What the organisers say about their integration circles:

This is a safe, private space to discuss and share on the topic of psychedelics. Confidentiality is protected, it's a quiet venue and a private room. You don't need to speak if you're not comfortable, being there is enough.

Everyone is welcome whether they have experience of psychedelics, or are just at the investigation stage.  We have a different theme each month to keep it interesting. Sometimes its a social evening but with the focus still on psychedelics and I line up some supportive and gentle activities to get to know each other in pairs and small groups. Other times we focus on integration techniques.

Psychedelics & Existential Crises - Navigating Psychedelic Aftershock

What the Psychedelic Society are saying about their upcoming event:

Psychedelics can offer profound, mind-opening experiences, but they can also shake our foundational ground, our sense of reality and sense of self, to its core. In a recent study we explored the experiences of 26 people who faced deep existential distress after a psychedelic journey—confusion about the meaning of life, identity, and their place in the world. These experiences affected their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and their physical well-being.

Join us for an open conversation about navigating the complexities of psychedelic experiences with care, curiosity, and connection.

Bristol PsySocial - Psychedelic Tradition in the Modern Age: Nature, Indigeneity & Reciprocity

Come join us for an evening of fascinating discussion, yummy food, and connection.

Whether you have a background in mental health, previous experience with psychedelics, or are simply curious about other states of consciousness, all are welcome.

About this PsySocial:

We're living in a time of disconnect from the more-than-human world and place-based knowledge of our own lands. In this talk, philosopher and researcher Caspar Montgomery will question what it means to cultivate traditions and how to create modern-day psychedelic rituals that are fit for a world that is only going to get weirder. He will discuss our evolving relationship with nature, tradition, and indigenous wisdom in psychedelia and beyond.

Bristol Psychedelic Cinema Club: Dying To Know - Ram Dass & Timothy Leary

What The Psychedelic Society say about their event:

Dying to Know is an intimate portrait celebrating two very complex, controversial characters in an epic friendship that shaped a generation.

In the early 1960s, Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became the LSD guru, igniting a global counter-cultural movement and landing in prison after Nixon called him 'the most dangerous man in America.' Alpert, on the other hand, journeyed to the East, becoming Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher for an entire generation, teaching service through compassion.

With interviews spanning 50 years, Dying to Know invites us into the future, encouraging us to ponder questions about life, drugs & the biggest mystery of all: death.

We’ll be screening this movie at our upcoming psychedelic cinema club night. In a post-screening discussion, there will be an opportunity to chat about and share perspectives on the film and its key themes.
