Members Psychedelic Sharing Circle ONLINE

Welcome to the new Members Psychedelic Society Sharing Circle 

An ONLINE social event to connect with like-minded individuals, explore new topics related to personal growth and spirituality, and deepen your understanding of yourself and others.

During our circle, we will incorporate a variety of activities and techniques to help facilitate connection and self-exploration, including meditation or visualisations, sharing circles, pods, journaling, self-inquiry, connection activities, and rituals.

This event is not about promoting or advocating the use of psychedelics, but rather providing a platform for those who have had such experiences to openly share their insights, revelations, and reflections. Whether you've encountered altered states of consciousness through psychedelics and other tools of consciousness alteration, or are simply curious to learn from others, this discussion circle welcomes it all.

Our intention is to create a space of safety and support where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with others who are on a similar path of self-discovery. We encourage you to come with an open mind and an open heart, ready to engage in meaningful conversations and build a community of like-minded individuals.

Whether you are new to the world of the Psychedelic Society or have been with us on this journey for a while, our sharing circle offers a unique opportunity to connect, grow, and find your tribe. We look forward to seeing you there!
