The District House is a weekly gathering and core benefit of District216. Guests are welcome to arrive for part or all of the evening to meet community members, connect with visiting speakers, and engage in thoughtful conversations across psychedelics, wellness, creativity, and conscious culture. 💜
Topic: "The Alchemist of Tears"
Description: Adam Butler joins The District House with The Alchemist of Tears, a conversation about psychedelics, mental health, and suicide prevention. He explores how psychedelics and other modalities can foster transformational self-knowledge, self-love, and self-respect. Adam shares his own path from overwork, stress, and alcoholism to balance, health, and sobriety, shaped by deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practice. Arriving in the holiday season, when this message may be needed most, the evening opens into a conversation with the community.
When: Wednesday, December 9, 2026 from 5pm to 9pm (Speaker at 6:30pm)
Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

SPEAKER BIO
Speaker: Adam Butler | Author, Psychedelic Philosopher
Adam Butler is a psychedelic philosopher focused on mental health, neuroplasticity, self-exploration, and the extreme limits of human potential and ability. Combining an academically trained intellect, an empathetic heart, and life-hardening experiences, Adam has found his niche in helping others overcome the fear associated with PTSD, depression, sexual repression, and addiction. By pairing psychedelic compounds with deep meditation, lucid dreaming, and tantric practices, he transformed from an overworked, overweight, stressed-out alcoholic into a balanced, healthy, and sober friend and mentor to many. He is the author of Butler’s DMT Field Guide, Butler’s Psychedelic Integration Field Guide, and The Alchemist of Tears, with several more books on the way.
