Programs & Events

At Entheogen Melanin Collective, we’re not just planting seeds — we’re cultivating an entire ecosystem of healing. The offerings below are only some of the programs we plan to implement. We’re just getting started, and the best is yet to come!

Shroomz N The Hood (Launched Fall 2024)

A joyful, educational gathering that brings melanated folks together to explore the healing potential of mushrooms.
✔️ Cultural connection
✔️ Community education
✔️ Legislative advocacy

Why it matters: Our first-ever event — and a powerful reminder that the medicine grows where the people are.

 Herban Legends: Tales from the Trail (Coming Soon)

An intergenerational outdoor workshop reconnecting melanated people with the land and plant-based wisdom.
✔️ Guided trail walks
✔️ Plant identification
✔️ Storytelling + herbal tea

Why it matters: We’ve always been close to the earth — we just got pushed off the path.

The Sacred Exit Plan (Coming Soon)

End-of-life literacy and legacy workshops for melanated families and caregivers.
✔️ Guided by death doulas and grief workers
✔️ Focused on storytelling, legacy, and community care
✔️ Education on after-death planning + herbal support

Why it matters: Death deserves the same reverence as birth. Our communities deserve support through the entire cycle.

Threshold Tea Party (Coming Soon)

A sacred, psychedelic-adjacent experience for folks in recovery or those who can't (or choose not to) use entheogens.
✔️ Trauma-informed breathwork
✔️ Herbal tea blends and glycerin-based tinctures
✔️ Ritual healing without the substance

Why it matters: Transformation isn’t limited to medicine journeys. Healing is a birthright for everyone.

 Ears Wide Open (Coming Soon)

An audiobook-based harm reduction program that explores systemic racism, incarceration, poverty, and Black family dynamics.
✔️ Designed for people in recovery
✔️ Community-led reflection and dialogue
✔️ Led by EMC facilitators

Why it matters: Sometimes the best trips happen when we listen — not when we ingest.

 Get Right or Get Left: Navigating Entheogen Legalities (Coming Soon)

A workshop that explores the policies, risks, and rights surrounding psychedelics—especially for melanated folks.
✔️ Legal education
✔️ Safety strategies
✔️ Empowered navigation

Why it matters: If we're going to engage with this medicine, we need to know the rules—and how to rewrite them.
