You've seen this lake in many of my videos. I would like to welcome you here, by the lake, to celebrate this wonderful summer solstice by my side.
Events
Be In The Amanita Documentary
I will be interviewing you for the documentary if you would like to be in it.
Community
Many of us have learned to keep pulling away to protect ourselves, to find room to heal and find safety. Eventually in our growth we find out that we really are a social species and that we still need each other, smiles, connection and community. But today it's so hard to find others using mushrooms, nature, healing, growing and on this journey. This is why it has been my purpose from the first weeks of using amanita, to create community. The Mushroom Voice showed me this from the very start. Build community. Create connection.
This is a low dose event, not meant for deep work, trauma work or deep healing.This is for lighter work, movement, healing foods, community, sun, and a nordic themed, drum induced, amanita experience in a retreat atmosphere. My vibe for this is remembering summers as a kid when you could play outside, or in water with friends. As adults we still need this!
Why It's Special
It's been three years since I hosted my own event in my home land of Southern Appalachia. I just got so busy with people bringing me all around the world to speak and lead events. I will resume filming the documentary this year. Next year when it opens, my world will change. The ability to host intimate events like this won't be a thing anymore. That's why I wanted to take the time to create this opportunity. I love my small life but I am aware how it can change and I am doing my best to soak it up and hold on to what I can while I can. Once travel begins for the final leg of the documentary, I won't be home again for a long time. I love this land and I want very much to share it with you. I hope you will come celebrate this special 2024 Summer Solstice with me. This is one of those once in a lifetime memorable, take time off work, travel and take lots of pictures, events. It's a chance to be in community, with others of like mind. It's a time to drop out of sight, run away, and play in the sun. It's a chance to be in ritual like our ancestors for the solstice. It is limited to 30 people and presales sold 10 so there are 20 available for the public.

WARNINGS
GA Laws
Georgia is not a drug friendly state. Cannabis is illegal here. Do not bring this or any illegal substances to Georgia. If you need cannabis daily, this is not an event for you. If you need other illegal substances to be regulated, this is not an event for you. If you are actively using alcohol daily, while legal, this is not an event for you.
Anyone on any drug that affects GABA cannot use amanita. Sleep medications like Ambien directly stack with amantia and can cause serious harm. Some cannabis users report having difficulty feeling amanita. This is not an event to begin tapering off anything. I will not help you begin your taper. I cannot give you advice on tapering any medication.
If you are on psychiatric medications, please do not attend.
Bipolar Disorder, Mania
No one with bipolar issues may attend. Even if you have it under control. Amanita triggers mania in these people. Persons in the past who have had even mild bipolar and lied and attended anyway, 100% of the time had a severe mental illness event. Not I nor anyone associated with this event will be able to support or help you afterward with your destabilization issues. No matter how mild you feel it is or long it has been since your last manic episode, amanita will trigger it. You are not an exception.
I am not a shaman. I am not a medical professional. I am not a healer. I do not work one on one. I am an educator and entertainer. You do not want my help with your medical and emotional condition. I am not trained nor qualified to do so. This is a low dose event. There is no follow up meeting after this event.
Thank you for complying with these warnings which is meant to help all of us, especially you.
