This month is gonna be a hoot.

Speaker: Alanna Collins, co-founder of Truth is One, a Blue Ridge Mountains interfaith church, and a facilitator trained and initiated in the Santo Daime and Umbandaime traditions of Brazil. A nurse practitioner as well as a ceremonial facilitator, she has stood in both the clinical and the traditional worlds, and she brings that dual perspective to a grounded conversation about what these traditions hold, what integration really asks of a person, and how any of it meets the reality of addiction and recovery in Appalachia.

The Archive Keeps Growing

​

  • Past gatherings have covered the policy landscape shaping Appalachia's frontier, addiction and ibogaine with Jessica Allen, veterans finding their way through psychedelic-assisted therapy, faith and healing in rural communities with Hunt Priest and Dr. Carrie Griffin, and the at-risk plants disappearing before science catches up with Susan Leopold of United Plant Savers. Seven town halls in, and the conversation keeps getting deeper.
