I'm so excited to share this with you: the Aware Project Los Angeles chapter is reawakening!

For those who don't know its history — the Aware Project was founded in 2014 by Ashley Booth, whose gatherings shaped and touched so many in this community, myself included.

After a few dormant years as her path took her to other areas of the psychedelic ecosystem, Ashley has passed the torch to me, and I'll be stepping in as the new leader of the LA chapter.

I'm honored beyond words to carry this forward, and to open our first gathering with the person who started it all — Ashley Booth will be joining us as our inaugural speaker. It feels like the perfect way to honor where this community came from as we step into what's next.

Ashley will be sharing what she has been up to these past years, becoming a therapist, working for MAPS on the MDMA trials, becoming a psychedelic-assisted therapy trainer, author and leading voice at the intersection of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and psychedelics, which is the topic she will be presenting on at our event on the 15th. She will be sharing her delightful illustrated picture book for adults on IFS as well as leading an interactive workshop on how to apply its principles to psychedelic preparation and integration.

Come join us for a night of community connections new and old!
