The Maudsley Psychedelic Society In-Person Integration Group: February Meeting
We are excited to invite you to attend our monthly Psychedelic Integration Group to share your story and learn more about psychedelics in a safe, warm and supportive environment.
About the Group:
The Maudsley Psychedelic Society Integration Group provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for those who have used psychedelics or are considering using them. The group is for people who are struggling to make sense of a challenging psychedelic experience, wishing to share a meaningful one or simply interested in learning more about psychedelics and meeting like-minded people.
The group is facilitated by therapists and clinicians who work with psychedelics in clinical trial settings. We aim to provide a safe, confidential, friendly and comfortable space where people can be open about their experiences and share them with others who may help them achieve a more integrated understanding. We acknowledge that recreational use of psychedelics continues despite a long history of criminalisation. The group does not encourage or condone recreational use but we do provide harm minimisation interventions and psychoeducation to those who make their own choice to do this.

Zen Yoga, 24A Camberwell Grove, London, SE5 8RE
Friday 27 February from 7:00-9:00pm.
