Dear SPS Family!


As we welcome in April, we extend our sincerest gratitude to our community for showing their support in countless ways. Whether that was attending Breath of Fire with Randy Gates, attending our Third Friday Event with Jodi Hubbell, LMT, offering your generous donations at our integration circles, or all of the above - each act of kindness, generosity, and support continue to grow and strengthen our incredible community.


Your engagement and enthusiasm are fueling real change as we head into the 3rd month of this year's legislative session. With two separate bills underway, momentum is most certainly building. We would like to take a special moment to celebrate everyone who came out in support of the AB378 Hearing in Carson City! Your presence made a powerful and lasting impact on the Health and Human Services Committee, and we cannot thank you enough for your enduring support and advocacy of these life-saving initiatives.

We are excited to see the continued advancement of psychedelic policy reform in our state, and we will keep you updated when we have the specifics on forthcoming legislation!


Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up this month—scroll down for more details on integration circles, event information, and registration links!





Are you interested in attending the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference? As community partners for PS2025, be sure to use our discount code: SPS15 when registering for a 20% discount at checkout. Scroll for more details!


As always, thank you for your dedication and commitment to our shared mission of healing, wellness, and the beautiful expansion of our community.

Blessings for Rachel


Help Her Heal from Cancer


Following message shared by Brian Broom-Peltz via their GoFundMe:


"We’re reaching out with an urgent call to support our beloved friend Rachel, who has just received a shocking cancer diagnosis. The news is sudden—for her and for all of us. Though further tests are ongoing, it’s clear the cancer is advanced and has reached multiple parts of her body.


More details will follow in the coming days (updates will be posted here), but one thing is clear: Rachel needs our help now.


WHO RACHEL IS

Rachel is our angel—someone who has dedicated her life to healing others. She is a true medicine woman, a powerful guide, and a radiant light in this world. She has supported so many on their journeys of awakening, grief, transformation, and renewal.


Now, it is our opportunity—and our honor—to support her on hers. As Rachel navigates this intense period of healing, let’s help her rest, restore, and RECEIVE.


WHY YOUR HELP MATTERS

Rachel has medical insurance, but many of the healing modalities and treatments she needs are not covered.


As she steps away from her work to focus on healing, she’ll also need help covering basic living expenses like rent and utility bills, so she can stay in her peaceful retreat home and rest without financial strain.


Your support will help cover:

• Out-of-pocket cancer treatments

• Holistic and integrative therapies

• Rent, bills, and essential living expenses

• Travel to specialists or healing retreats

• Wholistic healing guidance and support


Even a small donation—$10, $25, $50—can make a meaningful difference.


Let’s soften this moment for her and Benjamin in every way we can. Let’s offer the monetary support needed for her to remain in her beautiful retreat space during the challenging months ahead.


This is a time for her to step back from work and focus entirely on healing.


Donate to Rachel's GoFundMe here.


A SPACE THAT HEALS

Let’s thank Rachel for the ways she has brought this community together—with her heart and her home. She created a sacred space for us to gather. Now, that space must become her sanctuary.


HOW YOU CAN HELP

1. Donate what you can — every dollar helps.

2. Share this fundraiser with a personal message on social media or by email.

3. Invite others to give and spread the word in your community.

4. Check back for updates—we’ll post photos and progress as Rachel begins her healing journey.

5. Leave a message of support. Rachel will be reading them.


PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

Your generosity and love mean the world to Rachel—and to all of us who care about her. Let’s come together now in the way Rachel has always done for us.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you!"
