What is Connection? What is Love? What is Sweetness?
Imagine a table set with cups of hot cacao, its rich aroma mingling with the faint whispers of nature and the warm hum of community around you. At the center of the table lies a small bowl holding a mystery—an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities within yourself and your connections to the world.
You take a sip of the cacao and feel a warmth spread through you, preparing you for the journey ahead. The slight nervousness of stepping into the unknown gives way to wonder as you lean into the experience. Surrounded by a circle of fellow explorers, you find yourself embraced by curiosity, love, and connection.

A Day of Connection
Welcome, dear traveler. Thank you for your curiosity in exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness. Through the gentle guidance of mushrooms and the sacred warmth of ceremonial chocolate, we will explore what it means to live fully in connection—with ourselves, with one another, and with the present moment.
Mushrooms and Chocolate is an opportunity to lean into love, connection, and discovery. The journey is yours to design, and Safe Space Colorado is here to offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for your exploration.
This event is open to all, with no requirement to partake in the medicine. Whether you choose to participate or simply join the circle to hold space, you are welcome here.
We are the medicine.

Facilitators
Ben Johnson
Founder & Director of Experiences
As a Colorado native and wilderness guide for 26 years, Ben is no stranger to encountering the unknown and finding ways to create a sense of safety and mental preparedness. He grew up exploring the vast open spaces of Colorado and continued that passion as a rock climbing and mountain bike guide, helping others push their boundaries. Some of the most profound and enlightening experiences of his lifetime have come from experiences in the outdoors as well as the inner landscape through the power of non-ordinary states of consciousness. He believes it’s essential to understand the ways in which the wilderness and non-ordinary states are interrelated. He would love to support you in being brave to confront the obstacles in your life to create the change you’re capable of.
