Groups

Here is a list of preparation, integration and professional consultation groups offered by our network providers.

Psychedelic Men’s Group

So many men lose track of their true selves in day-to-day life. We forget that we don’t have to do it alone. And we falsely believe that we are isolated in our struggles, fears, and desires. Men’s work can help break this spell by providing a much-needed pillar where we can gather our strength.

Ask yourself: How would your life be different if you had a supportive community of like-minded and psychedelically experienced men to regularly connect with? What can psychedelics teach us about healthy masculinity in the 21st century? What stories about being a man might need to die, and what stories might need to be resurrected or reimagined? What can myth, archetypes, and psychedelics teach us about masculinity in a rapidly changing world?

This group offers a space for men to come together with a shared desire to integrate psychedelic experiences, and explore how these journeys apply to their life.

Men’s work is a powerful way to step into your embodied, integrated, and empowered self. Regularly connecting with a group of likeminded men can transform your life, helping you stay accountable, and on the path of purpose.

Women's embodied psychedelic integration group:
Reclaim and empower embodiment after trauma

An integration group for women exploring embodiment and healing trauma through psychedelics. This group honors how the body plays an important role in healing and growth with altered states of consciousness before, during and long after the experience. This will be a safe and supportive space to cultivate a compassionate relationship with your embodied wholeness. A space with others to share your voice, access, embody, empower and express through shared group process and embodiment practices of expressive movement, breath, and parts work. This is a safe place to also address how intergenerational and gender related trauma impacts one’s experience and relationship to the body, others and the world. When we feel embodied, life begins to live through us and with us, instead of separate or dissociated from, leaving us with a greater capacity to feel our aliveness, compassion, joy, play, pleasure, power, sexuality, flexibility, meaningful relationships, authenticity, interconnectedness, purpose and love. This group is not a space for selling or condoning the use of psychedelics.

Psychedelic Integration Group

This group facilitated by Dr. Brian Pilecki is aimed at individuals who have had prior psychedelic experiences and are interested in a therapeutic and intentional approach to integration work.

Even though public attitudes about psychedelics are shifting, there still exists much stigma and judgment about non-ordinary states of consciousness. Psychedelic experiences may seem foreign or strange to others and are not typically valued in mainstream culture. Many people feel that they do not have a place to talk about psychedelic experiences, even though those experiences may have been profound and influential in their lives. When this occurs, people may then dismiss or overlook these experiences, potentially losing opportunities to grow and learn from them.

What are the benefits from integration in a group format?

  • Sharing and listening to others can help normalize psychedelic experiences so that you don’t feel alone or “crazy.” This can help reduce any existing self-judgment or stigma associated with psychedelic usage.
  • Hearing about the way others have experienced psychedelics can be helpful in making sense of what is often an ineffable, or indescribable, experience. Though psychedelic experiences can vary widely, there are some common elements that can be helpful in understanding what happened during an altered state.
  • Group support can be helpful in translating insights or wisdom gained from psychedelics into meaningful life changes. Groups can provide accountability, problem-solving, and a sense of community for individuals who value personal growth.
  • Having an experienced group facilitator who is knowledgeable about psychedelics is important to create a safe, supportive environment for group members to share and learn from each other.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Integration Circle

IFS is a profound method of healing that is currently exploding in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy. Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of IFS, has developed a modality of healing that is truly profound in its capability to induce quick and meaningful change. Similar to psychedelic healing, IFS is able to help us step out of the default story of self, and to embody the inner healing intelligence (or the “Self”) to heal our wounded parts. 

By engaging in this practice with a group, individuals are able to access the “Self” rapidly due to the energetic support of each member in the community. Participants oftentimes report feeling surprised by how much compassion they could feel for their own parts as a result of the group support.

-Once a month

-$10 fee

-Online via Zoom

-No prior experience with IFS or psychedelics necessary.
