We are holding space for something greater to occur within these virtual walls, a greater comprehension, a greater sense of community, and a greater understanding of entheogenic communion.

Our intention is to create a space where we can discuss entheogenic journeys with some depth and explore concepts and perspectives that will help people prepare for, navigate, and integrate these journeys in the highest way possible. Hearing people's trip experiences and how they are impacted by it negatively or positively is a big part of what will happen here, and these narratives will be the springboard for our discussions. Our focus is on the archetypal, sacramental journey, and it's various features, processes, and transformations, as well as metaphor and symbolism of what comes through in these journeys.

We believe 'integration' is a three-fold idea:

1.Integrating a single journey (days, weeks, months, years after)

2.Integrating many journeys over a long period of time.

3.Integrating the use of these substances in our own spirituality, culture, and world in a legal and safe way.

We deliberately use the term "entheogen" instead of psychedelic because the word means 'generating-the-Divine-within' and this is the aspect of what these medicines can do for us that is so profoundly transformative and needed in our society.

Our circles are led by psychonauts who are adept at journeying, with personal and/or professional experience with these medicines who can offer insight based on their own experience.

The two-hour integration circle will meet as a group in the main room for an intro to the topic and moderators and shared agreements, then split up into Breakout Rooms depending on number of attendees. We will have 2-3 moderators in each room. Participants can join any room they like, limit 12.
