RECAP: “Workshop Night: Embracing the Sacred Divine Feminine with Dr. Kathy Gruver”

This week at The District House, our community gathered for a powerful evening with Dr. Kathy Gruver, who guided us through an immersive Sacred Divine Feminine Workshop. The night was a celebration of connection, reflection, and awakening — a space where participants felt safe to explore the wisdom and strength of the divine feminine within.

From the very first moment, the energy in the room was vibrant and open. Dr. Gruver invited us into practices that were not only deeply reflective but also highly interactive, encouraging everyone to share, participate, and connect. Laughter, thoughtful conversation, and heartfelt exchanges flowed throughout the evening, creating a circle of trust and empowerment.

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.
