East Forest's Music for Mushrooms Screening

In times of uncertainty, we can all use a bit of guidance and healing. By now, you know how important music is to us at Sana. That’s why we're excited to present and share Music For Mushrooms, a documentary that dives deep into how music and psychedelics can support our emotional resilience. 

We’re offering you a FREE, limited screening from May 5th to May 15th, 2025. It’s a perfect opportunity to take a pause and reconnect with yourself, and we will be giving you TWO opportunities in May to also reconnect with the community as we discuss the film during our May Psychedelic Futures and Psychedelic Safety, Support, and Integration meetings.

Click http://eastforest.org/sanahealingcollective to watch the trailer, and head back there between May 5th and 15th to watch the film. 

If you think someone else might benefit from this, please feel free to share!
