Psychedelic Professionals Meet, Hosted by The Nowak Society

 
 
 

Psychedelic Professionals Social Hour is now happening monthly in Fort Collins! Join us on the second Monday of each month, 6pm, at Pour Brothers Community Tavern in Old Town. This is a casual, friendly space where we can network and meet other like-minded practitioners and activists in the psychedelic space. Come for appetizers, drinks, and socializing. We have no formal presentations planned for our Social Hour events. Just conversations, hugs, and connecting in community.

Please also be aware of our Community Guidelines for Nowak Society events. To protect the community, we ask that no one try to solicit illegal substances or services from anyone attending the event. Be kind, be respectful, and keep it legal.

We can't WAIT to see you there, Fort Collins!

 
 
 

Join us for a special community workshop series aimed to empower communities in safe and optimal personal use of natural medicines. Proposition 122 in Colorado decriminalized the personal use of psilocybin-containing mushrooms and other natural medicines, including growing for personal use, sharing, gifting, possessing, ingesting, and engaging supportive services around someone's personal use. As an educational non-profit, The Nowak Society believes in open-source and community-sourced education, meaning that we strive to make knowledge and skill-building accessible to all and held by community.

In service to this mission, we are honored to welcome a series of expert guests donating their time by offering deeply discounted workshops to the broader community of non-clinicians and non-psychedelic-experts. Each workshop is intended to unlock essential knowledge and skills from the professional domain to lay people seeking to optimize their personal use of natural medicines in safe and maximally beneficial ways.

You are invited to "pay what you can" to join each workshop. Attend one workshop or join us at all of them! Your generous support is appreciated and all proceeds are shared between The Nowak Society 501c3 and allied non-profit causes specified in each workshop description.

Note that some of these workshops are typically offered at $125+ by the professionals and clinical scientists leading them. We've set our "pay what you can" tickets to a minimum of $20 in order to make the knowledge and skills being offered accessible to as many people as possible. If you have the financial means available to you, we suggest setting your ticket price to $25-$75 per ticket, with full price up to $125. It's entirely up to you to "pay what you can" and please know that we appreciate your support at whatever level is available to you.
Space for each workshop is limited, so please purchase a ticket in advance. Each workshop is ticketed separately, so you must purchase a ticket for each workshop you want to attend (on this event registration page, click "select a different date" to purchase a ticket for a particular workshop). All workshops take place in person in Denver, Colorado during the evening (approximately 6-9pm) on the date listed.

Dr. Adele Lafrance
Family Matters in Psychedelic Medicine
While significant attention has been paid to the intersection of mind-body-spirit in the context of medicine work, the impact of medicine work on relationships throughout the healing process has received insufficient attention. This workshop will introduce the ethical, brain-based and psychological rationales for attention paid to family matters in psychedelic medicine. Tools and techniques to maximize positive outcomes and minimize distress within the system will also be shared. Clinicians and non-clinicians are welcome.
Proceeds from this workshop are shared with The Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative

Preparation and Integration for your Psiloycbin Journey
Learn the essential knowledge and skills for your self-guided mushroom journey. Explore what matters in terms of mindset, your own sense of readiness to build a relationship with psilocybin, the physical and energetic space for your journey, and useful tips to meet the mushroom with openness. We will also offer simple ways to think about integration and how you might engage that process in order to maximize the potential of your self-guided work with mushrooms to make positive impacts in your life.
