| WHY INTEGRATION
Psychedelic Integration is an important component of an effective and powerful healing journey which can transform your experience into lasting change. The purpose of this Psychedelic Integration Circle is to provide a safe space for community members to talk about non-ordinary states of consciousness and gain peer support, educational information, and risk prevention strategies for engaging with psychedelic medicines. Here, journeyers of all backgrounds will have the opportunity to connect with one another and build upon and integrate medicine experiences into their everyday lives in the interest of personal, professional, and communal well-being. The Integration will be facilitated by a licensed, trained professional to optimize the power of peer and community support for individual growth and transformation.

RECAP – “The Art of Receiving: A Transformative Evening with Jennifer Love”
|
|
| One of the most powerful moments of the evening was hearing Jennifer share her personal journey of resilience. After suffering a crushed spine, she was given only a 10% chance of ever walking again. Doctors told her it would take months of recovery, but Jennifer had a different vision. She set her intention to walk out of the hospital in just 14 days—and through determination, visualization, and deep inner healing, she did exactly that. Today, she walks freely, no longer needing the titanium rods that once supported her back. Her story is a testament to the limitless potential of the human spirit.
Jennifer guided the audience through interactive exercises designed to break through subconscious blocks that often keep us from fully receiving. She explained that many of us are conditioned to be givers, yet we struggle when it comes to accepting help, opportunities, or even financial abundance. By shifting our perspective and embracing openness, we can unlock an entirely new way of moving through life—one filled with ease, flow, and deep fulfillment. |

RECAP – “Becoming the Bridge: A Night of ‘Sexual Healing & Psychedelics’ for 8th District216 Marquee Event”
|
|
| For the 8th Marquee Event in just over two years District216 became a portal—a space where walls dissolved, pathways formed, and a new conversation emerged. Sexual healing, psychedelics, and the power of human connection took center stage as we explored how these transformative tools can help us bridge the gaps—within ourselves, in our relationships, and in society at large.
With a lineup of inspiring speakers, immersive experiences, and electrifying performances, the night wove together education, embodiment, and community in a way that left everyone deeply moved. Here’s a look at what unfolded. |

He helped create Duke University Hospital’s Stress Management Consult Team in 1989; continuing till 2018.
