RECAP: Self Introspection + Healing on Large Canvas: A Psychedelic Saturday with Bryan Siever

Led by the incredible Bryan Siever of Foot Fourword, who specializes in facilitating workshops for individuals and small groups, this immersive experience invited us to explore our inner worlds and bring them vividly to life on canvas.

The July sun bathed the parking lot of LoDo Studios in bright light as we gathered to co-create. Easels stood ready, bright paints were laid out, and the group buzzed with anticipation after Bryan’s breath-work and mantra creation process set up our expectations. It was a perfect day to dive into self-exploration under the open sky.

RECAP: From Panels to Playhouse: Recapping Psychedelic Science 2025

Written By: Kyle Rosner

MAPS Psychedelic Science 2025 wasn’t just a conference. It brought together researchers, therapists, artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday seekers to imagine a more conscious future.

But for me, the most meaningful moments happened just outside the convention center. That’s why we (District216 & Studiodelic) created the Psychedelic Playhouse—an off-campus experiment in connection, creativity, and honest community. From high-stakes startup pitches to late-night dancefloor release, it was a glimpse of where psychedelic gatherings can truly go.

This is my reflection on the week. What worked, what moved me, and what’s next.
