Workshops for Preparation and
Integration of Psychedelic Experiences
These workshops bring to life the principles taught in our Ground Up Psychotherapy Psychedelic-Informed Psychotherapy (PIP) training.
This is a deeply powerful, visceral, and well-contained process that helps participants prepare for future psychedelic experiences, while also supporting the integration of journeys that have already taken place.
At Ground Up Psychotherapy, we do not provide, administer, or facilitate substances. Our work is focused entirely on the psychological and emotional preparation for, and integration of, psychedelic experiences.
Preparing through direct experience
What Is Psychedelic Preparation?
Whether you are preparing for ayahuasca, psilocybin, MDMA, or other plant medicine experiences, our approach has been refined over many years through work with hundreds of participants.
At Ground Up Psychotherapy, we trust the inner-directed healing intelligence of psychedelic medicines. Our preparation process helps participants develop a direct relationship with the deeper patterns most likely to emerge during a psychedelic experience — inherited beliefs, relational dynamics, unresolved experiences, emotional imprints, and inter-generational influences.
Through structured experiential processes, participants come into direct, embodied contact with these patterns and experiences before the journey itself. Rather than waiting for these forces to arise solely within the medicine experience, the preparation offers a prelude to the psychedelic journey itself — building familiarity, capacity, and trust in what may emerge.
Through these experiential processes, participants develop the capacity to:
- Recognise underlying emotional, behavioural, and relational patterns
- Stay present with emotional intensity rather than becoming overwhelmed
- Build nervous system regulation and emotional resilience
- Develop greater relational steadiness during activation
- Increase their capacity to meet psychedelic experiences with coherence and containment
By strengthening the ability to remain present with whatever emerges, participants are better prepared to navigate psychedelic experiences safely, meaningfully, and with reduced risk of harm.
Integration
What is Psychedelic Integration?
Integration is the process which enables psychedelic experiences to be metabolized for meaningful and lasting change. Without integration, powerful experiences can feel fragmented, confusing, or disconnected from everyday life. With thoughtful support, insights and emotional releases can be translated into practical changes in relationships, behaviour, and self-understanding.
Through embodied, relational processing, we help participants to stay in relationship with whatever they have encountered — translating insight into embodied change, behavioural shifts, and relational repair.
The result is often greater coherence, clarity of direction, and psychological integration.
