Come join the Denver Mushroom Cooperative for this unique community gathering, "There is So Mushroom for All of Us", taking place on Friday, February 16th at the Cocoa Club. This event focuses on providing education, empowerment, and promoting the legal access to psilocybin mushrooms in a non-commercial atmosphere, devoid of monetary transactions. Please RSVP for this free 21+ event and remember to bring a valid ID and sign a waiver upon entrance.

Event is broken into two time slots for receivers:
Receiver’s RSVP: Time Slot One - 6-7:30 (SOLD OUT)
Receiver’s RSVP: Time Slot Two - 7:30-9 (FEW SPOTS LEFT)

Gifter’s RSVP is for the full evening (6-9). If you are interested in sharing medicine at this event and have questions please reach out to micromondays@protonmail.com (Email subject: "Gifter Inquiry | Carbondale Portal"). (FEW SPOTS LEFT)

Since the passing of Proposition 122 in Colorado, ARPC has been watching a unique and emerging phenomenon. This legislation permits personal cultivation of mushrooms within specific dimensions, leading to successful cultivation and sharing of abundance. As a result, the gift portal concept emerged as a community-led initiative that focuses on education, empowerment, and promoting legal access to psilocybin mushrooms. To enter, participants must provide a waiver and valid ID. Receivers at the event receive a copy of "Psilocybin 101: A Beginner's Guide To Magic Mushrooms." The event prioritizes a non-commercial atmosphere, devoid of business advertisements or monetary transactions. Professionals from various fields, including medical, healthcare, spiritual, and therapeutic communities, are encouraged to participate in supporting the community at these events.

Please join us for an evening with Travis Tyler Fluck, an educator, end-of-life doula, and psychedelic activist. With 29 years of experience working with psilocybin mushrooms and a lifetime exploring liminal spaces, Travis brings profound insights to healing potential. From leading the Denver Psilocybin Initiative to co-founding the Denver Mushroom Cooperative, his impact reaches far and wide. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from an award winning and renowned cultivator.

Cannabis is a psychedelic and when held in a particular set and setting with an experienced guide it can encourage profound healing shifts. Join us in ceremony with Brooks Barron at The Launchpad in Carbondale, CO Friday, July 14th from 6p-10p. Method: Vaporizers. Participation upon liability form and $50-$100 contribution on site.

Brooks Barron, local to Carbondale, combines leadership coaching, wilderness guiding, and psychedelic guiding as founder of Starlight Leadership. He helps impact-driven leaders come fully alive and make their best contribution to the world from a place of alignment, presence and peace. Brooks typically supports leaders at a threshold moment in their lives — i.e. reached traditional success but craving something deeper, facing burnout/misalignment, and/or called to build a more beautiful world. His work builds a bridge between the practical and the mystical, connecting the healing, inspiration, and empowerment of altered states with an embodied awareness of one's unique gifts, and the opportunity to live a profoundly impactful and purposeful life.  

Brooks has been working with cannabis as a psychedelic since 2021 and has found it to be one of the most potent and effective psychedelic medicines out there. He is credentialed as a Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Guide by The Center for Medicinal Mindfulness, certified as a 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership Coach by the Conscious Leadership Group, and has apprenticed as a vision quest guide with Animas Valley Institute. He holds an MBA/MS from Stanford.

Legal, affordable, and accessible, cannabis is a psychedelic!, and can be used as a mind-revealing medicine. This will be a deep dive into how to optimize your psychedelic cannabis experience and how your ceremonial and healing use might differ from recreational or casual social use.
