Welcome to the Altered States Integration Meetup group! This group is for individuals who are interested in exploring altered states of consciousness, such as psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, and more, and integrating those experiences into their daily lives. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just beginning your journey, this group offers a supportive and non-judgmental space to share experiences, insights, and tools for integration. Join us for discussions, workshops, and community gatherings to help deepen your understanding of altered states and their potential for personal growth and transformation. Let's explore and integrate together!
Big life transitions can shake identity, routine, relationships, and the stories we tell about where we are headed. A breakup, career change, move, loss, health shift, new role, or inner transformation can all create the kind of threshold where psychedelic experiences hit differently. In these times, journeys may bring clarity, but they can also expose grief, fear, ambivalence, or the reality that something in life is no longer working.
Psychedelics often illuminate the in-between spaces. They may show us what we have outgrown, what we are resisting, or what wants to emerge next. But insight alone does not make change easy. Integration can help us slow down, sort through what was revealed, and make grounded decisions while life still feels uncertain.
Join us for this themed integration circle as we explore change, transition, and what it means to be between versions of yourself. This is a place to process the emotional charge of life shifts, reflect on what your journeys have shown you, and hear how others are navigating their own thresholds.
What is an integration Circle?
An Integration Circle is a safe, supportive space where individuals can process and reflect on their psychedelic experiences. These gatherings allow participants to share insights, challenges, and questions, fostering deeper understanding and personal growth. Whether you're seeking clarity on a powerful journey or simply curious to hear from others, integration circles provide a sense of community and connection. All are welcome—whether you feel called to share your story or simply listen and hold space for others. Come as you are and join us in exploring the transformative power of integration together.
Psychedelics can promote a vast sense of oneness, but the experience of dissolving into everything, or nothing, can be incredibly scary and deserves special integration. Addressing mortality, confronting spiritual truths or fallacies, and losing your usual frame of self can be profound, but also deeply destabilizing. For some, ego death feels liberating. For others, it feels like psychological freefall.
These experiences are often spoken about as if they are inherently wise or enlightened, but that can flatten the reality. Ego death can be beautiful. It can also be terrifying, disorganizing, and hard to explain once you come back. Some people feel changed in ways they welcome. Others struggle to reorient, trust themselves, or put language to what happened. That is exactly why integration matters here.
Join us for this themed integration circle where we will explore both the experience of ego death and the rebirth of self. This space can help you talk through the hard truths of ego dissolution, make sense of what followed afterward, and hear how others have worked to get grounded again after the self fell apart.

Here at Altered States Integration, recreational is not a dirty word. We prefer to reclaim the word rather than eliminate it because fun and recreation have an important role in healing and growth. Not every meaningful experience has to begin with a solemn intention. Sometimes it is the vacation from ordinary life that helps. Sometimes it is the laughter. Sometimes it is the feeling of being alive with other people.
Play does not make an experience shallow. In fact, joy, silliness, pleasure, curiosity, and connection can all be part of what helps people soften, open, and heal. Psychedelics may invite deep emotional material, but they can also remind us that social connection is medicine and that delight has value too. Integration helps us recognize what was nourishing in those lighter moments instead of dismissing them as less important.
Join us for this themed integration circle as we take a fun approach to processing psychedelic experiences. Come reflect on the healing role of play, social connection, and recreation, and hear how others are making meaning out of experiences that were joyful, funny, bonding, or unexpectedly therapeutic.
