🌀 Sonic Forage Trip Manual

A public-safe, source-backed rave/altered-state field manual for preparation, care, grounding, consent, and afterglow integration.

This is the trip manual lane for Sonic-Forage: a gentle, PLUR-coded guide for people building safer culture around intense music, all-night events, altered states, spiritual/emotional openings, and post-event integration.

It is designed as a community care artifact, not a party manual and not medical/legal advice.

This repo does not provide:

• dosing guidance
• sourcing guidance
• medical advice
• legal advice
• crisis-worker certification
• field-operation instructions
• permission to run peer-support services without trained local review

If someone may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. For treatment/referral support in the U.S., SAMHSA lists 1-800-662-HELP (4357) as a free, confidential 24/7 service.
