CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS TOPIC

“Psychedelic Ceremonies: What to Expect”

Unearth the uncharted territories of the mind, engage in thought-provoking conversations, and connect with a community of kindred spirits. An evening of intellectual stimulation, introspection, and connection that lasts.

Prepare to have your perceptions expanded as we dive into the potential insights and transformations that psychedelics offer. Through personal anecdotes, scientific breakthroughs, and philosophical pondering, we’ll uncover new horizons and perspectives on the role of psychedelics in the realms of creativity, spirituality, mental health, and beyond.

Beyond the intellectual discourse, let’s celebrate the power of community and connection. Enjoy refreshments, connect with fellow attendees, and forge friendships that extend beyond the event. As the night unfolds, you’ll discover a tapestry of diverse minds united by a shared fascination with the mysteries of consciousness.

RECAP: Exploring “Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll” with Dr. Allie Melendez

At District216, we are committed to fostering education, conversation, and exploration around important topics, and our recent event featuring Dr. Allie Melendez was a perfect example. Last week, we had the pleasure of diving into the provocative theme of “Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll” with Dr. Allie Melendez (she/her), a Comprehensive Sexuality & Substance Educator and Intimacy Coordinator based in Los Angeles.

Our event was led by the insightful Hannah Jo, who expertly guided the conversation with Dr. Allie. As an educator and intimacy coordinator, Dr. Allie has dedicated her career to developing comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) curricula that are both inclusive and developmentally appropriate for K-12 students. Her doctoral dissertation, titled *“From ABC to STD,”* emphasizes the need for education that addresses the full spectrum of human sexuality from in-utero development to age 18.

NEXT WED., SEPT 18 – Douglas Finkelstein & Mychal Prieto’s “Slow the F*ck Down w/ Cannabis, Yoga, & Breathwork”

Topic: “Slow the F*ck Down w/ Cannabis, Yoga, & Breathwork”

Douglas: For years, I struggled to find a path of fulfillment. In 2016, while working as a stock trader and dealing with the debilitating side effects of a decade-long reliance on prescription medication, I stumbled upon an online support community that changed my life. Inspired by their stories, I abandoned the medication and embarked on a transformative journey of self-exploration through plant medicine.

Mychal: I am an ex-collegiate athlete with an education in Kinesiology & Exercise Science. Since 2011, I have been a Functional Strength coach and became a Certified Strong First Instructor in 2014. After completing my 200-hour Holistic Yoga Flow teacher training with Travis Eliot and Lauren Eckstrom, I began teaching yoga.
