Join the Hudson Valley Psychedelic Society, Forest Haven, and The N.E.S.T. for a monthly community gathering on the last Thursday of most months.

This event is designed to foster open dialogue, share experiences & build community support with the fascinating world of psychedelics.

In April, we welcome Charley Wininger, speaker and author of “Listening to Ecstasy”.

Charley will share on the topic Pulling Down Heaven: Curating Group Experiences with MDMA For Healing And Community Building.

Charley Wininger and his wife Shelley have been hosting annual gatherings using MDMA for the NYC psychedelic community since 2010. The sense of belonging and the lasting friendships that have resulted from these meaningful experiences have been a source of strength and joy for the participants. Over time, an expanding circle of love, gratitude and generosity has developed. This stands in stark contrast -- as well as an antidote -- to a culture where alienation and loneliness are rampant.

And anyone can do this. As detailed in his book, “Listening to Ecstasy: The Transformational Power of MDMA,” Charley shares the crucial fine points that maximize the chances for a day of healing, bliss and kinship that many who participate declare to be the highlight of their year.

This is a free event. Monetary donations are welcome.

Please bring a healthy snack to share.
