What makes a gathering truly transformational isn’t just who shows up — it’s how the space is held. In this workshop, you’ll learn the art and science of crafting intentional containers that support deep connection, safety, and growth.
Led by Erica Siegal, LCSW — a harm reduction leader and event production consultant with over 15 years of experience in festivals and intentional psychedelic communities — this offering weaves together the principles of hospitality, safety, and design. Erica brings her expertise from the frontlines of large-scale events and intimate community spaces, helping participants master the subtle yet powerful skills of hosting environments where transformation can thrive.
You’ll walk away with:
Practical tools for creating safe, welcoming, and trauma-informed spaces.
Insights into design and flow that optimize group dynamics and personal transformation.
A deeper understanding of the role of the host as both steward and catalyst for collective experience.
Whether you’re an event producer, facilitator, or community builder, this workshop will help you refine your presence, elevate your offerings, and embody the art of psychedelic hospitality.
