Upcoming Events
Psychedelics 101
Wednesday, Feb 18th
Webinar at 7:00 PM
Location: Zoom
Cost: FREE
TRiPS presents Psychedelics 101, a virtual 3-part series centered on education and harm reduction.
There’s so much information about psychedelics floating around from many perspectives. Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s true, and even more so - what’s true for you!
TRiPS will share educational information based on evidence based research and lived experience so that whatever you may choose to do with your life, you are at the very least informed of the benefits and consequences.
We offer a trauma-informed and social-emotional learning lens.
You are invited to join us on February 18th from 7:00-8:30 PM ET for a truly engaging Zoom room.
We invite those 18+ to join us, whether you are curious, new to psychedelics, or a self proclaimed psychonaut.
This will be a closed zoom room, so please be on time.
TRiPS neither condones nor condemns drug use. This event is for education purposes only.
Tales of the Trip: Psychedelic Storytelling & Potluck
Saturday, Feb 28th
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Sacred Social House - 3265 W Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
Cost: FREE
Join us on February 28th from 6–9 PM at Sacred Social House for a cozy, heart-centered gathering rooted in storytelling and community.
We’ll begin with a community potluck—bring a dish, drink, or dessert to share. You can let us know what you plan to bring when you register. After we eat, we’ll settle into a relaxed, welcoming circle to share stories—moments of insight, transformation, humor, or curiosity from a “trip” you’ve experienced.
Sharing is completely optional; listening is just as welcome. This is a confidential, judgment-free space designed for openness, respect, and genuine connection. Additional event details will be shared after registration.
This event is free and open to guests 18+.
Come as you are. Bring your story—or simply your presence. We can’t wait to gather with you.
