Psychedelics in Paradise: an Aloha Activation

Join us at Wailea Healing Center for an evening dedicated to awakening, connection, and the shared evolution of psychedelic practice in Hawai’i. This gathering invites you to meet a community of fellow explorers, practitioners, and visionaries while rediscovering the frontier of psychedelic research, clinical care, and microdosing wisdom.

We begin with a community networking activation, followed by brief transmissions from each speaker and an interactive Q&A to deepen your understanding. Afterward, linger in connection and expand your mycelial network with other forward-thinking professionals walking a path of healing service.

This event is designed for clinicians, facilitators, coaches, wellness practitioners, researchers, and anyone feeling called to explore psychedelic therapy, neuroscience, or microdosing. If you’re ready to grow, learn, and align your work with the future of this field, this space is for you.

This event is for anyone feeling called to:

• Explore the therapeutic and spiritual potential of psychedelics

• Understand the science behind these medicines in an accessible way

• Learn about microdosing, facilitator training, harm reduction, and safe practices

• Connect with others walking a path of healing, service, or personal transformation

• Discover training pathways or simply expand your awareness

What You Will Learn

• How microdosing and intentional low-dose work can support growth, healing, productivity and creativity

• Evidence-based approaches for safety, preparation, and support

• Training and educational opportunities for those who want to deepen their journey

Why We Are Hosting this Event

This gathering was born from Danielle Nova’s recent move to Maui. We envision a clear need for grounded psychedelic education and community building on the island. As interest in these sacred molecules continues to rise worldwide, so does the importance of creating spaces where people can learn safely, connect authentically, and feel held by a knowledgeable community.

We’re here to help weave a strong, heart-centered network of people who are actively curious about psychedelics. By bringing this important education to Maui, we aim to reduce harm, build an aligned community, increase awareness, and offer guidance rooted in ethics, science, and spirit.

At the same time, we are living in a global resurgence of psychedelic research, cultural remembering, and policy change. With new studies emerging every month and public interest growing rapidly, it’s essential that communities have access to accurate information, grounded mentorship, and supportive spaces to explore these practices responsibly.

Our intention is to cultivate a local community that feels empowered, informed, and connected. We look forward to meeting you and weaving a mycelial family growing together in wisdom, integrity, reverence, and aloha.

The Benefits of This Network and Community: By attending, you'll become part of a vibrant, growing community of professionals and wellness providers dedicated to advancing the responsible use of psychedelics. Network with experienced practitioners and emerging leaders in the field, learn about training resources for continued education, foster collaboration, and cultivate relationships that will support your persoal and professional journey.
