The Australian Psychedelic Society invites you to attend our next psychedelic integration circle. We are grateful to be able to host this event at 'Nature of Self Yoga', a beautiful studio in North Fremantle that will be a supportive space for us. We hope 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 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.

We are very grateful for Priya and Steven for offering to facilitate this evening. Priya and Steven 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 be members of the APS who are trained mental health practitioners present and participating in the group (but not facilitating).
