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)
This will be a safe space to talk about non-ordinary states of consciousness. If you'd like to connect online with our group between meetings, we invite you to join the slack group.
As you'll notice on our posted schedule (below), we are adding a "Symbols & Meaning (Ullman Method) Circle" on every 2nd Wednesday of the month, and a "Peer Support for Addiction Circle" on every 4th Wednesday, starting in November.
Symbols & Meaning (Ullman Method) Circle
"As my journey…” Approach to Psychedelic Integration.
This integration circle is based on the Ullman method and has typically been used for nighttime dreams. This circle is for those who are curious about finding meaning from the messages, images, symbols, stories, etc. from their psychedelic experience. The messages of the unconscious are not always clear and we may have to work to understand them. Using the Ullman approach, the individual shares their experience to the extent they are comfortable, and others may share their ideas about the journey by projecting as if it were their own, always responding, “If this were my journey, . . .” The power of this process is that by hearing others' projections, the person sharing opens up to new ideas that resonate with them in a way they could not have done on their own. The person sharing their journey experience decides what it means to them. They may resonate with some reflections and not resonate with others. That is okay.
Peer Support for Addiction Circle
Are you interested in learning how psychedelic medicines can be helpful with addictive behaviors and patterns? Most of us struggle with some form of addictive behavior—whether it be with technology, substances, or compulsive mental patterns. If you’re struggling with addictive behaviors, or if you have helpful guidance to share with others based on personal experience, we invite you to a safe and confidential space where we can support each other on the journey! (NOTE: These are sober sessions offered for emotional support. Sierra Psychedelic Society facilitators are not providing psychotherapy, medical advice, or substance abuse counseling.)
