In-Person Psychedelic Peer Support Integration Circle
**Please join the Montgomery County Psychedelic Society for our monthly in-person psychedelic peer support.**
This group is for those who have already had experiences with psychedelics and are looking to explore, understand, and learn from those experiences in a safe, welcoming space.
Psychedelic integration is a way of turning the insights and experiences we have when we use psychedelics into lasting behavior and lifestyle changes. It’s a process of becoming whole, moving from altered states to altered traits. A psychedelic peer support meeting is a place where people take turns listening to and sharing their experiences, thoughts, and feelings relating to psychedelic integration.
**Cost**
Free
**Location**
* We meet in a private home in Bethesda, MD.
* Street parking available
* The primary bus routes servicing the intersection of Greentree Rd & Bradmoor Dr in Bethesda, MD, are the Montgomery County Ride On Route 30 (Bethesda Metro ↔ Medical Center Metro) and Ride On Route 47 (\~5–7 min walk)
**This group may be right for you if you:**
* Have past experience using psychedelics
* Want to talk through your psychedelic experiences openly with supportive people
* Seek additional strategies for continuing your integration process
* Wish to support others in their personal growth within an inclusive and judgment-free space
**This group may NOT be right for you if you:**
* Hope that attending might replace your need for professional treatment of any mental health problems you might have
* Are looking for group psychotherapy, medical care, or psychiatric treatment or advice
* Had a challenging experience with psychedelics that continues to cause you distress
* Want to find out where to access illegal substances or guides or practitioners working “underground.”
**How it Works**
Here are a few things to know about how our peer psychedelic integration group works:
* Tea, water, and snacks will be provided
* Please plan to attend the entire event.
* Late arrivals and early departures disrupt the safety of our space. Doors will close shortly after 7 pm
* There is a 15-person limit for this event so everyone has a chance to speak and be heard.
* You must register via our MeetUp page.
**Our Expectations of all Participants**
To help keep our time together focused, meaningful, and safe for everyone, we ask that you abide by these expectations:
* We treat everyone in our circle with courtesy, compassion, and respect, regardless of age, ability, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
* We do not encourage or condone any illegal activities, the purchase, sale, transfer, or use of any illegal substances, or partaking in any unlawful activities related to illegal substances. For those who choose to partake, we encourage safety and awareness from a harm-reduction perspective.
* We do not use illegal substances during our meetings.
* Please do not use the group for references to ceremonies or where/how to find illegal substances, online and/or in person.
* Do not bring, buy, sell, transfer, or arrive under the influence of any illegal substances, or swap information on how to acquire them through the group, online, and/or in person.
* Anyone who disregards these basic requests will be asked to leave the group and not be permitted to return. Thank you for respecting the safety of the space we are co-creating.
**Finally**
* *We ask that you not show up without registering.*
* Attending these meetings does not create a treatment relationship. Any attendees requiring medical or psychiatric treatment will be offered referrals to professional care.
* If you have accessibility concerns, please contact the facilitator via a Meetup message.
* If you wish to speak to somebody about difficult psychedelic experiences and are unsure where to turn, immediate and free peer support is available from the psychedelic helpline [Fireside Project](https://firesideproject.org/).

Full Strawberry Moon in Old Town
This month's full moon is known as a Strawberry Moon because June is when strawberries are usually harvested.
Let's meet at the bike rack across the street from the King Street Metro Station and enjoy a full moon walk in Old Town!
NB: There is a Capital Bikeshare on Cameron St, across the street from the King St Metro, but that's NOT where we are meeting! Come to the Capital Bikeshare in between Joe Theismann's and Embassy Suites on Diagonal St.
❶ **What we'll do:**
* From the bike rack we'll walk south and east to Wilkes St, which we'll follow east through Wilkes St Tunnel to the waterfront. From there we'll walk upstream to the north side of Founder's Park and head west along Oronoco Street to Fairfax Street, walk south along N Fairfax St to King St, and then walk west along King St back to our starting point.
* The walk is a little over 3.5 miles and should take around an hour and a half. The surface is mostly paved throughout and fairly level.
* Google map: [https://tinyurl.com/psdd2s94](https://tinyurl.com/psdd2s94)
❷ **How to get there:**
* Metro: King Street Station is on the Blue and Yellow Lines. Current Metro status and alerts: [https://tinyurl.com/y7lklnl7](https://tinyurl.com/y7lklnl7)
* Driving: From I-395, take VA-7 / King Street east about 2.8 miles. Take the first right after passing under the railroad (Daingerfield Street), and an immediate right onto Diagonal Road. From US-1 / Richmond Highway, follow King Street west 0.5 miles, take a sharp left onto Daingerfield, and the first right onto Diagonal Road. There is free and metered parallel parking in the area.
❸ **Weather:** The forecast during our event is partly cloudy, temperatures in the low 80s, and a very slight chance of showers. Sunset is at 8:37 pm and civil twilight ends at 9:09 pm. The moon rises at 8:52 pm. Updates here: [https://tinyurl.com/yck2442z](https://tinyurl.com/yck2442z)
❹ **What to bring:** Water, comfy shoes, and your furry friend if desired (leashes, please). The streets are well lighted but you may want to bring a flashlight.
❺ **Advisory:** As a reminder, this is an adult group, and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and well-being during events. No one under 18 years of age is allowed at this event, either as members or as guests, to include babies in carriers and/or strollers.

There is no charge for the event itself and all are welcome but there are a few guidelines:
1. **You are expected to purchase food and/or drink to compensate the Cantina and our server.**
2. **No soliciting. Do not bring samples of your wares or brochures of your services.**
3. **Please respect the spiritual and political views of others that are present. No disruption of the peace.**
In case of inclement weather, we will find seating indoors.
I hope to see you there. Blessed be! \~ Cynthia ❤️---
