Exploring Psychedelic Love

Have you experienced profound love while doing psychedelics? Do you use psychedelics as a bonding tool? How do you maintain the extaxis experienced during an altered state after the chemicals have faded?

From self love to universal love, ecstatic states of connection are often considered to be one of the holy grails of the psychedelic experience. In this month's themed integration circle we will explore all the variabilities of love and how it shows up in psychedelics. Psychedelics and enthogens have vast bonding capabilities that are just now starting to be explored by science and therapists but have been long known in sex magic and underground communities.

Integration Circle Rules

After our ICE-BREAKER, we will open up the circle 1st to people who would like to integrate a specific experience. Shares are given up to 5 min. we will then ask if the person would like to receive reflections and we will open the floor for 2-3 reflections. At that point we will then move to the next share.

If no one feels called to share a personal experience we will open the circle to questions and general conversations. Please limit shared times to allow responses.

We are also going to ask everyone to:

- Speak from personal perspective

- No Advice Giving

- Bring an open mind

- Confidentiality “what happens in Zoom, stays in Zoom”

- No Recording of ANY kind

- Silence all electronic devices

- Avoid distractive behavior: eating, multitasking, driving

- Mute mic when not talking

- avoid crosstalk

- Participation! We request that everyone participates on some level. That can look like: just turning on your camera, or participating in the check in verbally or via the chat. This is for the comfort of the group and everyone who is showing up and sharing vulnerably

- No Solicitation of Substances or Promotion of Retreats (see disclaimer)
