Upcoming Events

A rare opportunity to learn from Paul Daley, protégé of Sasha Shulgin, in an intimate session on pioneering psychedelic chemistry.
This is a 3-part online series taking place throughout 2026. This first class will begin with a history sketch for 30-45 min followed by sections on the main methods for synthesis of each compound class.

This class will cover phenethylamines. The next two sessions will address the chemistry of lysergamides and tryptamines. You can attend all three classes or choose to join just one.

Tickets for this event are available at three tiers: basic admission for $25, supporter for $40, and abundant for $60, with all proceeds supporting the ongoing maintenance and preservation of Shulgin Farm, a historic hub for psychedelic chemistry and innovation. In the spirit of accessibility, no one will be turned away for lack of funds (NOTAFLOF).

Join us online for an intimate conversation to learn directly from those who shaped the movement’s foundations.

Come join Maria Mangini of The Shulgin Foundation for a live, virtual interview with Sam Stern from Voices of Esalen.

Much of psychedelic history has been erased, forgotten, or never formally recorded — clandestine out of necessity. This series focuses on capturing the history of the missing decades of underground practice and recognition of the mentors and elders who have carried this wisdom forward.

This conversation invites those newer to the field - especially aspiring therapists, guides, researchers, and community leaders - to learn directly from those who shaped the movement’s foundations. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to actualize our revelations about interconnectedness - not only in theory, but in how we live, heal, and serve.

This conversation will include a Q&A portion at the end.

Mariavittoria Mangini, PhD, FNP has written extensively on the impact of psychedelic experiences in shaping the lives of her contemporaries, and has worked closely with many of the most distinguished investigators in this field. In 2007, she co-founded the Women’s Visionary Council, a nonprofit organization that supports investigations into non-ordinary forms of consciousness and organizes gatherings of researchers, healers, artists, and activists whose work explores these states. She is a member of the Shulgin Foundation board of directors, and a Visiting Scholar at the Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics. For the last 50 years, she has been a part of the Hog Farm, a well-known communal family based in Berkeley and in Laytonville, California.

Sam Stern (he/him) is a Senior Content Creator at Esalen and host of the million-download podcast Voices of Esalen, where he’s interviewed voices shaping psychology, spirituality, and culture, including Sonya Renee Taylor, Michael Pollan, Bayo Akomolafe, and Stanislav Grof. A dedicated historian of Esalen and of the human potential movement, Sam’s multimedia lectures on the history of altered states, the rise of the New Age, and Esalen’s global impact have reached wide audiences across disciplines. At Esalen, he frequently teaches on human-centered AI, guiding others to approach emergent technologies with curiosity, critical thinking, and play.

An online, experiential workshop led by Jane Garnett designed to support emotional regulation, self-nurture, and embodied joy through a structured journey.

This is an online experiential EMDR-informed (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) workshop designed to support emotional regulation, self-nurture, and embodied joy through a structured archetypal journey. Drawing from bilateral stimulation, somatic psychology, and guided movement, participants explore four core archetypes — Shadow, Child, Lovers, and World — to identify blocks, activate inner resources, and restore a felt sense of aliveness. No prior EMDR or movement experience is required.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation—such as tapping or rhythmic movement—to help the brain unstick stored emotional material and re-establish flow. When experiences are held in the nervous system without resolution, they often show up as tension, shutdown, or repeating patterns. Gentle EMDR resourcing helps regulate the system, reduce emotional charge, and reopen access to internal support. In this workshop, EMDR techniques are used in a simple, non-clinical way to facilitate emotional unblocking, grounding, and renewed capacity for joy.

The session begins with grounding resourcing to establish safety. From there:

• Participants move through tapping and movement practices that help metabolize tension, re-engage curiosity, and access the body’s natural appetite for pleasure and connection.
• The experience culminates in a heart-centered integration practice that consolidates learning and anchors positive affect.

Tickets for this event are available at three tiers: basic admission for $25, supporter for $40, and abundant for $60, with all proceeds supporting the ongoing maintenance and preservation of Shulgin Farm, a historic hub for psychedelic chemistry and innovation.

For the past 18 years, Jane Garnett has maintained a private practice between Venice, CA, and Ojai, CA, guiding individuals and couples into increased heart intelligence and connection through talk therapy, EMDR, and psychedelic preparation and integration. Her approach is both scientific and intuitive, always highly customized to support each person’s highest potential.
