What is the community’s stance on harm reduction and responsible psychedelic use?
The entire objective of integration is to gain deep self awareness of the use, purpose, motivation, experiences, needs, and value of a psychedelic journey and those who journey. This includes, but is far from limited to, the type of journey chosen, frequency, facilitators providing the support, location, setting, intentions, ceremony, ritual, safety, legality, and long term integration.
Integration is designed to help journeyers make informed, conscious decisions about all aspects of their journeys both before and after, that foster health and wellbeing in all aspects of their lives.
Integration directly fosters a healthy, conscious relationship with self, the medicine, the journey, the land and people those medicines come from, and the people in our lives, who may or may not have journeyed themselves.
At EPIC we focus on acceptance, compassion, respect for and conscious decisions from a compassionate, destigmatizing acceptance of one’s choices. We focus on providing a safe, healthy, ethical and liberating container where we can process our experiences, relationships, and choices.
