APS Perth - Psychedelic Integration Circle - May 2024

The Australian Psychedelic Society invites you to attend our next psychedelic integration circle. We create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment for anyone seeking to integrate a past experience and share elements and insights in a way that supports integration. We will support you to make sense of challenging experiences, to share a meaningful experience with like-minded people, and to connect with the local community. 

We acknowledge that recreational use of psychedelics continues despite a long history of criminalisation. The group does not encourage or condone recreational use but we do provide harm minimisation support and psycho-education to those who make their own choice to do this. The circle will focus on learning tools and techniques to work through experiences in a structured way, guiding members through a process of reflection and action. A mental health professional will be present.

We are very grateful for Jozay & Agnieska to facilitate this evening at the cosey yoga studio "Nature of Self". Both are knowledgeable, intelligent and passionate about this thriving culture of psychedelics we find ourselves in. Expect a taste of meditation and sound healing suitable for beginners.

FACILITATORS 

Jozay Longden is a registered clinical psychologist with many years of experience providing psychological and psychotherapeutic services within Perth. Having graduated from Oxford University, she went on to obtain a Masters degree in Counselling from Notre Dame University and a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Murdoch University.
With an emphasis on how attachment experiences influence emotions, behaviour, autobiographical memory and narrative, Jozay applies an interpersonal neurobiology approach to help clients develop a healthy mind, an integrated brain, and empathic relationships.
One of Jozay’s interests include the recent resurgence in the use of psychedelics as a healing modality for the treatment of trauma. As psychedelics are illegal she does not encourage psychedelic referrals, nor does she offer psychedelic therapy. However she tailors therapy to meet the specific needs of her clients and offers psychedelic integration therapy under a harm minimisation approach, and provides a supportive, and psychedelic-informed therapeutic flavour to her work.
