RECAP: “The Time to Act: Reflections on the Inauguration Integration Expert Panel”
|
|
The panel featured powerhouse speakers who illuminated the complexities of these policies and their implications for our communities and the global stage:
• Ismail Ali, J.D. (MAPS): Advocating for equitable access to psychedelics ?
• Maritza Perez Medina (Drug Policy Alliance): Fighting for systemic reform ?
• Jason Ortiz (Last Prisoner Project): Championing justice for those criminalized by the War on Drugs ??
• Moderated by Annie Oak Harrison (Lucid News): A fierce voice for truth and accountability ?
Annie set the tone early, painting a stark picture of the administration’s authoritarian moves and oligarchic policies, even in its first week. Her words weren’t just a call to awareness—they were a call to action. |

RECAP: “The Cosmic Connection: How Journey?M Vets Psychedelic Guides”
|
|
But what does the vetting process look like, and how do they ensure these cosmic matches between seekers and guides? Nico and Susan sat down with District216 to share insights from their journey, including a heartwarming example of how their efforts led to an extraordinary alignment between a seeker and guide.
The Art of Vetting a Psychedelic Guide
As former lifestyle concierges with years of experience in high-touch service (including helping launch the American Express Platinum Concierge program), Nico and Susan bring a unique approach to vetting psychedelic guides. Their process involves:
1. In-Person Meetings: By traveling the country in their RV, they’ve been able to meet guides face-to-face, gaining a sense of their energy, experience, and philosophy.
2. Holistic Evaluation: They look beyond credentials to assess each guide’s ability to create a safe and compassionate space for seekers.
3. Safety Standards: Harm reduction is a top priority. Guides must demonstrate their commitment to ethical practices and their ability to handle challenging situations with care and expertise.
4. Alignment: Nico and Susan work to understand the seeker’s unique needs—cultural background, personality, and goals—and match them with guides who resonate on a deeper level. |

WED., FEB 5 – “Mixing up the Medicine: Art + Science of Ketamine-Assisted-Therapy and Getting the Most from the Process”
|
|
Topic: “Mixing up the Medicine: Art + Science of Ketamine-Assisted-Therapy and Getting the Most from the Process”
Description: Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP) offers a unique experience insofar as it combines the psycho-biological effects of medicine on our mind-body system within a psychotherapy process. But is psychotherapy an art or a science? This time-tested question has not yet been answered as research studies largely conclude that while any number of therapy approaches and techniques are effective, positive outcome resides at its heart, within the therapeutic alliance.
If so, how do we know what to look for when seeking a professional facilitator? Moreover, once we enter therapy, how can we trust the process with its promise of positive outcomes?
When: Wednesday, February 5, 2025 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.
