Join us for an invite-only conversation for American Jewish leaders to explore the intersection of psychedelics and Jewish life in this moment
Psychedelic usage is becoming more mainstream in the Jewish community in medical, therapeutic, recreational, and spiritual contexts. As this movement grows, Jewish leaders and clergy need the resources to navigate this complex moment of Jewish psychedelic re-emergence and understand what it means for Jewish identity, practice, engagement and healing. Join us for a facilitated conversation with medical, spiritual and underground practitioners.
The webinar will be 60 minutes long.
