Members Psychedelic Integration Group

Psychedelics, from the Greek psyche (soul; spirit) and delic (to reveal; make manifest), have long been revered for their profound ability to unveil deeper truths, illuminate hidden parts of ourselves, and manifest our inner worlds.

Integration—rooted in the concept of wholeness—is a process of weaving together fragmented pieces of experience into a meaningful whole, promoting renewal, healing, and authentic growth.

Our Psychedelic Integration Group offers a warm, supportive, and confidential space designed for Psychedelic Society Members who have had psychedelic experiences or are exploring other consciousness-expanding practices, such as breathwork or meditation. Whether you're seeking guidance after a challenging journey or wish to share profound insights gained from your experiences, this group provides a nurturing environment to process, ground, and integrate your experiences into everyday life.

Historically, communal gathering has been integral in indigenous traditions, serving to anchor visionary experiences, enabling individuals and their communities to benefit from these revelations collectively. Continuing this tradition, our integration group facilitates open-hearted dialogue, compassionate listening, and meaningful reflection. Each session encourages participants to unpack their experiences, explore their significance, and translate these powerful insights into practical actions that support growth, healing, and balance.

Please note that our gatherings do not permit the use or promotion of psychedelic substances or any psychoactive drugs. Our intention is purely integration-focused, aiming to foster self-awareness, collective wisdom, and mutual support on our shared journey of personal and communal transformation.

FACILITATORS

Dr Michael Barry

Michael qualified as a medical doctor from the University of Edinburgh in 2013 and has worked since 2015 as an Emergency Medicine doctor (A&E). In 2020, a little burned out, he had his first experience of psychedelics on a week long retreat with Ayahuasca in which he was blown away by their massive potential for facilitating psychoemotional and spiritual work. 

He certified in 2023 as a psychedelic practitioner on the 18 month Synthesis programme, culminating in a month’s placement running the psychotherapeutic programme at an Ayahuasca retreat centre in Mexico, Centro Nierika. In May 2024 he had the pleasure of facilitating at the PHP psilocybin and meditation retreat, and has since joined the admin team. He works as an integration facilitator with the UK Psychedelic Society.

Receiving an MSc in Psychotherapy with distinction in 2024, he is now a psychotherapist and completed his research dissertation on the bodily experience of psychedelics. He has significant experience with residential addiction work and group work.  He most recently completed Level 1 Internal Family Systems training and tends to favour using this modality, whilst holding close his original Rogerian Person-Centred training.

He has significant experience in the Ayahuasca tradition from the Peruvian jungle, having travelled to Peru multiple times to do traditional silent Ayahuasca retreats called “dietas”. He also has deep personal experience with psilocybin and mescaline, and has done experiential training with MDMA.

Michael is also an avid meditator with over 8 weeks of silent meditation retreat experience, most recently at Gaia House in August 2023 and October 2024 following the teachings of Rob Burbea. He has considerable experience of meditating whilst on psychedelics.
