Led by Michael Applegate, ATR, LCPC, a disabled U.S. Navy veteran and art therapist, this 2.5-hour workshop is designed specifically to support veterans and their caregivers through education, creativity, and community connection. Rooted in both lived experience and clinical expertise, Michael will guide participants through an informative and expressive exploration of psychedelic-assisted therapy and its role in the healing process for veterans navigating trauma, transition, and personal growth.

Join us at the first monthly Open Studio for Psychedelic Integration. Rooted in accessibility and community care, the studio nurtures personal expression, collective healing, and the transformative power of creativity as medicine.

Our First Session is Saturday, December 13th, from 12:00 - 2:00 pm

Open studio times invite community members to explore a wide range of artistic mediums in a welcoming, supportive environment. These sessions emphasize process over product, offering participants freedom to engage their creativity without judgment. Whether through painting, collage, sculpture, or mixed media, the act of creating becomes a therapeutic tool for self-expression, grounding, and release.
