The psychedelic integration group is a space for people to come together and share their experiences on psychedelics; both challenging and illuminative. The group starts with a specific mindfulness exercise to get in touch with a powerful psychedelic experience. Then the group members share, if desired, and help each other both make sense of, and create meaning out of, the experience. Psychedelic experiences are meaningful. We come together to integrate these experiences into our sense of self.
