Madison Psychedelic Society

Hello!

Our May integration circle will meet at the Cornucopia Arts & Wellness, 2 S. Ingersoll St Madison 53703, from 6pm to 8pm on Tuesday April 30th.

Have you had a psychedelic experience that you're still chewing on? MPS open integration circle is a peer-led group where we gather to facilitate integration of previous psychedelic experiences.

Psychedelic integration is about making sense of past psychedelic experiences to enhance personal growth and well-being, a crucial bridge between visionary insights and everyday life.

What an integration circle is NOT:

• A place for story-telling, discussing the latest visuals we had, or trip tales
• A place to disseminate your doctrine or tell people how to act / think / live
• Therapy or a hierarchical space of advice giving

What we are interested in IS:

• Unpacking the meaning of our journeys
• Processing experiences that are often ineffable and challenging
• Transforming them into meaningful changes applicable to our daily lives
• Raising our awareness of the impact they have on our personal self-exploration and growth.

We aim to create an inclusive and confidential space where everyone’s age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, cultural background, neurodivergence, and abilities are welcome!

From veteran psychonauts to psychedelic noobs, we welcome you to share your experiences and actively listen to others to foster growth and fully benefit from our journeys in a supportive and communal space.

Suggested contribution of $5 cash or via Venmo at @DayHJ co MPS helps make MPS self-sustaining!

The Madison Psychedelic Society does not condone the use of illegal or controlled substances, and does not tolerate solicitation, use, or sale of controlled substances at our events.

In psychedelic circles, we often speak of the wisdoms of plant medicines, and the gifts of nature relatedness. Mushrooms, cacti, vines, flowers, and herbs populate psychedelic culture stories as guides, teachers, and ancestors. Through our experiences with them, we find connection, belonging, and answers to the questions asked by the human condition. This is not hyberbole, this is a different way of relating to our world. Let's explore it. Contemporary thought often reads these stories as metaphorical, but what could we learn if we listen directly to the plants themselves? The modern analytical investigation of psychedelic science feeds our intellectual curiosity, but many of us find valuable personal meaning through experiences both numinous and ineffable.

This gathering will be different than most MPS events. This will be a small group experiential workshop devoted to cultivating our personal relationships with spirit medicine plants. Instead of discussing science, chemistry, or history, we will be practicing intuitive personal inquiry. Using contemplative and imaginal exercises (journaling, concentration, light trance), we will explore our impressions of some medicinal plants. This first workshop will focus on building our intuitive listening skills, and on "meeting" our plants. Please bring a blanket/chair for sitting outdoors, water and/or non-intoxicating snacks, a journal or sketchpad, and a willingness to try something new!
