  • Breakfast with(out) the CEO

    Kimpton Schofield Hotel 2000 E 9th St, Cleveland, OH, United States

    Open to EO Members Our very own Kirk Zehnder started something last year that made an impact on our chapter: He invited members to a breakfast with a prominent CEO on April 1 ... only to uncover at the event that it was an April Fool’s joke and that the real objective was a time of deep sharing among members. The event proved valuable to all in attendance. We won’t deceive you this year: Come for breakfast and let’s expand the Forum experience to a larger group – with the full assurance of confidentiality. And it’s the holidays! Break away for a morning with EO! REGISTER TODAY

He will share his in-depth knowledge of psychedelics, the most powerful tools available to embrace our true nature. We’re at a crossroads in humanity with a new pandemic of mental health issues upon us. Stepping outside the human experience is EXACTLY what is needed and why these tools have reappeared. Mark will end by engaging the group in a holotropic breathwork exercise.
