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: "Sex Magic & Psychedelics: Ancient Tools for Modern Transformation"
Description: Long before psychedelics entered the cultural conversation, Taoist and Tantric practitioners were cultivating sexual energy to reach states of awakening and deep transformation. This evening brings that lineage into the room alongside modern science.
Dr. Willow Brown guides us through the parallels between psychedelic exploration and sexual alchemy: how both can loosen armor in the nervous system, release emotion held in the body, and open states of presence and perception most people rarely meet.
You will explore:
The shared territory of psychedelics and sacred sexuality, from ancient practice to current research
How the nervous system holds tension, and how pleasure and somatic practice can invite it to soften
Your body as a vehicle for expanded consciousness
A practical map for working with pleasure, sex magic, and embodiment as tools for personal growth
Two of the most misunderstood areas of human experience, sexuality and psychedelics, get an honest, grounded, judgment-free conversation here. Come with questions. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
When: Wednesday, November 18, 2026 from 5pm to 9pm (Speaker at 6:30pm)
Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
(Please only park across the street on the Office Max side of the lot.)
Members are Free to attend The District House evenings, and are prioritized when we reach capacity.
Guests Welcome to purchase $25 tickets to The District House evenings.
Note: We will be filming the speaker for the District216 Change Your Lens Series. Refreshments provided.
