Psychedelic Studio

Upcoming Psychedelic Studio: Wednesday, November 13th 6-8pm.

These are monthly gatherings for intellectual exchange, learning and discourse around consciousness change and culture. This month will feature Portland Community Dance DJ Kellie Ryan and Riverbird psychedelic therapist, Selma Holden discussing what goes in behind the scenes of playlist creation for transformative spaces. All are welcome to join.

Each month we feature a different topic around expanded states of consciousness. We would love to hear from you- what themes or topics interest you? Do you have suggestions for local speakers? And/or are you interested in being part of a panel discussion on a particular topic? Send us your ideas by leaving your suggestions in the comment section below.
