We’re kicking off a new community-driven book club with a special Ask the Author event featuring Idaho-based author Dr. Michael Sapiro, discussing his book Truth Medicine: Healing and Living Authentically Through Psychedelic Psychotherapy — an accessible guide to psychedelic psychotherapy and its transformative healing abilities, written by a clinical psychologist and psychedelics expert.

✨ What to expect:
💬 Live Q&A + community discussion
📖 Books that move the soul

This casual gathering happens every 8 weeks, diving into books on psychedelics, consciousness, healing, and personal transformation. Future sessions may feature local guest authors, fresh voices, and unexpected insights.
