Psychedelics-Integration
We are a Community of Professionals specialised in the Preparation & Integration of Psychedelic Experiences.
Our goal is to create clarity, reduce harm and destigmatise psychedelics by providing Information & Support.
Are you (or do you know someone who is) a psychedelic therapist, coach, or professional?
We are developing our structure and platform's model and are looking for therapists and coaches to interview.
We deeply care about our professionals and want to understand how we can create more value for them by understanding the obstacles, needs and wishes from their perspective when offering services online.
Our job is to make the process smoother, better and more accessible.

We are super excited to be able to support Chacruna Institute on its Psychedelic Culture 2024 as a community partner!
Chacruna is doing much-needed work on the space bringing upfront the voices of the indigenous communities and working hard to make sure they have a sit on the table.
From Psychedelics-Integration we are supporting their mission fully, these medicines that we are engaging with are not only a molecule but a whole cosmovision and the only way forward is together, building the bridges from a place of respect and appreciation.

๐ Call for Participants: A Unique Study on Psilocybin Experiences ๐
When it comes to psychedelics, the spotlight often falls on profound, life-altering experiences. However, not all journeys consist of immediate and dramatic revelations. This project seeks to explore the nuanced spectrum of psychedelic encounters, specifically focusing on underwhelming or unexpected experiences with psilocybin in a retreat setting. Our research aims to delve into these underexplored experiences, which, can offer deep, personal insights and contribute to a nuanced understanding of psychedelic experiences and their integration.

๐Contribute to Groundbreaking Research: Provide essential insights into the myriad experiences of psychedelic journeys, enriching our collective understanding.
๐กReflect on Your Experience: Engage in thoughtful reflection on your personal
experience, uncovering new layers and perspectives.
๐ฑAdvance Psychedelic Science: Play a pivotal role in broadening the understanding of psychedelics; impact on mental health and personal development.
Participation Snapshot:
โฑOne-Hour Online Interview: Share your story through a confidential Zoom interview focused on your unique experience.
๐Ensured Privacy: Your anonymity and the confidentiality of your information are our top priorities.
Who Can Join
๐Participants must be 18+and proficient in English.

The word shaman is everywhere, but what does it mean and where does it come from? Also is it ok to use it for anyone working with plant medicine? Let's have a closer look at it together :)
What is the difference between Recreational, Ceremonial & Medicinal, in a p$ychedel!cs context?
We do not think that one way is better than the other, there isn't just one way when talking about p$ychedel!cs or mental health. Even using substances recreationally can have a therapeutic effect, if well prepared & integrated.
Most of the people first encounter psychedelics in a recreationally way. We shouldnโt condemn it, blame it or pretend that it isnโt as important as a ceremony. But rather destigmatize the subject & reduce harm by talking about it, sharing our knowledges & supporting people.
We are here for you in whatever way you choose:
๐ชฉrecreationally: check our substance guides & blog articles
๐ceremonially: look for one of our coaches
๐ฉนmedicinally: look for one of our psychiatrists

It feels like a bad trip to think that we are still living in a time of ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฌ. Luckily, this is changing quickly.

Our mind is constantly looking to analyse, understand, and try to give a sense to what is. If we were trying to give some space to the experience? Try to "dezoom" and look at the bigger picture? Try to feel the experience instead of analyzing it?
During my first psychedelic experiences, I had expectations: "I am going explore this shadow", "I will finally be able to let go of this". My mind was trying to understand any sensations "Why do I feel this?", "Why do I have this vision"?
I personally think that the key during altered states of consciousness (with or without substances) is to LET GO. Let go of any expectations and judgments. It doesn't matter how you will be working on yourself. The plant knows what to show you, and it will sometimes appear totally nonsense. But the work is ongoing. TRUST :)
And if you can't let go of expectations or judgments it is OK. It takes time to change habits. And this is why we are here, to support you in your Journey. Contact us.

You might have read it already, she gave an interview for nothing less but (!!), explaining why interest in psychedelic retreats is spiking (which goes well with our blog article on The Rising Wave of Psychedelic Retreat Vacations, link in bio!).
The article "Are Psychedelics Retreats the Future of Wellness Travel?" is written by the talented , who we admire for her creativity & authenticity! In the article, she describes her experience with 5-MeO-DMT.
Huge thanks to those women shaping the world of Psychedelics by being true to themselves, doing the inner work & telling it out loud. ๐
Do you also think that Miyazaki Movies are Psychedelic? ๐ฏ
The Psychedelic World can be hard to depict. Still, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli stroke a stride by making timeless movies that resonate with the viewer deeply while bringing us on a true Psychedelic Journey. ๐
In this article, we will discuss some of the most transformative Ghibli movies and how they relate to the Psychedelic Experience. We will also speak about the Greek idea of Katabasis: the journey to the Underworld and how Miyazakiโs characters also experience their own Katabasis journey. ๐ฎ

๐จSPOILER ALERT๐จ
We love Rick & Morty and loved even more the last season. In episode 3 Rick is going to therapy, and we liked the following points:
๐ฆ Rick telling the President not to stigmatize Mental Health
๐ฆ Helen (aka the Therapist) explaining that Rick is changing, even if "slowly"
๐ฆ Rick saying that people can worship what/who they want
Anyone at a point in his life can need therapy - even Rick - and it is totally fine!
Do like Rick, go get a Therapist ๐
With the News that 1D-L*D might become illegal soon in Germany, we decided to create this Guide about:

Let us know if this was helpful for you & if we are missing anything (:

invited us for a Psychedelic Sauna: an evening full of cosiness, sweat, music & well... Psychedelics!
"All I knew was that Psychedelic Society Berlin was organizing a meetup in Sweet&Sweat, a Sauna in Kreuzberg. It was a cold Tuesday, the idea sounded pretty attractive. With my towels and my sandals, I went alone to the sauna without any attempts but to socialize and get sweaty.
After getting naked (something I love about Germany!!), I entered the chill tent and sat next to the first person I saw, who appeared to be one of the members of the Society. We directly sympathised, talking about Berlin, the nightlife and of course about substances!
People started to arrive, the fire to gently burn in the chimney and a DJ (Waves of Pleasure) to tune in some yummy downtempo tracks. I felt super cosy, safe and happy to have come!
โGuys we are about to start the ceremony. Everyone take a cup and wait in line pleaseโ said a masculine voice. Sorry, what are we doing??"
