Episode 234 - Jacob Tell, District 216
Episode 234 is the 32nd episode of Season 4.
Today we're joined by Jacob Tell, founder and self-described Chief Dreamer of District216, a psychedelic social club based in Santa Barbara, California. District216 was created to bring people together through education, community and integration, offering regular gatherings, special events and an online membership for those interested in exploring psychedelics in a thoughtful and supportive environment. Before launching the club, Jacob built a career in marketing, live events and branding through his agency Oniracom while producing festivals, cannabis symposiums and other community-focused experiences.
We discuss how District216 grew from a single educational meetup into a thriving psychedelic community, the importance of integration and creating safe spaces for conversation, and Jacob's own experiences with ketamine-assisted therapy and ayahuasca. We also explore the changing public perception of psychedelics, the challenges of preparing enough qualified practitioners for a rapidly growing field and what's next for District216, including its return to the MAPS Psychedelic Science conference.
