Psychedelic Society of Asheville is 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 Asheville.
We are asking for a suggested $10-20 donation to cover rental costs and support future PSA gatherings, but nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.
Please arrive by 2:30pm where we can drop in with a brief meditation, then spend a bit of time sharing and getting to know one another. The livestream training will begin at 3pm and the event will end at 5pm. Feel free to bring yummy snacks or drinks to share with the group if you'd like (totally optional).

We are very much looking forward to this global gathering that will equip our communities with compassionate peer support tools and strengthen the web that connects us all. See you there friends! ꩜
