Dear SPS family,
Happy December! We hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and connection. As we welcome the holiday season, we invite you to embrace this time for reflection, rejuvenation, and replenishment. It’s a perfect moment to slow down, rest, and nurture yourself as we prepare for the year ahead. To help you stay connected and inspired, we’re excited to share our upcoming December events, including our integration circles, monthly breathwork, and our special year-end meeting, Psychedelic Santa with Gaetano Evangelista & Prayer Flag Art! We look forward to seeing you this month as we celebrate the season together and reflect on all we’ve accomplished as a community.
As always, scroll down for integration circles, event information, and registration!
In psychedelic service,

WHAT IS INTEGRATION?
"Integration refers to the process by which the material accessed, and insights gained in an entheogenic experience, are incorporated over time in a way that benefits the individual and the community." - ERIE (Entheogenic Research Integration and Education)
These circles are a safe and confidential space to talk openly about non-ordinary states of consciousness. To learn more about integration and the various circles we offer, click HERE. If you'd like to connect online with our group between meetings, we invite you to join the slack group.
