Walk with Us Oct 4 10AM

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Tanya and Suz are organizing a walk in gratitude and reflection on October 4 at 10AM with Vision Walkers Collective.

We hope you can join us!

This is part of the Vision Walkers Collective Medicine Walk. The Medicine Walk is happening across the globe to build a community of gratitude and reciprocity around medicine traditions.

We are organizing a local walk in Oakland, and we would like for you to join us! We will meet at the Huckleberry Staging Area and walk the Interpretive Loop. There is a clearing at the top where we will have a brief reflection circle.

There is no cost to participate, but if you are inspired to pay it forward so others may benefit, you can make a donation to some great non-profits doing work in the field to expand access to medicine work and training.

About the Huckleberry Loop

Please carpool

Huckleberry self-guided nature path, a 1.7-mile loop, traverses a wide variety of terrain and is maintained to minimum standards. The path descends into a mature bay forest, follows the contour for about half a mile, and then ascends to the botanically rich upper trail. Because of the fragile nature of Huckleberry Preserve, dogs, bicycles, and horses are prohibited, except that dogs and horses are allowed on the Skyline National Trail. Jogging is discouraged.

If you are looking for a less challenging or more accessible trail, you can join another walk at VWC.

Staging Area:
​7087 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94611​

Research continues to show that psychedelics can be an effective treatment option for those living with a wide range of pain conditions. On September 27 & 28, REMAP Therapeutics and the Psychedelics & Pain Association (PPA) are hosting an online Symposium that will elevate the rapidly growing body of knowledge in research and pain-patient communities around the use of psychedelics for pain management and treatment of neurological and physical conditions. Registration is offered on a sliding scale.

Touch is coming up as a major theme in new FDA rulemaking about psychedelic therapy. We need our community speaking up together. Frameworks could leave bodyworkers out. But we've done this before. Remember Colorado, when we pulled together and changed the DORA rules that would have banned touch practitioners from natural medicine licensing? That showed what happens when we stand united. While the DORA rules are still very limiting, they are a much better than being excluded entirely! This...
