Uncovery: An Exploration of Substance Use Patterns

​Uncovery: An Exploration of Substance Use Patterns

​A facilitator led group session that reframes the recovery narrative through sound, movement, breath, and group discussion. So-called "addiction" is vastly misunderstood and often forces a narrow and pathologizing way of viewing patterns with substance use.

​This group aims to open a channel of curiosity, experimentation, and radical compassion so that we can begin to understand what our needs and wants are underneath our substance use.

​Led By: Juliana Mulligan & Eve Simonsen

​Juliana Mulligan, LMSW, is a psychotherapist who is formerly opioid dependent, formerly incarcerated, and has been working in the ibogaine treatment community for twelve years. In 2011, with the help of ibogaine treatment, Juliana left opioids behind and set off on a path to transform the way drug users and their treatment is approached.

​She has worked in multiple ibogaine clinics, was the Psychedelic Program Coordinator at the Center for Optimal Living, and was a consultant for the Kentucky Ibogaine Initiative. She currently runs Inner Vision Ibogaine, which supports clients in preparation and integration around ibogaine treatment and offers consulting services for those wishing to approach ibogaine through their projects.

​She is also the founder of Idryma, the first ibogaine treatment training and certification program. Juliana has presented at psychedelic and harm reduction conferences, is the author of the Guide to Finding a Safe Ibogaine Clinic, and co-author of Fireside’s Warning Signs When Selecting a Psychedelic Facilitator.

​She has taught about ibogaine at Charite University in Berlin and Southwestern College in New Mexico and has written for multiple publications about ibogaine, including Double Blind Magazine and Chacruna. Her quotes have been featured in the New York Times, Rolling Stone Magazine, National Geographic, and most recently she was mentioned on the Joe Rogan podcast. Her focus on abuse and ethics in the ibogaine treatment space has also led to her survivor advocacy and client support work with GITA and the Shine Collective.
