About Zane
Zane Qarni is a dedicated psychedelic guide with five years of experience in psychedelic research, advocacy, and retreats. He graduated from the University of California, San Diego in September 2024 with a B.S. in Psychology, specializing in Clinical Psychology.
His journey into this field began with profound personal healing experiences, leading him to volunteering with Decriminalize Nature Virginia to push for initiatives that would increase access to psychedelics for medicinal and personal use. In his freshman year at UC San Diego, Zane founded the Psychedelic Club and served as President for the remainder of his undergrad degree. During college, he also interned at the Center for Psychedelic Research at UC San Diego, deepening his knowledge of psychedelic-assisted treatments — specifically psilocybin-assisted therapy for phantom limb pain.
Currently, Zane serves as the Executive Assistant to the CEO at Transcendelic Retreats, where he works retreats as a Peer Supporter, helping guide patients through their ketamine-assisted journeys with care and understanding. With over 100 journeys guided, he offers compassionate support for those exploring psychedelic experiences and integration, helping individuals navigate their transformative journeys with clarity and confidence.
Zane is committed to making a lasting impact in the psychedelic healing space, ensuring that others can access these powerful experiences safely and intentionally.
