SUMMARY:Mindfulness & Psychedelics: A Synergistic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:How can having a mindfulness meditation practice help with the preparation\, navigation and integration of a psychedelic experience? \nHow can a psychedelic experience support the deepening of one’s meditation practice? \nWhat do meditation practice and psychedelics teach us about surrendering?  \nWe will explore these questions through some reflections\, guided practices\, break-out groups and Q&As. \nThis event is freely offered with a suggested donation amount of $15. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nRSVP \nTeacher bio: \nGuillaume Caron’s greatest teachers are the challenges and wonders of his own life: balancing artistic aspirations with the necessity to make a living\, striving for a healthy lifestyle in a massive urban center\, and adapting to a non-native culture and language while remaining authentic. \nGuillaume started practicing meditation in 2014 at New York Insight where he was exposed to a vast array of teaching styles and ways of relating to the Dharma. While rooted in Theravada Buddhism\, Guillaume has been exploring other traditions of awakening and modalities of healing such as non-violent communication\, inner child awareness and plant medicine ceremonies. \nGuillaume is currently in the Mindfulness Training Institute under the guidance of Martin Aylward and Mark Coleman. Guillaume serves as a Practice Leader for New York Insight and is a Psychedelic Sangha collaborator. \nGuillaume is currently in the Mindfulness Training Institute under the guidance of Martin Aylward and Mark Coleman.

SUMMARY:April Residency at Nowadays: John MacLean - A Search for Transcendence in Club Culture and Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor our April Residency at Nowadays present John MacLean aka The Juan MacLean \nJohn MacLean\, aka Juan MacLean / The Juan MacLean\, is a ceremonial facilitator who has\nstudied extensively both in the Amazon jungle of Peru and also various western contemporary\nmodalities concerning the intersection of consciousness\, sound and healing. He is also a multi-\ninstrumentalist\, DJ\, and music producer of electronic music\, with an interest in exploring and\nquestioning issues around recreational use of psychedelics and the ways in which\, if any\, the\ncontainer of a club settings might resemble traditional ceremonies that involved repetitive\nrhythmic music as a way of entering into a trance state for healing and communal bonding. \nJohn will speak to his experience and journey of awakening that was initiated over 25 years ago\nby the spiritual emergency of opiate addiction\, and subsequent recovery through various\nmeditative techniques and ceremonial psychedelic use. He will also speak to issues of cultural\nappropriation\, cultural extraction\, and the ongoing struggle to find a respectful and healing\ncontainer for these ancient psychedelic technologies in the current context of Capitalism in\nwhich they are reemerging into the mainstream. He will explore issues around club culture and\nthe entertainment industry in general and whether or not these experiences and ‘products’ are\ntools of healing and transformation\, or simply ways of assuaging existential anxiety in order to\nkeep a broken system running smoothly. He often refers to the Krishnamurti quote “It is no\nmeasure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society” as a reference and\nframework for his work with psychedelics. \n  \nThere will also be a brief sound experience with some vibrational as a demonstration of the\nkinds of techniques used in psychedelic ceremonies as a way of entering into a non-ordinary\nstate of consciousness.

SUMMARY:Psychedelic Access Fund x Cardea Fundraising Night
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here! \n  \nPsychedelic Care—Accessibility for All. \nWe’re excited to launch the first fundraising event to celebrate the Psychedelic Access Fund’s partnership with Cardea. \nJoin us on Thursday\, April 6th at 6:30 PM for an evening of networking\, mingling\, and gathering in community with the common goal of paying it forward and bringing psychedelic healing to those in need. \nThe event is taking place at CARDEA—a one-of-a-kind space designed by celebrated artist Randy Polumbo. The entire space is a work of art featuring hand-crafted reishi mushroom furniture\, light installations\, and a playful atmosphere that inspires creativity. \nOur goal for the night is to raise $2\,100 \nThis covers full sponsorship for two individuals to join CARDEA’s Group Ketamine Journey Series. \nAbout The Event: \nWith your support\, we’re bridging the gap between psychedelic care and accessibility. \nThis event is an opportunity to connect and network with others in the psychedelic space. We’ll have two main pieces of entertainment throughout the night: \n\nSpontaneous\, personalized poetry by Peter Chinman (@TheParkPoet)\nAn inspiring dance performance by Madeline Warriner (@MaddieWarr)\n\nYou’ll also enjoy lite bites and refreshments from our sponsors: \n\nFarm-to-Table Ethiopian food by Ras Plant Based\nCrunchy mushroom snacks by Popadelics\nBooze-free cocktails by Ghia\nRelaxing refreshments by Moment\n\nAbout CARDEA’s Group Ketamine Journey Series: \nTo honor both community and accessibility\, CARDEA created their Group Ketamine Journey Series—a 3-part group ketamine experience. \nThe sessions are held at CARDEA’s gathering grotto and they’re kept intimate with only 5 to 7 people per group. All experiences are hosted by a licensed therapist and a sound practitioner that guides the hour-long session with live sound and vibrational instruments. \nThe group meets weekly for four weeks\, going through the entire experience together. The series includes three ketamine-assisted journeys and two group dialogic sessions—CARDEA’s unique approach to preparation and reflection. \nLearn more about the Group Ketamine Journey Series \nMeet The Psychedelic Access Fund: \nThe Psychedelic Access Fund (PAF) is a non-profit organization\, determined to remove the financial barriers that prevent a person from experiencing psychedelic healing. We believe that psychedelic healing should be accessible to all\, regardless of their ability to pay for it. We accomplish this by sponsoring select individuals for ketamine-assisted therapy\, and will eventually move into psilocybin\, once it becomes available. \nMeet CARDEA: \nCARDEA is a Ketamine Space that takes a seriously playful approach to psychedelic care. With the ethos of “radical hospitality” at their core\, they aim to create a space for growth and expanded awareness from a place of playful creativity. CARDEA goes beyond just a space for ketamine-assisted therapy. They believe in the improvisational nature of personal growth and tap into many different healing modalities like energy healing\, art\, moving meditation\, and more. \n

SUMMARY:Guided Bodily Reverie: Body Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Reserve Your Spot  \n  \nGuided Bodily Reverie \nThis class is a snapshot in time of my current explorations in decentralizing and distributing awareness to be responsive to\, and responsible for\, the multiplicity inherent in the carnal body. Privileging qualitative sensorial curiosity and actively resisting the urge to translate these experiences into the quantitative world of data and information. Endeavoring to remove the scalpel from the hands of the domesticating influence of any number of patterns and systems that alienate us from our own sentient and sensuous bodies. My offering is a flavor of guided meditation which I have come to call Guided Bodily Reverie. \nClass includes somatic movement and awareness exercises\, consented hands-on and/or self-touch\, deep meditation practices\, and exploration of improvised movement and vocalization\, among other creative devices. We will move at the pace of our own visceral exploration. \nThis class can only hold 5 guests. Please wear comfortable clothing. \nKayvon Pourazar was born in Tehran and spent his formative years in Iran\, Turkey and England. He immigrated to the US in 1995\, graduated with a BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase in 2000 and has resided in NYC ever since\, working as a contemporary/experimental dancer and teacher. Kayvon has collaborated and performed in the works of numerous NYC-based choreographers and dancemakers. In 2010 he received a Bessie Award for Performance. He has served as Adjunct Faculty at Bennington College and The New School\, has taught classes frequently at Movement Research and as a guest artist in several universities and festivals domestically and internationally.

SUMMARY:ARTemple with Ross Ellenhorn
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here \n  \nJoin CARDEA’s co-founder Ross Ellenhorn at ARTemple—a space to co-create art from a place of inner guidance\, instead of guidelines. This space is fitting for anyone\, no art experience required. Through pen\, pencil\, charcoal\, and pain\, we’ll meet each other in a place of creativity\, improvisation\, and connection.  \nWe’re gathering at CARDEA’s gathering grotto on Sunday\, March 26th at 10:30 AM. This is a free event and a kid-friendly space. RSVP to save your spot!  \n“It’s not what you see that is art; art is the gap\,” wrote great Dadaist artist Marcel Duchamp. Art is always about the middle land we call relationship or encounter—the ineffable terrain of the in-between—that space we all know as real since we all feel most real when we’re there. At Cardea\, we see this space as a kind of holy site\, a secularly sacred realm in which we “encounter encounter\,” or have a “relationship with relationship\,” as we put it. And we see it this way because we believe that it is in the land of the threshold where we come alive\, experience the aliveness in others\, and—again—encounter the life that courses between us. \n  \nThe famous theologian Martin Buber wrote that “All real living is meeting.” We think he’s exactly right.  And at our monthly ARTemple Sundays\, we meet in the deepest way through the making of art. Expect no sermons\, no hagiarchy or hierarchy\, and only the graceful act of conjuring life through pen\, pencil\, charcoal\, and paint. \n  \nThis process is less “art for art’s sake” then “art for relating\, connecting and the experience of the “thou.”  There is absolutely zero need for artistic skill at ARTemple and you will not learn new skills either!  Also\, feel very free to bring the kids. They have a lot to teach us.

SUMMARY:Transcend Sings: The Rites of Spring Mini Concert
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots – RSVP here! \n  \n\n\nTranscend exists to bring trans and gender-expansive/gender non-conforming voices into the choral music of the western choral tradition. We perform art music (in all its forms) from medieval to contemporary\, with a general focus on presenting works of composers from minority backgrounds. \n  \nOur goals are artistic\, musical\, pedagogical and socially-oriented: we are making interesting\, thoughtful music\, while using our voices to create space for gender-expansive voices in the traditional canon and carve out a legacy for future generations of trans or gender-expansive singers. \nSinging together — whether that’s informally with our friends at karaoke\, or in a structure environment\, like a choir — is one of the core elements of the human experience. Research tells us that singers of all levels benefit in myriad ways from choral singing: physically (blood pressure! heart rate!)\, emotionally (lower anxiety! stronger sense of personal identity!)and socially (group identity! sense of belonging! sense of personal and group achievement!). It’s hard to find any downsides to being in a choir… \n  \n…Unless\, of course\, there’s no choir for you\, no choral home where you feel welcome because you don’t really ‘fit’ into the traditional vocal paradigms on which western choral music is built. In short\, if you aren’t clearly an S(oprano)\, A(lto)\, T(enor) or B(ass)\, there are very few places where your voice is a comfortable\, easy fit. This is obviously an issue for trans singers in transition\, whose voices are changeable and uncertain\, but it’s also an issue for anyone else whose voice just happens to be a little different. Maybe your timbre is unusual. Maybe you’re louder than most. Maybe your voice is androgynous and doesn’t really fit with the other voices in your section. What then? \n  \nThat’s where Transcend steps in: We believe that there’s a place for everyone\, regardless of voice type\, status or otherwise. We exist to show the world what beauty there can be in voices that don’t ‘fit\,’ to showcase the unique aesthetic of transitioning and non-conforming voices coming together in song. \n  \nEveryone deserves to have a voice. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard. Everyone deserves a welcoming place where they can express themselves and communicate with others musically. We believe that singing is a human right\, and we exist to advocate extending that right to everyone\, regardless of whether or not their voice ‘fits.’ \n  \nOurs didn’t. \n  \nThus\, we are creating our own musical space\, to show others like us that their voices are valued\, are beautiful\, are worth hearing.

SUMMARY:Cardea: The Studio Mycologist
DESCRIPTION:Free Event @ Nowadays \n  \nFor the March edition of Cardea’s residency\, Randy Polumbo and Eugenia Bone will be joining us for a talk on using fungi as an artistic medium and the mycology that makes it possible\, followed by a wide ranging Q and A covering mycology\, fungal ecology and psychedelic mushrooms. \n  \nRandy Polumbo is an installation-based artist who lives and works between Joshua Tree\, California and New York City. His artwork has been shown nationally and internationally across metropoles and natural landscapes such as deserts\, ruins\, and caves. He is a graduate of The Cooper Union School of Art\, as well as a LEED accredited master builder and serves on the Board of Directors of New York Live Arts. Randy joins us with decades of experience in building spaces and immersive environments\, using polished metal and blown glass\, reishi mushroom mycelium\, kaleidoscopic grottos\, and cast glass. His projects range from museum installations to public sculpture\, to monumental renovation of New York mansions and apartments for clients and design luminaries around the world. \nRandy has designed and built Cardea’s Tribeca Ketamine Space in New York City to enhance the calming\, novel and imaginative environment for transformative experiences. The space’s design materializes Cardea’s concept of “radical hospitality\,” which places the guest and their goals at the visual\, tactile\, and acoustical center of the experience. All sensory interactions have been considered\, from lighting\, sound\, scents and textures\, leading each moment of a journey to a new discovery. Randy first began growing and casting mycelium during COVID. This led to his monumental installation at the Brooklyn Museum and a myriad other mycelia projects including Cardea! \nEugenia Bone is an internationally known food and science writer whose work has appeared in many anthologies\, magazines\, and newspapers. She is a member of the faculty at the New York Botanical Garden where she teaches classes on mycophagy and psychedelic mushrooms. She is the author or co-author of eight books on food and biology\, including the category staple Mycophilia\, and most recently\, the Fantastic Fungi Community Cookbook (December\, 2021). She has been nominated for a variety of awards\, including a James Beard Award. Eugenia is featured in the documentary directed by Louie Schwartzberg\, Fantastic Fungi (2019)\, and in the Netflix children’s show about food\, Waffles + Mochi (the mushroom episode) produced by Michele Obama’s Higher Ground Productions.

SUMMARY:The Philosopher Stoned: Foucault on Acid and the Neoliberal Temptation
DESCRIPTION:RSVP to reserve your spot! \n\n \nPsychedelics have always been big business\, but lately they have become the center of a rapidly growing consciousness-expanding industry. We will consider this so-called “psychedelic renaissance” in light of philosopher and historian Michel Foucault’s critique of neoliberalism\, especially after his fabled Death Valley acid trip in 1975. How might Foucault help prepare us for the new wave of psychedelic commerce? What\, exactly\, is new about it? Or is it really just business as usual?  \nNathan Gorelick is Term Assistant Professor of English at Barnard College. Previously\, he was Associate Professor of English at Utah Valley University\, and he holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has published widely on the intersections of literature\, philosophy\, and psychoanalysis. His first book\, The Unwritten Enlightenment\, is forthcoming from Northwestern University Press. He is currently researching the history of the relation between psychedelics and the Freudian field\, as well as how this relation may be reinvented today.

SUMMARY:Sister Circle: Womxn's Integration Support @ Cardea Ketamine Space
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots – Register Here!\n  \n\n\n\nOur womxn’s integration support circles aim to create a safe space to share our psychedelic experiences openly and hold space in support of each other. On March 1st from 7-9 PM\, we will gather at Cardea Ketamine space for an in-person discussion about psychedelics\, journey exploration\, and mental health. \nVIEW THE SPACE. \nCardea is a new approach to psychedelics that focuses on “serious play” as a central element in a person’s growth\, awakening\, and healing. Play is the marrow of compassion\, the essential element of cooperation\, and is the place and condition where we feel most ourselves. Cardea sees this focus on play and livingness as a central but often uncredited element in both psychedelic and psychotherapeutic care. Their expert practitioners lead group and solo sessions by using sound as an intensely attuned care through vibrational instruments such as gongs\, bells\, drums\, singing bowls\, and the human voice. Unlike most Ketamine providers\, performing live ceremonial sound work allows their practitioners to mold and shift the vibrational space to match the needs of their guests. \nWe hope you can join us and experience Cardea’s magical wonderland of play. \nWe will have light snacks and refreshments during our support circle. \nThis is a free event\, but donations are always welcome. \n  \nHope to see you there! ♡ \n  \n————————— \nHow to get here ~ \n\nBy subway\, take the A\,C\,E\,1 trains to Canal Street\nBy bus\, take the M21 to Spring/Greenwich. Or M55 to 6th Ave/Canal\n\n  \n  \nQuestions? Please email hello@thepsychedelicsisterhood.com

SUMMARY:Psychedelics Unhinged with Dr. Tehseen Noorani
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots – Register Here!\n  \nAs archetypal tricksters\, psychedelics continue to defy explanation. Invoking Cardea\, the trickster goddess of the hinge\, I want this talk to open some questions for us to play with: if psychedelics produce such weird and unruly experiences\, why are they therapeutic\, and what else might they be? I’ll draw on my research\, from psychedelic clinical trials\, through to sites where we find related kinds of extreme experiences. I’ll also open up a dialogue with the Cardea founders about the trickster energies that give the name to their own work. \nTehseen Noorani is a researcher interested in the intersections of psychedelic and ‘psychotic’ or mad experiences. He has a PhD studying the hearing voices movement\, a postdoc spearheading qualitative research for the Johns Hopkins psychedelic research centre and has written on the medicalisation of psychedelics. He’s a part-time scholar-in-residence for Tactogen Public Benefit Corporation and an ambassador to The Fireside Project\, and was a co-organizer of the 2021 conference\, Psychedelics\, Madness & Awakening: Harm Reduction and Future Visions. Since 2022 he has facilitated ‘Rethinking Psychedelic Trials\, an interdisciplinary working group focused on methodological questions in the study of psychedelics.

DESCRIPTION:RSVP to the Free Event \nFor the 3rd edition of Cardea’s residency\, Dr. Nicholas Powers will be joining us for a lecture. Powers is a literature professor\, novelist and journalist. He has facilitated workshops from Occupy Wall Street\, PEX\, Burning Man and the California Institute for Integral Studies\, and his writings have appeared in The Village Voice\, Huffington Post\, The Raw Story\, Truth-Out\, The Indypendent\, Business Insider\, Chacruna\, Double Blind and the MAPS Spring 2018 newsletter. He has been interviewed by Naropa University’s “The Root” program on psychedelics and race. His latest book\, a political vampire book titled\, “Thirst” just came out\, and his prior book “The Ground Below Zero: 9/11 to Burning Man\, New Orleans to Darfur\, Haiti to Occupy Wall Street” was published in 2014 by Upset Press. He’ll be talking with us tonight about psychedelics and race. \n  \nAs Powers sees it\, the psychedelic hype machine is going 100mph\, but the reality has not caught up. Amidst all the headlines\, basic questions such as\, say\, how can LSD or molly or ‘shrooms cut the intergenerational trauma loops for working class people of color\, are barely talked about. In this presentation\, Dr. Powers looks at how a Container beyond the basic ideas currently being put forth in the medical model’s ideas of “Set and Setting” are necessary when bringing psychedelic care to those who are marginalized. \n  \nHe’ll explore the Black Freedom Movement as a potential container. In Dr. Powers’ words: “In the Black Freedom Movement\, freedom is found by returning to the body\, a political and risky act because under white supremacy\, the body is what we are exiled from. Psychedelics can be the yellow brick road back home.”
