The next frontier! You've heard about it. You've read about it. Maybe you've tried it?

Regardless, we're here to guide you through the basics of psychedelics so take our hand and let's go on a journey! We're beyond excited to have writer, journalist, and all around ~cool~ person Michelle Janikian teaching this amazing workshop.

What are psychedelics and what are they used for? How do you choose the right psychedelic? How do you prepare for a psychedelic experience? What's a bad trip? How can psychedelics change your life?

We're going to do a deep dive into everything you ever wanted to know and you'll have the opportunity to ask Michelle all of the questions!
