Psychedelics: Preparation to Integration


Presented by Orbit


NeueHouse

110 East 25th Street, NYC

Like many paths for personal growth and healing, psychedelics can be a powerful tool for Awakening. But how do you stay Awake? How do you maintain a shift in consciousness and build on an aha-moment? Integration is core to any process of transformation. It’s in the in-between where rewiring old patterns takes shape and new ways of being take flight, and requires a mindset and lifestyle supported by 1:1 guidance, daily practices, and community. Join us for a fun conversation with industry leaders who will steer you on your journey – from preparation to integration – and empower you with knowledge and tools to be set up for success. Panel lineup: Dr. Julie Holland; Jonathan Sabbagh, Co-Founder of Journey Clinical; Rebecca Kronman, LCSW; Viv Rosenthal, Co-Founder of Frequency Breathwork.

Prepare for the upcoming Horizons conference with the Brooklyn psychedelic community

Learn about the history, traditions, and contemporary uses of rapé

Explore a new relationship with tobacco

Come away with your own rapé and kuripe (pipe for self-administration)

Support Chacruna’s mission of decolonization and cultural exchange in the psychedelic space
