About this Event

Join us for an open discussion about the potential and promise of psychedelics for 12 Step Recovery with Dr. David Wiss, Rachel Kove, Danny Santos & our Founder Paul Karasik:

"Holding the Dialectic: Psychedelics and 12-Step Recovery"

Two transformative healing cultures are converging, whether traditionalists like it or not. Dr. David Wiss—recovery revolutionary and mental health scientist—examines the unstoppable integration of psychedelic medicine into recovery landscapes. With mounting evidence for trauma healing and growing acceptance among treatment providers, the old either/or paradigm is crumbling. Learn why holding both truths simultaneously isn’t just possible but necessary, and how stigma-driven resistance ultimately harms those seeking relief from suffering.
