Sacred Plant Ceremony
Preparedness Assessment

This 20-question assessment is based on the validated Psychedelic Preparedness Scale (PPS), developed by researchers at University College London.

It measures four dimensions of readiness — knowledge, intention, psychophysical readiness, and support — to help you understand where you are as you approach your ceremony.
