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

This past Saturday, we hosted something truly special at The District House — a sun-soaked afternoon that blended art, breath, community, and self-discovery in ways only District216 can.

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.

Podcast Spotlight: Jacob Tell on TrueLife — “A Digital Dionysus in the Age of Illusion”

In a world saturated with soundbites and spiritual bypassing, the TrueLife Podcast is a howl from the underground — a battlefield of ideas where conformity dies and consciousness is forged in fire. And on May 20, 2025, our Chief Dreamer Jacob Tell stepped into the fire with host George for an episode that’s part ritual, part rebellion, and fully unforgettable.

? Episode Title: Jacob Tell – Digital Dionysus Drenched in Roses

? Hosted by: George, creator of TrueLife

? Platform: TrueLife Podcast

“If Terence McKenna, Steve Jobs, and the DMT elves held a hackathon in a Redwood Grove during a solar eclipse… the blueprint would look a lot like what Jacob’s building.” – George
