Just a group from Ventura who love to ride bikes, share about our psychedelic journeys, and sometimes microdose along the way. We keep it chill—slow to medium pace, beachy routes, Ojai trail rides, and good convos.

No competition, no pressure—just movement, nature, connection, and a little magic.

About your host: Maria facilitates the Ventura & Santa Barbara Psychedelic Integration Circles, offering monthly gatherings for reflection, connection, and support. She holds degrees in Holistic Health, Philosophy, Communications, and Psychology, and is certified in Psychedelic Therapies and Integration. Maria is passionate about creating spaces that feel welcoming, casual, uplifting, and educational. Come as you are—we’re excited to ride and vibe with you!
