Behind BIEN
Alice and I became friends while still living in Tokyo. I was working as a biochemist engineer, and Alice was a fashion buyer in the luxury industry.
We both faced challenging moments in our mental health journeys. In search of relief, the only solution offered to us involved heavily addictive medications, which merely masked the symptoms rather than addressing the root causes. What changed everything was when I first discovered psilocybin. It felt like an accelerated therapy in a single afternoon.
Our personal experiences have convinced us that introducing mushrooms into people’s lives can pave the way for a post-anxiety generation.
At BIEN, we are dedicated to reshaping the mental health landscape and envisioning a future where humanity is more aligned, compassionate, and ultimately happier.
