A safe space to integrate your psychedelic experience.
Psychedelic journeys can be challenging and sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and ego-disintegration. You might have questions or want feedback and support pre- and post-journey. Our qualified team is here to be of service.
The Integration Circle at Illuminate Wellness is coaching-style group that offers a way to connect with others before and after healing journeys, enhance the heart-mind connection, and translate the wisdom and insights received from plant medicine teachers into everyday reality. The ceremony is just the beginning; the next step is self-directed healing by continuing inner work to avoid "psychedelic bypass." The Integration Circle provides an opportunity to engage in interpersonal integration by coming together, as a community, to listen and support one another as insights from journeys with psychedelics are shared. Allowing others to witness the process of using words to make sense of experiences helps to ground them to this dimension and can lead to meaningful and lasting changes in day-to-day life. Engaging in the process of sharing facilitates individual integration through deep, personal introspection.
The Integration Circle also supports harm reduction by providing safety information including appropriate set and setting as well as collateral risks and consequences in a non-judgmental, respectful space. Personal practices will also be shared to enhance individual integration between group sessions.
The weekly online psychedelic Integration Circle at Illuminate Wellness brings the same peer-supported community sharing space as traditional sharing circles with the addition of guidance from an experienced clinician who will facilitate discussions that promote the building of a meaningful life from lessons and experiences with psychedelics.
Individual integration sessions also available.
Disclaimer:
Illuminate Wellness offers both coaching and therapeutic services. The Integration Circle is structured as a coaching-style group. While there are some similarities between the coaching and psychotherapy, they are different activities and it is important to understand the differences between them. Coaching is not reimbursable by health insurance. Coaching does not focus on diagnostics or treatment of mental health disorders. If at any time you require therapeutic services, we are happy to support you in finding a qualified, licensed therapist in your area. If you desire ketamine-assisted therapy, we can refer you to our program.
We sometimes receive requests for guided support during the use of plant medicine, instructions on how to obtain illegal substances, or for us to connect you with people offering journeys; however, we do not offer support or advice in these areas. All integration circle services require a commitment to sobriety during attendance.
