on its site include the Indigenous Medicine Conservation Fund, ICEERS, and El Puente.
