The ground in your garden has softened
Mina is here to help you tend to it.
The ecosystem for psychedelic aftercare
Participant-supported · Practitioner-connected · Governed for the field
Meet MinaTwo names. One threshold.
Limina - the platform
From "limen" - the Latin word for threshold. A liminal space is the in-between: after something significant has happened, before you fully know what it means. That is exactly where integration lives.
Mina - who meets you there
The intimate name. Limina is the platform. Mina is who meets you there. She is available at 2am when nothing else is. Free, anonymous, and present.
A free, anonymous space to process what's present
No login. No email. No identifying data. Just a conversation, at your pace.
Mina
What would you like Mina to call you? Use any name - just not your real one. Or choose one below.
This is a scripted demo. The full Mina will feature adaptive conversation and session continuity.
One ecosystem. Many stakeholders.
Support for the period after a significant experience.
Profound experiences - in clinical settings, retreat contexts, or otherwise - often leave people in an uncertain in-between. Something has shifted. The meaning isn't fully clear yet. And the support available rarely matches the depth of what happened.
Mina offers a free, anonymous space to process what's present - without judgment, diagnosis, or agenda. She moves at your pace, asks one question at a time, and holds what you share with care.
- Completely free, always
- Anonymous - no login, no email, no identifying data
- Available any time, including outside of business hours
- Not a replacement for therapy - a companion for the in-between
- If something feels urgent, Mina will point you toward appropriate human support
What happens between your sessions.
Integration doesn't follow a schedule. The most significant processing often happens in the days and weeks after a session - when clients are navigating daily life without direct support.
Mina provides structured, anonymous support between sessions. Aggregated and anonymized data from participant conversations builds a real-world evidence base that informs what good integration care actually looks like.
- A free tool you can recommend to any client regardless of ability to pay
- Clinics and retreat centers can access anonymized outcome data through Limina Clinic
- Benchmark your program outcomes against field-wide aggregated data
- Participant-reported data informs future practitioner standards
- Designed with practitioners, not imposed on them
A dataset the field doesn't yet have.
Clinical trials tell us what happens under controlled conditions. They tell us very little about what happens when people return to their lives - what integrates, what persists, what causes harm, and what doesn't.
Limina is building the first large-scale, longitudinal, self-reported integration dataset across substances, settings, and populations. Anonymized by design. Governed by an independent foundation.
- Cross-substance, cross-setting, cross-cultural data
- Longitudinal - tracking change over months and years, not just sessions
- Participant-reported rather than clinician-observed
- Privacy architecture reviewed by civil liberties counsel
- Foundation governance prevents data capture by commercial entities
The field is scaling. The ethics infrastructure isn't.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are flowing into psychedelic medicine. Training programs are proliferating. Clinics and retreat centers are opening faster than anyone can evaluate. And there is still no shared standard for what good integration care looks like.
Limina is that infrastructure. A free public tool for participants. A longitudinal evidence base for the field. Governed by a permanent, independent foundation that cannot be acquired or captured by commercial interests.
- Seed investment: $300K-$500K for Mina build, practitioner network, and 18-month runway
- Fills a structural gap no commercial entity is positioned to fill ethically
- Foundation structure ensures perpetual independence from commercial pressure
- Founded by a clinician with 8 years of direct practice - not a technology company
- Commercial entity (Limina PBC) generates returns - Foundation remains independent
Trust infrastructure for an emerging field.
Every emerging field eventually requires shared infrastructure - standards, data commons, and governance mechanisms that allow it to scale without losing coherence or ethical grounding. Psychedelic medicine is at that inflection point now.
Threshold's two-entity structure - a permanent nonprofit Foundation and a mission-aligned Public Benefit Corporation - is designed to solve the capture problem: commercial pressure displacing the ethics function.
- Foundation-first sequencing: ethics governance before commercial scale
- Data architecture: participant privacy protected at the infrastructure level
- Governance model: Foundation board structure prevents mission drift over time
- Open standard: practitioner certification informed by real-world integration outcomes
- Designed to outlast any single founder, funder, or political moment
A governance role with real stakes.
The Threshold Ethics Foundation needs board members who understand both the opportunity and the complexity - clinicians, ethicists, legal scholars, patient advocates, researchers, and community leaders with the range to hold the mission steady.
This is not a ceremonial board. The Foundation's function is to govern the ethical architecture of Limina's data collection and, over time, to set the standards that shape how psychedelic care is practiced at scale.
- Permanent fiduciary responsibility for the standard and data governance framework
- Structural independence from the PBC - no commercial conflicts of interest
- Opportunity to shape an emerging field before its norms calcify
- Seeking: clinical expertise, legal and ethics, research, patient advocacy, community
- Founding board members shape the governance model itself
Three areas of focus. One continuous conversation.
The experience itself
What happened, as the person remembers it. What was most present, most surprising, most difficult. Received without interpretation, at whatever pace feels right.
What has shifted since
Changes in daily life, relationships, perception, and sense of self. What has become clearer. What has loosened. What feels different, even if it's hard to name.
What remains unresolved
Persistent images, feelings without clear language, material that keeps returning. The parts of the experience that haven't yet found their place. Mina's most careful work.
When conversation becomes connection
Mina reads depth of conversation and, when the moment is right, offers to connect you with a practitioner who specializes in exactly the kind of material you're carrying.
"I work at the intersection of somatic experience and meaning-making."
"Integration is where the real work begins - I help build the bridge."
"Whatever opened, I help you tend it with care and intention."
This is not a privacy policy. It is an architecture.
Mina holds participant data anonymously - not pseudonymously. The platform does not know who participants are. There is no honeypot of identifiable mental health data to breach.
- Zero-knowledge design: no personally identifiable information collected at ingestion
- Anonymization at the conversation layer, not after the fact
- Participants authorize any data sharing directly
- For participants: genuine safety - not a policy
- For practitioners: informed referrals without identity exposure
- For regulators: zero liability profile
Limina is governed by the Threshold Ethics Foundation - an independent nonprofit dedicated to ethical data governance and participant-centered standards in psychedelic care. Every conversation with Mina is anonymous. Every session contributes, in aggregate, to a growing understanding of what these experiences ask of people - and what they make possible.
