NYC, MIA & SF: Vegan Cowork, Wellist Week, Cognitive Liberty & Yes Dance
Dear friends and colleagues,
Many of you know me from the green coworking days—now you can do that again at Caravan of Dreams (while eating a delicious vegan meal). On April 15, join the launch of their new coworking program.
Earth Weekend plans? We’ve got you covered, join DJs for Climate Action with us and Converge on April 25th at Dead Letter No. 9 with Parties4Peace (details below). Lineup’s stacked. Come dance like the planet depends on it because, well… it does.
We’ll also be at Earth Love Fest’s Afterparty at House of Yes, April 26th.
For more love, 4/20 and Bicycle Day 4/19 are happening. We’ll join our friends at the Psychedelic Assembly for the March for Cognitive Liberty. It’s about one simple idea: we should have total sovereignty over our own minds.
Dancing together is a beautiful prelude to creation, and we’re dreaming up something special for Community Week, organized by Sugary. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, read about the work happening across the country from folks in our PSYCA network, from SF Climate Week to Miami’s Wellist Week and more.
MIA: Wellist Week, Now through April 19
The inaugural Wellist Week has begun in Miami and lasts until April 19 as the industry’s first gathering dialing in on the business and culture of wellness. Our dear friend Liz Friedland is excited to join as a Curator for what’s far from your typical conference. Intimate by design, it’s built to cultivate meaningful connections across a community of builders, founders, executives, investors, and cultural leaders. Use FRIEDLAND10 for a discount.
If you’re in town, join The Heal House Gathering 4/17 by PSYCA Ambassador Yadira Diaz, an official Wellist Week Community Event. Heal House is a new community platform at the intersection of human health and environmental health. Because you cannot talk about wellness without talking about the world we live in.
NYC: The Creationship Launch Party @ Caravan of Dreams 4/15
The Creationship is the Caravan of Dreams' evolutionary center and makerspace for dreamers of all kinds who want to collectively build a brighter world. Come enjoy yummy organic food, elixirs, and great company to celebrate the launch! This night is for the doers and the dreamers - learn more & RSVP.
NYC: March for Cognitive Liberty 4/19
Join us to celebrate the human right to explore, expand, and heal consciousness with psychedelics in NYC! This Bicycle Day (4.19.26), march through Manhattan for Cognitive Liberty—supporting psychedelics and total sovereignty over our own minds.
We are your neighbors, colleagues, veterans, therapists, artists, scientists, parents, and teachers. The psychedelic movement should no longer be stigmatized or hidden. Join this joyful, colorful demonstration alongside Leonard Pickard, Congressional candidate Laura Dunn (NY-12), Dr. Julie Holland, and additional speakers TBA - RSVP.
SF: Spiral R-Evolution Climate Week 4/20
At SF Climate Week, PSYCA’s Isabel Santis, Spiral R-Evolution is creating space for a different kind of climate conversation: one that centers inner resilience, connection to nature, and the stories that shape what we believe is possible.
Through panels on climate psychology, plant medicines, and regenerative storytelling, alongside experiential workshops, the gathering invites participants to move beyond overwhelm and into grounded, meaningful action.
It’s a reminder that how we relate — to ourselves, each other, and the Earth — is inseparable from how we respond to the challenges ahead. Learn how you can support this work, browse the agenda, and RSVP.
NYC: Earth Night - E-Cology, Sammy Bananas, Lauren Ritter, Sister Zo, more 4/25
On Saturday, April 25th Dead Letter No.9 links with Parties4Peace, DJs for Climate Action, PSYCA, Converge and others for a global initiative turning nightlife into impact where dance floors double as spaces for connection, awareness, and action. Join us for Earth Night, part of a global series uniting communities across cities to celebrate, raise funds, and move climate action forward through music and culture. Lineup’s stacked - RSVP!
What to Read! “The Mycelian’s Handbook for Collective Repair”
PSYCA Member Mor Keshet has created a space for Creative Resilience. Not resilience as endurance - but as relationship. A return to the body as a site of knowing, creativity as a form of regulation, connection as a condition for healing.
This field guide is a 4-phase creative ritual for reconnecting, creating, and remembering you are not alone. This is not a guide to consume. It is a slow, experiential practice for reorienting how you relate - to yourself, to others, and to the living world (dive in).
What to Read! A. A. Rustom’s Bioverse

Save the Date! World Ayahuasca Forum: 9/11-13; Girona — 1 hour from Barcelona
The World Ayahuasca Forum responds to the urgent call of Indigenous Spiritual Leaders for a deep intercultural dialogue between ancestral and Western knowledge systems. In these times of unprecedented global crisis, safeguarding ancestral knowledge systems means protecting cultures and territories.
This gathering invites people from all corners of the world—in all their diversity: scientists, policymakers, Indigenous spiritual leaders and knowledge keepers, artists, facilitators, integrators, and participants; everyone with an interest in ayahuasca—to come together to share experiences, exchange knowledges, and build deep alliances.
In this spirit, we envision a living future—one in which biocultural traditions, ecosystems, and territories are safeguarded—healing our ways of being and our Living Earth: our Home. Learn more and get an advance ticket (PSYCA members will receive a discount code).
As always, thank you for reading and being part of this growing community. If you’d like to support this work, become a PSYCA member — we have some exciting opportunities ahead, including a chance to win free tickets to the World Ayahuasca Forum.
Gratefully, Marissa
