Our intention and our Vision
The Integration Circle was formed to create a bridge between psychedelic and entheogenic experiences and integrating, embodying and creating long term sustainable change. We bridge and synthesize modern western psycho-spiritual modalities (Jungian and Transpersonal psychologies, Somatic psychology and practices, Relational and attachment theories) with ancient indigenous and eastern healing practices in order to maximize the healing potential of entheogenic and psychedelic experiences. Our services are geared towards both individuals who engage with entheogens or psychedelics and professionals who want to learn working effectively with the challenges and transformative potential of these experiences through experiential and educational workshops.
At The Integration Circle, we see integration as a process of using the content of your experience, personal or transpersonal, for self-understanding, psycho-emotional trauma healing, and spiritual development. We believe integration work leads toward sustainable personal change, healthier relationships and a fuller life.
We brought together a collective of knowledgeable and experienced professionals who are passionate and committed to the growing field of psycho-spiritual integration. We offer a diverse range of services as well as collaborations with other professionals on the different dimension of integration to serve the wider community.
Through The Integration Circle, we aim to expand the cultural dialogue and skill set around intentional preparation and integration of expanded-states of consciousness for healing and development on personal and collective levels.
WHY WE DO THIS WORK
All of us at TIC have had experiences that impacted us on multiple levels - emotionally, somatically, psychologically, and spiritually. Feeling the depth and potential of these experiences, we wondered how we relate to the complexity and nuances of the experience to create understanding, meaning, deep healing and sustainable, long term transformation. It became very clear that we needed bridges, ways to connect all the different aspects of these experiences - ways to conceptualize it, think about it, move through it, emotionally and spiritually engage in it. We understood this is a cycle of change that we go through more often than we think. With the right education, tools, and community we can practice integration with ordinary and out of ordinary experiences. We believe integration is an attitude towards life and an on-going practice.
These experiences have also lead us to committing ourselves in understanding this process through research, study, and practice. We conducted research looking into the different dimensions of integration entheogenic and psychedelic experiences using frameworks such as Jungian Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, Somatic Psychology, Shamanic Cosmology, Eastern Philosophy, and Relational Psychology. We’ve found that an integrated approach creates those bridges. We’ve create frameworks to navigate and understand the process of integrating altered states of consciousness.
The Integration Circle does not encourage or condone any illegal activities. We believe that all people have a right to informed and compassionate support after transformational experiences. The Integration Circle takes a harm reduction approach to promote accurate information, education, and safety.
