A new monthly gathering for our Appalachian community
|
We’ve been hearing from many of you that you want more consistent, grounded conversations about psychedelics rooted in Appalachian voices and lived experience. What does that look like? For starters, more content – like newsletters, podcast episodes, interviews, and information that ensures Appalachia stays front and center in this work. We're also launching our new monthly series, Hollers & Horizons Appalachian Town Hall on Psychedelics. On the first Monday of every month, we'll come together in the virtual realm to hear from a presenter making waves on this and related topics. We'll feature regional experts, healthcare voices, and community dialogues. This series is built for community members, healthcare workers, clinicians, students, and anyone in Appalachia seeking clear, trustworthy information. Each town hall will include a learnin' from the presenter, plus plenty of time for jawin' (translation: discussion). First up: APS co-founders Justin & Ali, sharing their vision for the region. We've worked hard to make this series accessible and inspiring, and we're thrilled about the speakers we're going to be highlighting throughout the year (stay tuned for line-up announcements!). Membership is $8/month and includes live town halls, recordings, and additional resources. Ready to save your spot and join the conversation? Just click to sign up. We can't wait to see you there.

Our workshop highlighted Appalachia at this historic crossroads. We focused on what it will take to build responsible,...

Reschedule Announcement Y'all might have heard that a big storm is headed our way. And while the weather predictions always come with uncertainty, significant impacts are likely from this one, and we could see infrastructure down for several days. For that reason, we've made the decision to reschedule our January 26 Hollers & Horizons. We're pushing back one week, to Monday, February 2. We'll kick off at the same time: 5 p.m. ET. Already registered? No need to do anything. We've updated it...
