Psychedelic Integration Support Group -July

Psychedelic Integration Support Group

Are you looking to process a psychedelic experience that impacted your life? Do you wonder if your altered state experience was normal? Are you wondering if psychedelic integration is right for you? Maybe you are simply interested in hearing from others who have explored altered states of consciousness?

Psychedelic integration is the process of taking themes, stories, and messages from substance induced altered states of consciousness and putting them in context to one's life journey. Integration can take many forms from art to music to storytelling. By creating and sharing a narrative around these profound experience, we create new neurons and opportunity to makes changes to our perspectives and lives

Join us as we create a container to process and discuss all kinds of psychedelic experiences. Peer support facilitators provide a safe space to share your experiences, insights, and questions with a community of like-minded individuals.

Our circle is facilitated by experienced coaches who will help you navigate any challenges or uncertainties that may arise during the sharing process. We know a safe container is the best way to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, and help integrate our psychedelic experiences into our daily lives in a more meaningful way.

*Due to the sensitive nature of integration circles, NO RECORDING is available. 

**Please try to be on time as you may not be able to get in after our icebreaker because we are busy or we are waiting until a sensetive share is over.

Integration Circle Rules

After our ICE-BREAKER, we will open up the circle 1st to people who would like to integrate a specific experience. Shares are given up to 5 min. We will then ask if the person would like to receive reflections. If desired, we will open the floor for 2-3 reflections. At that point we will then move to the next share.

If no one feels called to share a personal experience we will open the circle to questions and general conversations. Please limit shared times to allow responses.

We are also going to ask everyone to:

- Speak from personal perspective

- No Advice Giving. Use 'I' statements.

- Bring an open mind

- Confidentiality “what happens in Zoom, stays in Zoom”

- No Recording of ANY kind

- Silence all electronic devices

- Avoid distractive behavior: eating, multitasking, driving

- Mute mic when not talking

- avoid crosstalk

- Participation! We request that everyone participates on some level. That can look like: just turning on your camera, or participating in the check in verbally or via the chat. This is for the comfort of the group and everyone who is showing up and sharing vulnerably.

- No Solicitation of Substances or Promotion of Retreats (see disclaimer) please avoid naming specific guides or retreats

- No showing stash picks or substances on camera
