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.

2025 is coming to a close, and what a year it's been. At the end of 2024, our corner of Appalachia was still emerging from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. That work is still ongoing as the ripple effects continue in our community. We are heartened by the progress that's been made, while still mourning all that was lost. In spite of the immense changes wrought by the storm, we started this year with optimism, feeling into our own resilience as Appalachians. We also vowed to connect more...
