Psychedelic Integration Circle with Michelle Baker-Jones, Ashleigh Murphy-Beiner and Natasha Moscovici (Members Only)

We are excited to offer a monthly integration circle exclusively for our members which will be led by facilitators Ashleigh Murphy-Beiner, Michelle Baker-Jones and Natasha Moscovici. Experienced in offering psychedelic integration support, Michelle and Ashleigh were both guides in the Imperial College London psilocybin for depression clinical trials. As part of their work on the trials, they guided psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions and supported people to integrate their experiences in the days, weeks and months after.

Psychedelics are powerful tools that can offer profound insight and lead to transformation. However, without proper integration which supports us to make sense of those insights or translate them into actions, it can be unclear how to bring the insights back into our everyday lives. Some psychedelic experiences are also very challenging, leaving us feeling fragile, confused or overwhelmed. Sharing all of these experiences and having others hear and understand them, can be an important part of the integration process. 

With psychedelics becoming more mainstream, we feel it is essential to create community spaces where we can support each other to make sense of our psychedelic experiences. With the guidance of our facilitators, the circle will offer a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where open conversations can happen, so we can learn from our experiences and support each other to develop, heal and grow. 

We hope that you will join us for this intimate monthly event, to be held on the second Tuesday of each month. This integration circle will be offered exclusively to our members as a thank you for your dedication to our mission to improve education about psychedelics.
