Introducing 'Synthesis Circles'

Join our virtual ceremony space for psychedelic-focused exploration—inviting you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within.

At Synthesis, we believe that psychedelics are far more than tools to serve clinical outcomes or personal breakthroughs. These sacred medicines serve as catalysts for deeply transformative experiences, opening pathways to greater purpose, awakening our capacity for mystical experiences, and reconnecting us with our essential nature. In these globally challenging times, they remind us that we are an integral part of a greater whole, inviting us to live more virtuously and purposefully in relationship with ourselves, our communities, and our planet.

 

Having guided over 1,100 participants through safe and legal psychedelic journeys and trained more than 500 practitioners, we’ve seen that the potential for true transformation depends greatly on how we prepare for the journey, hold the container for its unfolding, and, equally importantly, integrate its insights into everyday life.

 

This is why we're hosting Synthesis Circles—a series of intimate online retreat experiences that bring together community, education, and ceremonial practice in service of personal and collective wholeness. While mainstream narratives often focus solely on compounds and clinical outcomes, we are dedicated to holding space for the multi-faceted dimensions of insight and meaning these medicines offer. 

 

Through these online retreat experiences, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Discover holistic and practical tools for safe and meaningful psychedelic experiences, including preparation, harm reduction, and integration practices that enhance both the safety and effectiveness of your journey.
  • Experience transformative modalities such as sound healing, breathwork, and somatic techniques designed to deepen your connection to your body and the mystical dimensions of life.
  • Connect with our experienced facilitators, along with occasional guests such as past retreat participants and thought leaders, who offer spiritual, philosophical, and nature-based frameworks for preparation and meaning-making.

Join our virtual ceremony space for psychedelic-focused exploration, creating a safe space where people from around the world can plug into the pulse of personal and collective transformation—inviting you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within.

About This Experience
 

Join us on Sunday, February 9th, for an intimate 75-minute online experience divided into two segments:

PART ONE – Psychedelic Retreat Q&A: 

 

Bring your questions about psychedelic group retreats. Topics include:

  • How do I know if I am suited for psilocybin?
  • What does your health screening process entail?
  • What are the common outcomes and challenges of retreat participants?
  • What’s the schedule for a 5-day retreat like?
  • And your questions, too!

PART TWO – Sacred Sound Healing & Breathwork Practice With Live Music: 

 

Immerse yourself in a guided sound-healing and breathwork session led by our Lead Facilitator, Costanza di Prisco, with live music from Juan Tepui, Synthesis Music Facilitator. This experiential practice is carefully designed to cultivate inner awareness and offer a glimpse of the powerful practices we incorporate in our psychedelic group retreats.
