Trade Room Talks: Unstuck: Psychedelic Perspectives with JourneyŌM

6:00PM

Join us on Tuesday, August 12 from 7p-9p by mingling with familiar and new faces in the Trade Room at The Junto- a gorgeous new hotel just west of downtown in Franklinton, across from Cosi. Centered around the idea of coming together, The Junto welcomes all for this special series. There will be snacks and drinks available, lots of cozy seating and even a little outdoor space to hang out in.

Hosted by our Lifestyle Curator, Ariana Lindenfelser.

 

Why do so many high-functioning people feel stuck even when they’ve “done everything right”? What does it mean to reclaim purpose, creativity, or meaning when traditional solutions haven’t worked?

Join JourneyŌM co-founders Nico and Susan for a candid, curious conversation about the promise and limitations of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Drawing from their national network of vetted guides and hundreds of seeker stories, they’ll explore how psychedelics are transforming lives—from healing trauma to sparking midlife reinvention.Expect a real, respectful dialogue on what’s happening in the psychedelic space today—who it’s for, what it requires, and why the conversation is just beginning.

Come with an open heart and your questions, leave with insight.

Nico Simon

Nico Simon is a dedicated advocate for psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) and a skilled concierge professional with a background in information technology. After a successful 25-year career in IT and overcoming personal struggles with complex PTSD, major depression, and panic attacks, Nico discovered the life-changing potential of PAT in 2019. This led him and his wife Susan, with whom he shares a 30-year marriage and two adult children, to found JourneyŌM, a concierge service focused on connecting PAT seekers with vetted facilitators. Their mission is driven by a commitment to harm reduction and high standards in healing practices, reflecting their vast experience in networking and concierge services, including their involvement in creating the American Express Platinum Concierge program.

Susan Simon

Susan Simon’s journey is rooted in movement-based artistry and personal healing practices that started at a young age in Columbus, Ohio! Her path led her to establish her own pilates & yoga studio, where she provided one-on-one guidance to individuals seeking physical and emotional healing through movement. As a witness to Nico’s transformational journey in the healing space, Susan recognized the need for a support system for allies to seekers. Her commitment to fostering resilience and understanding among allies is a cornerstone of JourneyŌM ‘s mission.
