What Is The Medicine?  

Through the lens of the Indigenous Medicine Wheel, Duncan and Jen will invite you to consider that medicine may not only be what's in the cup—but  also what already lives within you.  

As our teachings often remind us, “When we do ceremony with the sacred  plants, the plants point us in the direction to go in and down. The  “medicine” is there, waiting for you. Follow it. Go down and in to your lodge,  and see for yourself what you find.”

Sadly, in our belief and practice of  “separation”, we “think” that what we seek is “out and up”, meaning “out  there and/or up there.”

Through cultural teachings, followed by a brief  practice, we will ask you to consider an alternative possibility

A growing body of evidence supports psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for conditions like PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, and end-of-life distress — yet current regulatory guidelines in Canada may be doing more harm than good. Join us for a webinar examining the BCCSW's recent guidance, the open letter challenging it, and what evidence-informed, harm-reduction-centred regulation should look like.

In this webinar, Brad Necyk of the Psychedelic Puppet Show will explore the power of storytelling to demystify and destigmatize psychedelics. Framing narrative as a tool for education, healing, and cultural change, he will invite creators, clinicians, and curious minds to consider how playful, imaginative storytelling can make psychedelic awareness accessible and engaging. The session concludes with a call to action: join a hands-on workshop to develop and share your own psychedelic stories.
