Psychedelics have never been more accessible, yet many people are still entering these experiences without the preparation, support, or integration practices needed to navigate them safely and intentionally. This panel brings together five experienced facilitators, guides, therapists, and psychonauts to explore what safe, supported, and embodied journeywork can actually look like, while sharing grounded insights on approaching Sacred Earth Medicines with intention, reverence, and responsibility.

Topics the Panel Will Cover

01

Psychedelic preparation and set & setting

How to prepare your body, mind, and space before a journey for the deepest and safest experience.

02

Navigating challenging experiences

Practical techniques for working through difficult moments during a psychedelic journey — from a therapist and a ceremonial guide.

03

Music as medicine: curating the sonic journey

How the right soundtrack can guide, deepen, and transform a psychedelic experience — insights from a musician and facilitator.

04

Somatic practices for grounding and integration

Breathwork, body awareness, and movement techniques to stay centred during a journey and integrate the experience afterward.

05

Space holding for yourself and others

What it really means to hold space — whether you're sitting for a friend, supporting a partner, or deepening your own solo practice.

06

Integration: bridging the journey into daily life

Turning psychedelic insights into lasting change — the practices and mindsets that make the difference between a peak experience and real transformation.
