The Australian Psychedelic Society Adelaide chapter invites you to attend our new and now monthly Adelaide Psychedelic Integration Circles.

We foster 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, we do provide harm reduction practices and support.

The circle will allow for each of you to share a little about yourself and your experience, while we will also focus on learning tools and techniques to work through experiences in a structured way, guiding you through a process of reflection and action.

The Sydney Chapter of the Australian Psychedelic Society warmly invites everyone to our Spring Picnic on the Northern Beaches. Head to the grass surrounding the Dee Why Beach car park and look for the APS flag in the ground a/o our banner and you’ll also see our volunteers with purple APS t-shirts on.

We'll be having a fire to gather around and after lunch for those interested, we will go for a walk. This location is also the beginning of the Dee Why to Long Reef walk that leads northward through the dunes and amazing birdlife, to the spectacular headland of the Long Reef Aquatic Reserve.

Join the Australian Psychedelic Society's Goldfields group for our first psychedelic stories event.

We hope to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgemental space in which to share experiences, insights, and cautionary tales with fellow travellers. If you'd prefer to share stories you've heard or read about, that's fine too. And there will be no pressure to share - feel free to just listen, laugh, cry, or pose a question.

We'll start with lunch/drinks at The Bridge Hotel, Castlemaine (we've booked a private room for the event). Then if the weather's fine, we might head across the road for a walk around the botanical gardens.

If you'd like to attend, you can either mark yourself as 'going' on the Facebook event, or email stu.h@psychedelicsociety.org.au

Hope to see you there!
