This month’s theme: MDM-May! (…get it?) 💊🫠
Next Thursday’s “California Sober” at @hekatenyc is dedicated to one of the most beloved and fascinating substances in psychedelic culture.
Join us in the LES 7-9pm for an open, low-pressure space for anyone looking to find people to talk to about this wonderful substance at a couple hours of unstructured hangout time!
Whether you’ve rolled dozens of times or are simply curious. Whether you’re interested in its therapeutic potential, rave history, or neuroscience. Whether you’ve had profound healing experiences on a dance floor OR in a therapists office. All are welcome! Tix in our bio.
FRIDAY in Manhattan: Join Benjamin De Loenen of ICEERS and Claude Guislain of Instituto Nixiwaka for a fireside conversation on the World Ayahuasca Forurm.
Stepping into a New Time of Alliance with Ancestral Knowledge Holders
This time of deep crisis requires people who don’t just talk about a different world but act to build one. When was the last time people from around the world, carrying this deep commitment, stepped into a real dialogue space organized by Indigenous ancestral knowledge holders, around the co-creation of a new path forward for humanity? A path of respectful partnership between the best of our worlds, ancestral and contemporary, working together for a common good. A space for weaving human connection and dream together.
This is what is being called into being in Girona, Northern Spain, September 9–13, during the World Ayahuasca Forum. This is not an event. It is the ground for alliance building, for organizing as a movement.
The mandate is clear: bring together ancestral knowledge holders from 30 Indigenous nations with people from around the world who carry a deep commitment to building a world in balance - from the fields of systems change, regeneration, philanthropy, healing, science, policy, psychedelic medicine, and community building. The spiritual leaders are requesting us all to join forces.This dialogue session will open a window into this living process and how we can all step into a New Time of Alliance.
TIX in Bio!

Why do SO many young people look petrified on dance floors these days? 🤔
Come on Gen Z, we KNOW you have the moves! We’ve seen the mind-blowing choreography all over TikTok. Please have the courage to bring some of that magic into the real world too? 🙏
Who cares if it’s not perfect? 🫠�Who cares if someone films you looking silly?🤳
The dance floor is ancient. Primal. Communal.
A place to feel embodied and empowered. A place to be present and alive. A place to connect with strangers. An opportunity to heal. 🍄
Millennials have been accused of killing a lot of things over the years… don’t let Gen Z be the death of dance floors. 💃🕺🪩
If this resonates, send it to your Gen Z friend who has the moves, but maybe needs a little encouragement to get down in public.

THE BOOK OF CHANGES ☯️🪙🌊
One thing about the nature of reality is that EVERYTHING changes. Painful? Freeing? Probably a lil bit of both 🫠
LIMINAL is the space in between —> who am I? who was I? who am I becoming? what do I do?! 🤪 The I Ching is a guide for that territory that humans have been using for over 3,000 years 📜
Thank you for the magic @chromadetic and @psychedelic_assembly brought into the room 😍
The I Ching is highly mathematical and Jonathan’s teaching was accessible and illuminating 👏 He was a high school teacher for many years :) and it was so sweet having @psychedelic_assembly fam in the house!
From the beginning, the vision for this studio has been to be a place where we can learn and practice tools that help us understand ourselves more and what it means to be alive in a body on this planet. We do a lot of that through movement 🤸♀️ But last night we got the pencils out 🤓 And I loved it!
There’s something so satisfying about gathering in a room with paper and real books, casting coins by hand… letting YOUR subconscious speak- without the algorithm (sorry to all the bots out there)
This is the first of many. Drop a ☯️ below if you’d want to practice the I Ching in community on a regular basis :) I know I do 🙂↕️
We still have some tickets available for tonight’s workshop on the I Ching: Book of Changes, in Greenpoint Brooklyn! 📖☯️🐢🪙䷬ Grab tix at the link in our bio and come find out how to use this incredible tool yourself (and maybe why @real.terence.mckenna was so obsessed with it 🍄😜!) With @chromadetic of @telepathy.nyc at @liminalyoga.nyc
Sometimes when one door closes, the universe opens.
A year ago today we publicly announced that the Athenaeum - our psychedelic library and community center was shutting down. It was hard to lose our physical space (and we hope to find a new home when the pieces align.)
But for now we’re having a LOT of fun spreading psychedelia all around NYC in new and creative ways.🗽🍄
