Expanded States Integration Circle
Whether you're a seasoned psychedelic explorer or simply finding your way, this open circle offers a opportunity to share, listen and make connection. We invite you to bring expression of your experiences, whether transcendental, scary, troubling or inspiring; and whether they happened recently or long ago. Each person will have time to share, however it is also totally okay to simply be witness in the group. We will listen with open hearts, as this is not a time to offer judgement or criticism or even interpretation of someone else's story. If we are moved by something we have heard, we will comment just in reference to what it brings up in us, or the themes that we are noticing. Together we can process our experiences, see what meanings emerge, and make sense of how this might aid our growth and journey through this life. We can also discuss practices that help support the integration process and talk about harm reduction considerations for any future planned experiences.
This confidential space will be facilitated by Rosa and Aaron Sefi. Rosa is a psychotherapist at the Bird House Therapy Centre and we will meet in her room there while the group begins to grow. Aaron is a trained counsellor who now works in mental health research and service delivery. Both have extensive experience supporting people in deep process both individually and in groups and hold workshops together along these themes.
While we believe that explanded state experiences that are ignited by breathwork or plant medicines can offer deep insight and potential for healing, we ask that you please don't come to the group under the influence of psychoactive substances. In keeping with the law, we do not encourage substance use or provide access to illegal substances or practices. We are simply wanting to offer a safe container in which people can come together to process and integrate their experiences.
Tickets are free. Please offer a donation within your means on the day, or via eventbrite.
