This November, we gather in community to honor the grief and gratitude of being human, making space for it all. Through a low dose of psilocybin, live music, shared song, inward reflection, and collective presence, we’ll create a ceremonial space where grief doesn’t need to be fixed and gratitude doesn’t need to be forced. There is simply an invitation to feel, listen, and witness, all while being held in community.

What to Expect

This evening is an invitation to make space for the full range of what it means to be human. We’ll sit in ceremony, weaving together a low dose of psilocybin, live music, and song.

We’ll begin by landing together, taking time to connect with one another and establish our shared intentions and agreements for the evening. From there, we’ll offer a low dose of psilocybin and settle into a period of quiet inward reflection, allowing each person to connect with their own experience.

When the time feels right, we’ll come together through song. Guided by live music, we’ll move through an arc that honors grief and loss while opening toward gratitude and love. There is no expectation of where the journey should take you and no right way to experience it. There is room for all of it.

As the ceremony comes to a close, we’ll transition out of the inward journey and back into community. Here we’ll share a simple meal of soup and bread, followed by time to be together.

No musical experience is necessary. You don’t need to be a singer, and there is no pressure to participate in any particular way. Our voices are simply a shared offering, a prayer, and a way of allowing what lives within us to be felt and expressed.
