About event

A thoughtfully created space designed for men, to embrace genuine connection and personal growth

Are you seeking a space to connect deeply, share authentically, and explore your true self?

Many men struggle with expressing their emotions and being fully present in their lives, often feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by the demands of the mind.

This men’s circle offers a unique opportunity to explore who you are in a supportive and empowering environment with other like-minded men.


Introducing our Men's Circle

You are invited to our monthly Kanna-Supported Men's Circle—a thoughtfully created space designed for genuine connection and personal growth. Hosted by Odin Pepper and supported by one of our allies from the plant kingdom Kanna, we create the conditions for emotional presence, clarity, and vulnerability.

Kanna is an ancient teacher plant from South Africa. It acts as a gentle ally, helping to calm the nervous system, quiet the busy mind, and open the heart, allowing you to explore your true self and connect with others in a deeper, more authentic way.


What to Expect

In this circle, you’ll:

Settle more deeply into your body through mindful practices and gentle breathwork

Share openly and listen attentively in a safe, non-judgmental space

Explore key themes such as:

Feeling and expressing your emotions

Navigating love, intimacy, and relationships

Speaking your truth

Exploring career, purpose, and friendship dynamics


Tell me more about Kanna...

Kanna is an ancient teacher plant from South Africa. It supports a state of balance, helping you release mental chatter and become more attuned to your emotions. This allows for a genuine experience of connection, both with yourself and the other men in the circle. It's about embracing vulnerability, cultivating emotional awareness, and sharing from a place of authenticity.

Kanna is not a psychedelic, quite the contrary. It brings out our innate sense of joy, connection and belonging without taking you on a trippy journey.

Please Note:

Kanna is not recommended for those who are taking antidepressants (SSRIs and MAO inhibitors) and/or 5-HTP supplements, or have severe heart conditions or high blood pressure. You are welcome to join this circle with or without the m!crodose.


Meet Odin, Facilitator of the Men's Circle

I’m Odin, a certified psychedelic facilitator and trauma-informed practitioner with foundational training as a Hakomi therapist—a somatic mindfulness-based psychotherapy modality. With years of experience in holding circles and guiding mindful exploration, I create safe, intentional spaces where individuals can connect deeply with themselves and others.

At When Nature Calls, I offer Kanna-supported somatic meditations every other week and a monthly men’s circle centered on mindful connection and self-discovery, held with the gentle support of Kanna. My approach emphasizes presence, somatic awareness, and the unique insights that arise in community settings.

I look forward to welcoming all parts of you into these circles, where you can explore the power of mindfulness, community, and the gentle guidance of Kanna.
