At 42 years young, I spent my whole life believing that anything psychedelic should be avoided so I never even considered the opposite could be true. The topic can feel very taboo in some circles and as a newbie, I was so inquisitive and intimidated to bring up the topic – until I found D216. From attending a marquee event or weekly meetings with highly experienced and educated speakers, I realized I was not alone on this journey. There is a wealth of resources within this club and I love knowing that there are actually so many people like me, curious and excited about alternative forms of healing and making life more enjoyable!

District 216 has been a godsend—a wonderful community of bright, enlightened individuals who bring invaluable education, awareness, knowledge, and wisdom to the table. I’ve made friends, built connections, and learned more about psychedelics and their role in healing than I ever thought possible. Best of all, it all happened while having fun.

For me, District216 is more than a space, it’s a heart-centered community where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. It blends education on psychedelics with conscious connection, interactive healing modalities, and a true family vibe. It’s been a grounding force and a portal for transformation in my own journey.

I’ve attended multiple marquee gatherings and smaller community events on Wednesdays, and I’m always struck by the quality and intention behind everything you put together. I especially appreciate the variety of topics—from psychedelics and mental health to music, women’s health, veteran affairs, and PTSD—and the caliber of speakers who bring real expertise and insight. I’ve walked away from every event with meaningful takeaways and have met some incredible people along the way. District216 has become such a valuable part of [our] community—I honestly can’t imagine it without it.

The heart and intention behind District216 is more than a social club – it’s a space where genuine connection, curiosity, and healing are welcomed. Jacob and his team do an epic job at crediting opportunities for thoughtful dialogue, personal growth, and safe exploration. The community feels grounded, open-minded, and deeply supportive—I’m grateful to be part of it.
