HHCM has selected 1440 Multiversity located in Scotts Valley, California to host Caring For The Caregivers. The inclusive environment at 1440 invites all people unbound by differences to come together in community to explore, learn, reflect, connect and reenergize themselves and their organizations through conversations that matter to impact the way people live, lead, love, work and wonder.

A growing community of psychedelic training programs has emerged in response to increased demand for trained facilitators to service the nascent psychedelics industry. It is estimated there are now over 100 formal psychedelic training programs located coast to coast in the US. Existing programs range in size, complexity and scope from top universities to small, community based non profits. Few opportunities currently exist for leaders of these programs to communicate and collaborate. It is important to offer venues where leaders from all types of programs can gather, collaborate and cross pollinate.

Healing Hearts, Changing Minds (HHCM) recognizes the need to create and nurture collaborative opportunities not only for and among its grantee partners, but also for them to come together with a diverse mix of leaders from other training programs from across the country. For this reason and others, HHCM has chosen and is honored to organize and sponsor Caring For The Caregivers for up to 30 invited guests.

HHCM believes in cultivating a powerful and holistic environment by assembling groups with complementary expertise. Our commitment lies in nurturing an environment where organizations can connect and learn from one another, and leverage unique strengths to drive positive change. HHCM has chosen to organize and sponsor Caring For The Caregivers to empower and amplify the impact of organizations that share our vision of collective healing. We hope that you will join us at Caring For The Caregivers to connect with friends and colleagues old and new, find solutions to common challenges, learn from each other and nature, and allow us to help replenish and restore the mind, body and spirit of those of you on the front lines of this pivotal movement.

Learning objectives, opportunities and tangible assets for attendees include:

Creation of photography and short film multimedia assets with HHCM Senior Storyteller, Andre Lambertson;

Contribution to convening white paper co-authored by all participants;

Develop an aspirational industry roadmap and best practices; and

Opportunity to actively participate in the event by sharing individual talents and lived experiences contributing to the richness of the overall program.
