Self-Guided Consciousness-Expanding Apps

The Trip App Takes You on a Visual Psychedelic Stroll

— May 5, 2021 — Tech
The Trip app launched in late 2020 by "self-proclaimed metaphysical outlaw" Ronan Levy and Kori Harrison. The platform draws on the growing popularity of meditation and self-awareness apps but adds its own twist into the mix, given consumers a whole new way to achieve self-discovery.

The Trip app can be used for a variety of experiences, including meditation, breathwork, mood tracking, intention setting, personalized music, and guided journaling. In addition, the visual experience is also backed by research in modern neuroscience and psychology, enabling users to get the most out of their consciousness-expanding experiences. In order to achieve this informed backing for the experience, the founders of the Trip app consulted numerous sources, including medical doctors, psychologists, guides, "experienced and new trippers," as well as insights from various leading organizations.
