Beyond the Journey - An Evening of Meditation in NoMad

Beyond the Journey is a space for those on a path of personal growth—whether through meditation, therapy, or psychedelic experiences—to slow down and return to the wisdom within. Grounded in Buddhist-inspired meditation and informed by the insights of psychedelic care, this gathering invites you to deepen your self-awareness, cultivate compassion, and connect with a like-minded community.

Over the course of the evening, we’ll move through:

• A short talk and intention-setting
• A guided meditation rooted in mindfulness or compassion practice
• Space for sharing and reflection
• A period of shared silence
• An optional tea hour to connect more casually with others

This is not a psychedelic event—no substances will be taken—but it is psychedelic-informed: shaped by the understanding that contemplative practice and altered states of consciousness often illuminate the same truths, and that community can be a powerful container for integrating those insights.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your meditation practice, integrate recent experiences, or simply take a breath from the rush of daily life, you’re warmly invited to join us.

Doors open at 7pm and the event begins at 7:15, because of the nature of the event there is no entry after 7:30 so please arrive on time.
