About Our Integration Circles:
Psychedelics are great tools for exploring consciousness and furthering our self-understanding. These experiences can be some of the most potent in our life and require some time to weave back into our model of the world and how we see ourselves in it. No matter how "good" or "bad" these experiences can be, they are most transformative when we take the time to reflect and integrate them together.
The Flying Sage is welcoming you to join us at a very special Psychedelic Integration Circle to celebrate our anniversary of circles at Qi.
About This Special Integration Event:
A year ago we approached Qi Integrated Health with the idea to run integration circles together and here we are, 1 year later and we have run a circle every other week since! We are grateful for this partnership and excited to celebrate our integration circle anniversary in style with Kiem Schutter as our special guest facilitator.
This event will not be contained to the confines of a circle. Join us for an integration circle and art event followed by a guided breathwork session transitioning into ecstatic dance. Together we will set a collective intention to find emotional memory pieces and map them onto spots of tension and stress within the body allowing us to unlock a free flow of whole self. The purpose of this event will be to help integrate through breath, dance and celebration.
Schedule:
7:00pm - 8:00pm - Introductions & Integration Circle
8:00pm - 9:00pm - Driftwood Art Activity (bring your favorite art supplies)
9:15pm-11:00pm - Breathwork & Ecstatic Dance Party
** You are welcome to attend for the whole event, or to arrive around 9:00pm for the breathwork and ecstatic dance. Please avoid arriving between 7:15-8:50pm. If you are coming for the whole event, try to arrive 10 mins early to settle in to the space. We will aim to start right at 7:00pm.
Things To Bring:
Blanket for comfort during breathwork ceremony
Art supplies (pens or paint) if you have some handy
A share dish or snack for later in the evening during and after the ecstatic dance
We will be providing some driftwood for you to paint on but if you happen to find a nice piece of driftwood between now and then, please bring that too!
If it is your first time joining one of our Integration Circles, please make sure to carefully read through our Integration Circle Agreements found here.
