La Finka

La Finka cultivates creativity and innovation in Reno by fostering community through art, technology, and sustainable practices. We host events, workshops, and talks to empower local voices and build a hub for experimentation and connection.

RIPE IDEAS is a community talk series hosted at La Finka. We gather builders, artists, technologists, growers, and curious minds to share what they&rsquo;re working on, what they&rsquo;re questioning, and what they&rsquo;re learning in real time. It is part salon, part workshop, part living room experiment. The goal is simple: circulate ideas locally and strengthen the creative fabric of Reno. ~~~ Psychedelic Panel On Mental Health &amp; Brain HealingThe ins and out of the science behind psychedelics as therapeutics, with Q &amp; A.
