About Psychedelic Integration Sharing Circle
An Integration Sharing Circle is a safe space where every participant will get time to share their altered states of consciousness / psychedelic experiences and hold space for the rest of the participants. Being heard and hearing other people’s experiences are proven tools to keep processing and integrating our own processes.
Each month one of our coaches will guide the circle.
What to expect?
- A Safe and Supportive Environment
- Community & Connection
- Guided Sharing Sessions

How to Prepare
- Create a quiet and comfortable space for yourself, where you won’t be disturbed.
- You can light a candle and have next to you a personal item. You are also welcome to journaling.
- Approach the session with an open mind and without specific expectations. Be willing to embrace whatever experiences arise.
Your Guide: Vismay Agrawal
Vismay is a Psychedelic Preparation & Integration Coach, as well as a PhD researcher at the Monash Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies, Melbourne, Australia. His research focuses on exploring how altered states of consciousness and insights can liberate the mind from suffering. He likes to combine different methods of integration, such as mindfulness, shadow work, and meaning-making to unify the Heart and the Mind.
“My first psychedelic experience proved to be a pivotal turning point in my life. It became clear that the story I tell myself is just that—a story—it does not define the essence of who I truly am..”
How to reserve your spot
In order to reserve your spot, please fill in the following document & donate 5€ (or more) through BuyMeaCoffee. Why a donation? In the past we have done those circles on a donation basis, people signed up but didn’t show off, which was a loss of time and energy for ourselves and our coaches organising the circles. We think that 5€ is an honest exchange for the provided service.
Conduct Code
A code of conduct for psychedelic integration circles is essential to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants.
Confidentiality
Everything shared within the circle stays within the circle. Participants must agree not to disclose personal experiences or discussions outside the group.
Respect and Non-Judgment
Approach each person’s experience with respect and an open mind. Avoid judgment or criticism of others’ experiences and perspectives.
Acknowledge the vulnerability of sharing personal experiences and honour this with attentive listening and empathy.
Safety and Well-being
The well-being of participants is paramount. Facilitators should be prepared to provide support or refer participants to professional help if needed.
Encourage practices that promote physical and emotional safety, including clear guidelines on not attending under the influence of substances.
Equality and Inclusivity
Everyone’s experience is valid and deserves equal respect and attention. The circle should foster an inclusive environment that welcomes diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives.
Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated.
Voluntary Participation
Sharing is based on voluntary participation. No one should feel pressured to share more than they are comfortable with.
Participants have the right to pass or simply listen during sharing rounds.
Mindful Communication
Encourage mindful and considerate communication. Participants should be aware of the time they take to share to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak.
Use “I” statements from personal experience rather than generalizations or advice-giving.
Boundaries
Respect personal boundaries and the physical space of others. Consent is crucial in all interactions.
Facilitators should establish clear guidelines for any physical activities or practices involving contact.
Commitment to Growth
Participants and facilitators alike commit to personal and collective growth, understanding that integration is an ongoing process.
Encourage a mindset of curiosity, openness to learning, and support for one another’s journeys.
Legal Awareness
Acknowledge the legal status of psychedelic substances and do not promote illegal activities within the circle.
Focus on the integration of past experiences rather than planning or encouraging future use.
Professional Guidance
Recognize the limits of the support that can be offered within the circle and the importance of seeking professional help when needed.
