375 Irving Open-House

You're invited to an open-house for a new Live/Work space exclusively for therapists and facilitators in Denver at 375 Irving St.

One of the organizers of this meetup group has converted this rental home/Duplex into a live/work space exclusively for therapists and facilitators. It's a co-living and co-working setup, a residence where residents also have everything they need to see clients and host private events on-site. In addition to a shared therapy office and ceremony space, there’s also a patio with an outdoor projector and film screening area and a huge swim-spa/Hot Tub that will be available during the open house.

What's Happening:
Besides touring the home, members of the CPPC will be offering peer-led trainings and experiential events throughout the evening. If you'd like to offer something, message tony@skepticalseekers.com.

If this sounds like it could be a fit for you or someone in your network, please invite them. No pets or children allowed at this opening.

Harm Reduction Services Distinguished from Licensed Facilitation:
Colorado has enacted the Natural Medicine Health Act (“NMHA”), which both decriminalized the adult possession and sharing of certain natural medicines and also created a regulated pathway to access psilocybin in licensed healing centers. The activities at 375 Irving are private and invite-only, carried out under the decriminalization provisions of the NMHA. These decriminalization provisions of NMHA allow adults to engage in private ceremonies with no money exchanged, and also allow adults to provide bona fide harm reduction services such as coaching and be paid for these services while concurrently sharing natural medicine for no remuneration. See Colorado Revised Statute Section 18-18-434(12)(d).

All residents of 375 Irving strictly comply with Colorado law regarding these services and do not engage in the regulated provision of psychedelic facilitation at this location. Attendees of events must be informed whether or not hosts are Licensed under Colorado State Licensing pursuant to Article 170 of Title 12.

Under the regulated portion of NMHA, the practice of facilitation includes several specific features, including: (a) regulated preparation, administration, and integration sessions in a healing center; (b) administration sessions require numerous specific plans and disclosures, including transportation plans, safety plans, and other related standard operating procedures; (c) healing centers are licensed locations approved by local zoning regulations;

Numerous aspects of events at this location are distinguishable and different from the regulated NMHA program, including: (a) sessions are not in a state licensed healing center; (b) 375 Irving is not approved explicitly by local zoning regulations; and (c) Hosts may not have completed the state mandated practicum or consultation requirements prior to engaging in this work.
As such, the hosts of any event at this location do not intend to engage in the unlicensed practice of facilitation and adhere to state law as it restricts and permits unlicensed sharing of natural medicines.
