NYC: Day of Climate Action + PSYCA Podcast Discussion, Tonight 10/28
Dear friends and colleagues,
A friendly reminder for our most engaged readers: thank you for showing up for this community again and again. Tonight is a chance to help shape what comes next.
Over the past few years, Psychedelics for Climate Action (PSYCA) has hosted many events, talks, and panels that help our community take action. Now we’d like to go deeper with a pilot podcast season, interviewing key people and exploring these topics in more depth, in keeping with our mission to raise and expand consciousness and discover pathways through the crisis.
Tonight, join us and our friends at Good Standing for the NYC Climate Day of Action, hosted by NYC2030, where 9 organizations come together. It was originally planned for Climate Week and rescheduled because of the rain. I’ll facilitate a discussion on a possible podcast model that bridges conversation and action: who to bring on as guests at the intersection of psychedelics and climate, and how we might use the Good Standing platform to track the actions their recommendations inspire. Come share your feedback on our initial ideas and offer any suggestions.
Wednesday, Oct 28, 5-8pm
The Classroom at Wagner Park Pavilion, Battery Park City, NYC
