The Australian Psychedelic Society is excited to invite you to Perth chapter's second series of psychedelic integration circles. These will run on Tuesday evenings in October on the 12th, 19th, 26th, & 2nd November. There will be four sessions in total with space for 15 people per night running from 7:30pm - 9:30pm.

Our intention is to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment for anyone seeking to integrate a past experience, or learn more before they participate in one in the future. We hope to 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. There will be Tea provided at the end for a more social wind up.

We are very grateful for Steven and Priya for offering to facilitate these four evenings. Steven and Priya have a wealth of experience running groups, and are knowledgeable, intelligent and passionate about this thriving culture of psychedelics we find ourselves in. There will also also be members of the APS who are trained mental health practitioners present and participating in the group (but not facilitating).
