Zendo Principals of Psychedelic Peer Support

We are excited to announce a big event in collaboration with the Global Psychedelic Society (GPS)  and the Zendo Project — a leader in psychedelic peer support education.

Join us to receive live training from the Zendo Project and learn how to support others through challenging psychedelic experiences with skill, presence, and care.

This workshop will introduce the four Principles of Psychedelic Harm Reduction:

✔️Safe space

✔️Sitting, not guiding

✔️Through, not down

✔️Difficult is not necessarily bad

We'll go beyond theory with interactive elements like role-play scenarios and listening exercises to help ground these principles in real-world peer support.

The GPS is streaming this workshop exclusively to in-person watch party events hosted by local Psychedelic Societies like ours around the world. They will also be providing us with prompts to continue engaging with one another after the workshop.

Whether you're interested in harm reduction, part of a sitting group, or just want to learn how to support others more effectively, this event is for you. Come learn from the psychedelic harm reduction experts and connect with your local community here in Minnesota!

Note that this event will be free and open to the public. Plan to arrive early as space will be limited if there is a lot of interest.
We will welcome folks at 1:30pm and the livestream for the event with other societies will start promptly at 2pm and we will close the doors at that time so as not to disrupt the training process.

Please note that this is a sober gathering and not place to come while on any psychedelics, or to sell or find access to psychedelics or any underground ceremonies or facilitators. This rule is strictly enforced and those not adhering to these rules will be asked to leave.
We are an above ground organization, and a 501(c)(3) and have been operating in this space legally since 2018. While we are collectively working to change the local laws around psychedelics, they are currently considered illegal drugs and our group simply aims to connect around our interests, share stories about our experiences, and keep things respectful and LEGAL so we can continue to operate and provide these spaces and gatherings for all of you.
Please also note that while many folks are curious about psychedelics for healing from mental health symptoms, these gatherings are not designed to provide therapy.
