Please join our hosts Survivorship Collective—a non-profit group focused on providing access to safe and legal psychedelic-assisted therapy for cancer survivors—for an experiential journey of sound, meditation and breathwork facilitated by Esalen faculty member, Marisa Radha Weppner, MA, SEP. Radha’s highly popular Esalen workshop "Journey Space: Music, Movement & Ceremony" is a multi-day journey through sound, ceremony, and self-discovery. For this event, Radha will provide a glimpse of the healing modalities she employs at Esalen to open inner pathways to fortitude and healing. After a guided meditation, Radha will speak in conversation with cancer survivors Anne Hamilton and Amy Slonaker, co-founders of the non-profit group Survivorship Collective, about somatic healing practices and their relation to the field of cancer survivorship.

Marisa Radha Weppner (Radha) is driven by a desire to understand what it means to be human, the nature of reality and what is God. Her classes aim to create a state of union within oneself for a felt sense of the ineffable. She will help you turn knowledge into wisdom by cultivating an embodied Self and a tangible sense of the deepest Truths of existence. Radha is the host of the podcast Love, Service, Wisdom, is a Nosara Yoga Master Educator and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in training. She has been facilitating transformation and self-awakening for over 2 decades through a variety of settings including classes, retreats, community organizing, guiding psychedelic journeys, and private coaching. She is a faculty member of Esalen Institute, a longtime studio owner, and a therapist at Boise Ketamine Clinic.
Anne Hamilton is the founder and executive director of the Survivorship Collective, the first nonprofit connecting the cancer community to safe, legal, psychedelic-assisted therapies. After surviving advanced-stage cancer as a young adult, she became an advocate for better mental and spiritual care for cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones. Hamilton is a former litigator, 9th Circuit clerk, and a current member of the Psychedelic Bar Association. She has worked in government, with nonprofits, and in higher education as a professor at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. She is a 2025 Mira Fellow and a certified mediator, holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, a master's degree in philosophy from Stanford University, and is a graduate of Notre Dame and the American Film institute. She lives in Los Angeles.
Amy Slonaker, J.D. Ph.D., is a board member and co-founder of Survivorship Collective. She is also a long-time supporter and contributor to Morbid Anatomy. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast-to-bone cancer in 2017, Amy set aside her law career on Wall Street to pursue a Ph.D. in Mythological Studies with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. Starting in the fall of 2025, Amy will teach at Pacifica Graduate Institute’s new MA/PhD program “Psychology, Religion & Consciousness.”
