Charley Wininger returns to Adventures Through The Mind to discuss How To Host An MDMA Group Roll
Our discussions starts with a quick general overview of MDMA before shifting into a thorough exploration of group rolls—what they are, what they can offer us individually and collectively, who to invite, who not to invite, where to do it, what to include, what to exclude, safety protocols, and just a whole number of things.
Enjoy!
