Themes that are shared in both the momentous psychedelic realm and depth psychology studies suggest his innovative grasp of the profundity of consciousness is exceptionally relevant to decoding the psychedelic experience. It is also useful for potentiating their ability to catalyze both personal growth and collective development when paralleled with active psychedelic integration. In this presentation we will examine the foundations of the psychedelic integration process through core concepts of depth psychology, and how solidifying potentially fleeting psychedelic experiences through ongoing integration practice can amplify and sustain both individual and collective healing and the undertaking of human transformation.
