HYSTELICA

HYSTELICA is a women-focused psychedelic research and education organization based in London, United Kingdom, with activity that appears to extend beyond the UK through its online content and academic collaborations. Its public-facing materials describe it as a non-profit, while UK company records identify HYSTELICA LTD as an active private limited company incorporated in 2022 with a London registered office. The organization says it serves women, people assigned female at birth, practitioners, researchers, and psychonauts seeking sex- and gender-aware psychedelic information.

Its role in the field is centered on female biology, women’s mental health, and safer psychedelic use, with particular attention to menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, infertility, contraception, and other sex-specific considerations. Documented current projects include two recruiting studies run with King’s College London, on microdosing and menopausal symptoms and on female psychedelic use, plus a published paper on females in psychedelic research. It also offers educational programming and webinars, and has run a women’s retreat collaboration, which suggests potential partnership opportunities for researchers, clinicians, funders, policy groups, and patient communities interested in women-specific evidence, education, and harm-reduction-oriented access.
