Have you ever had a weird experience with psychedelics, an occurrence that seems at odds with the consensus understanding of how reality is supposed to work?

Are you open to learning about the types of anomalous experiences that other psychedelic journeyers have encountered?

Have you, perhaps, already concluded that such experiences are impossible?

The topic of our November public meetup is **"Anomalous Experiences with Psychedelics"** and, however you answered the above questions, we hope you'll join us!

The presentation, led by MCPS member Brian L, will be an exploration of the types of strange experiences that people have reported stemming from altered states of consciousness, including:

Psychic experiences such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition
Encounters with non-human beings
Communication with the dead
Out-of-body experiences
Awareness of other dimensions or universes
Mystical experiences
Past-life memories

Bring your own experiences to share or questions to pose, as there will be time for discussion during and after the presentation. We'll bring the tea and light snacks. This event is open to the public and free of charge.

Meeting Room 1 is on the ground level of the Rockville Memorial Library, just inside the southern entrance. The library is walking distance from the Rockville red-line station, and the nearby parking ramps offer 2 free hours of usage on Sundays.

**About The Peer Integration Circle**

The peer psychedelic integration circle is in collaboration with Keith Miller, LCSW-C and [Calliope Health](https://calliope.health/). Integration circles will typically be held on the last Tuesday of each month. Because of the holidays, we will move November's meeting to December 3rd, and December's meeting will be held January 7th. Additional information is available on the [Calliope Health site](https://calliope.health/psychedelic-integration-group/).

This group is for those who have already had experiences with psychedelics. Other groups would be more suitable for those that have not had psychedelic experiences.

***Please note!!! RSVP is required for this event.***

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 Peer Integration Circle is a group meeting where people take turns listening to and sharing their experiences, thoughts, and feelings relating to psychedelic integration.

**Cost**
Free

**Facilitators**
Keith Miller, LCSW-C and Harry Fox will co-facilitate

**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 and water will be provided
* Please plan to attend the full duration of the event. Late arrivals and early departures disrupt the safety of our space. Doors will close at 6:55pm
* There is a 15-person limit for this event, so that everyone will have the 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 all people within our circle with courtesy, compassion, and respect, regardless of age, ability, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and 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 standpoint.
* 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 you not to show up without registration.*
* 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 concerns about accessibility, please contact the facilitator at the email below.
* 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/).
