Plant Parenthood is a community organization focused on the intersection of modern parenting and the intentional use of psychedelics and plant medicines. Our in person integration circle is a safe space for our community to gather, connect with other parents, share experiences, knowledge, insights and provide gentle accountability for our peers.
Plant Parenthood is a growing community of parents, caregivers, and families who are curious about raising children with intention, connection, and care—for ourselves, each other, and future generations.
This gathering is an invitation for families and their children to come together to build a warm, welcoming, and supportive space. We believe meaningful relationships grow through shared experiences, open conversations, and genuine connection. Our gatherings offer space for parents and caregivers to support one another, exchange ideas, and feel less alone in the joys and challenges of family life.
Plant Parenthood also holds space for thoughtful, grounded conversations around psychedelics and parenting—approaching these topics through the lenses of education, harm reduction, integration, and community care. While this is a family-centered event and no substances are present or used, we recognize that many parents are navigating questions around healing, mental health, and consciousness, and benefit from peer connection and informed dialogue.
Children are welcome to play, explore, and build friendships of their own, while adults foster bonds that strengthen their sense of belonging. Whether you’re seeking peer support, new friendships, or a deeper connection with others who value conscious and connected parenting, we invite you to join us.
Weather-dependent activities:
Snowy weather: tobogganing and winter play
Mild weather: playground exploration and outdoor activities
Inclement weather: we’ll gather in the greenhouse for cozy, engaging activities
Come find a place in our community where you and your family can feel seen, supported, and connected.
