This community gathering invites people in recovery who are interested in, or currently integrating psychedelics into their healing practice. We will discuss how psychedelics impact addictive behaviors and risks of relapse.  We will explore relationships with altered states of consciousness, sobriety vs moderation, various recovery models, and systemic pressures leading to overconsumption and addictive tendencies.   The purpose of the gathering is to be in dialogue about these topics and how they impact our relationship to self, others, substances and altered states.

While we’re not requiring everyone to be sober or abstinent from all substances, we do ask that everyone attending the meeting not be engaging with whatever substance that triggers the addictive behavior.  Our intention for this monthly gathering is for everyone to have a confidential and safe space where people are able to self manage and discuss openly.  This group offers support for people who already have an active healing process around their addiction and are looking for a community to share it with and get support from.

This group is offered to the community in collaboration with Portland Psychedelic Society https://www.meetup.com/psychedelic/events/299239325/

Daisy Posada Draine is a co-facilitator of this group, and single mom of two youths. Her older son has ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and her advocacy, love, and care for him brings her to the work that she does today- Peer Support. Daisy is a Family Support Specialist (professional name for family peer) at Oregon Family Support Network (OFSN). Daisy supports families- moms, dads, and caretakers with children and youth with mental health struggles and developmental disabilities; as they navigate complex and difficult systems to receive care for their children. The reason she does peer support work is because it’s rooted in relational wisdom and presence and her lived experience helps others in their own lives and struggles.  Daisy also believes in the power of the people and has spent much of her life organizing and supporting her community to make their lives better. She believes all organizing should be rooted in building relationships and caring for one another and the collective.  Daisy understands deeply that her healing is connected to all beings that she comes into contact with.  She aligns with one of the principles of Recovery’s Remedy, being in right relationship with all things we do, take, and are in contact with. Daisy practices being in right relationship in her daily life and helps hold the container for this group and the Recovery’s Remedy Group.
