ABOUT THE REFLECTION CIRCLE
? A D216 OFFERING
District216 is proud to host this confidential Reflection Circle for members and guests seeking thoughtful integration of psychedelic experiences. Together, we gather around stories, insights, challenges, hopes, and questions—creating space to process non-ordinary states of consciousness with care, presence, and community support. Guided by a licensed professional facilitator, participants are invited to reflect, listen, and share (as feels right) in a supportive, non-judgmental environment designed to help translate experiences into grounded, purposeful living.
? WHY INTEGRATION MATTERS
Psychedelic integration is a vital part of an effective and meaningful healing journey. This circle offers a safe, facilitated container for exploring experiences related to psychedelic medicines while emphasizing:
- Peer and community support
- Education and risk-reduction practices
- Somatic awareness and emotional processing
- Bringing insights into everyday life—personally, professionally, and relationally
All backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome. The goal is not interpretation or advice, but connection, reflection, and integration.

RECAP: “Lindsay Kent on The Powers of Narrative: A Night That Reminded Us Why Stories Matter”
|
|
|
Lindsay Kent, known to many of you as The Hallucinarrator, joined us for “The Powers of Narrative: Stories and The Psychedelic Renaissance,” and she delivered an outstanding presentation that wove together clips from her documentary film, slides outlining her theories, and a clear-eyed look at why the stories we tell about psychedelics may matter just as much as the science behind them.
Lindsay’s central thread was simple but profound; humans don’t change their minds through data alone, we change through story. As the psychedelic renaissance expands into medicine, media, wellness, policy, and pop culture, the narratives surfacing around it are quietly shaping what people fear, what they romanticize, what gets commercialized, and what actually gets integrated.
Drawing from her decade of work, including her 2014 documentary Going Furthur and her docuseries Plant Medicine, Lindsay showed how fiction, comedy, and film can communicate inner experience without ever preaching. That distinction landed hard with the room. There’s a real difference between telling someone what a psychedelic experience means and letting them feel their way into understanding it through story.

WED., JULY 8 – “Plant Medicine, Music, and Vibrational Essence of Creation” with Shine Rilling
|
|
|
Topic: “Plant Medicine, Music, and Vibrational Essence of Creation”
Description: Shine Rilling, founder of World Peace Tribe and Shining Lion Music, explores the ancient relationship between sound, chanting, and expanded states of consciousness through the lens of plant medicine traditions from around the world. Drawing from years of ceremony and collaboration with indigenous lineages, Shine examines why nearly every ceremonial tradition uses song as a pathway to the divine, and how master plants so often awaken the human impulse to sing. In this immersive talk and musical experience, he’ll share original songs that emerged through plant medicine journeys, tracing how these experiences opened the “gates of sound” and transformed his relationship to music as a living, healing force. Participants will be invited into a shared moment of chanting and singing together, bringing awareness to the shifts that unfold within the body, mind, and collective field through sound and vibration.
When: Wednesday, July 8, 2026 from 5pm to 9pm (Speaker at 6:30pm)
Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
(Please only park across the street on the Office Max side of the lot.)
Members are Free to attend The District House evenings, and are prioritized when we reach capacity.
Guests Welcome to purchase $25 tickets to The District House evenings.
Note: We will be filming the speaker for the District216 Change Your Lens Series. Refreshments provided.
