Winter Weather Reschedule: Hollers & Horizons
Reschedule AnnouncementY'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 all on our end. And if you can make this new date but haven't signed up yet, here's your sign. 🪧
If you're in the path of the storm, like many of us, we hope you're feeling safe and resourced. Here's a comprehensive guide to weathering the weather from the Red Cross. Stay warm and check on your neighbors, folks. – Ali & Justin |

Kennedy, Jr., and others—signed an executive order intended to accelerate psychedelic research and treatment options. This is the most meaningful federal action on psychedelics since passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, which moved all regulated substances into...
Hey Y'all! We just returned from our first Appalachian Studies Association Conference, held this year in Huntington, WV, feeling inspired by the energy, conversations, and questions that emerged. A new chapter in Appalachian mental health is already unfolding, including a potential $20 million toward ibogaine studies at West Virginia University & Marshall University. Our workshop highlighted Appalachia at this historic crossroads. We focused on what it will take to build responsible,...
