Portland, OR 97232
(South-most building at the east end of the Burnside Bridge)

You're invited to an evening of community meditation and discussion for the preparation and integration of psychedelic journeys.

We will start with brief instruction and guidance into a simple, heart-warming meditation practice, leading into silent sitting in this practice (~30mins) followed by group discussion.

Topics are centered around the role psychedelics can play in settling deeper into the experience of inner peace, challenges and rewards encountered before, during and after journeying, and digging more into the experience of peace every day.

This is an open space for curious minds and open hearts — whether you're deep in the work or just beginning to explore.

All are invited to make themselves comfortable sitting on the provided pillows, back jacks or chairs. However, participants are welcome to bring their own meditation cushions, pillows, or props.

As with all events, please plan to arrive early or on-time so we can begin promptly.

NOTE: This event is also posted elsewhere on Meetup, where others besides here have RSVP'd to it.

In the decades since learning these techniques, Scott has participated in and led countless sessions centered around their practice.

The Host
Scott was 15 when he was introduced to his first psychedelic experience. This opened him to a blissful state of consciousness beyond the mind, body and senses. When he was 16, he was taught some simple meditation techniques that allowed him to tap into that consciousness on a daily basis and which have helped him to get the most out his psychedelic journeys.

In the decades since learning these techniques, Scott has participated in and led countless sessions centered around their practice.

Every Third Friday of the month at 5:15 pm
Taborspace Library Room

This community gathering invites people in recovery who are interested in, or currently integrating psychedelics into their healing practice.

We will discuss how psychedelics impact addictive behaviors and risks of relapse. We will explore relationships with altered states of consciousness, sobriety vs moderation, various recovery models, and systemic pressures leading to overconsumption and addictive tendencies. The purpose of the gathering is to be in dialogue about these topics and how they impact our relationship to self, others, substances and altered states.

While we’re not requiring everyone be sober or abstinent from all substances, we do ask that everyone attending the meeting not be engaging with whatever substance that triggers the addictive behavior. Our intention for this monthly gathering is for everyone to have a confidential and safe space where people are able to self manage and discuss openly. This group offers support for people who already have an active healing process around their addiction and are looking for a community to share it with and get support from.
