Why integration?

Integration is a crucial step in harnessing the full potential of our altered states experiences, both substance and non-substance induced. These peak experiences can offer profound insights, emotional healing, and personal growth, but without proper integration, their benefits may be short-lived or even overwhelming. Here's why integration matters:

Deepen Understanding

Integration helps you make sense of your experiences, allowing you to uncover deeper meanings and insights that can lead to transformative personal growth.

Sustained Transformation

Proper integration ensures that the insights and changes you experience are lasting, well beyond the week or month-long afterglow and instead creating lasting effects on your life.

Enhanced Wellbeing

By processing and integrating these experiences, you can achieve greater emotional balance, mental clarity, and overall well-being, leading to a more fulfilled and purposeful life.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives

By drawing on diverse disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, somatics, trauma-informed psychotherapy, art therapy, mindfulness, energetics, and nature-based traditional wisdom, integration helps you to gain a multifaceted understanding of how to bring your extraordinary experiences into everyday reality.

Navigate Challenges

Integration provides the tools and support needed to navigate the challenges and complexities that can arise from altered states, ensuring a safe and positive journey.

What our students are saying 

This course has been an amazing learning experience and gave me so many new perspectives on integration. I enriched my knowledge and my practical toolbox, I progressed into my own professional practice and personal reflection. Amanda and Sascha are very knowledgeable, very generous in sharing their experience, and have built a wonderful learning container which is a true gift for professionals in the field of psychedelics, but also to non-professionals. I warmly recommend that course !
ELSA REGAN, COACH & FACILITATOR
I was very happy with how Sascha and Amanda taught us about integration from a practical point of view while keeping it amazingly light and accessible. As someone working in this field I'm convinced we need more of these offerings. If you are interested in integration, as a professional or for your own personal growth, this would be the perfect retreat for you.
Andrés Rose, Founder of psychedelics-integration.com
I learned how this method brings together two approaches that seemed difficult to reconcile: the scientific/clinical approach and the spiritual/shamanic approach. I feel more confident in the way I practice integration and I know that the knowledge learned in this training was fundamental. The interaction between all participants is also a factor to be highlighted as it allows the creation of a support network for those who work in this area professionally.

Inspiring, supportive and informative! If you are curious about what psychedelic integration is and how you could better support yourself through transformative experiences, Amánda and Sacha will hold a beautiful space for you!
MARINA M
This has been such a deep journey into what it means to be in an altered-state and what it means to integrate all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations that surface before, during, and after the process. I can only recommend this to any professional wanting to work/expand in the integration space.
-ANA S
Your model is a beacon in this field. It's both innovative and deeply respectful of the roots from which it grows, setting a new standard for his evolving discipline.

FAQs

Is this course only for licensed, accredited, or trained practitioners?

Not at all! The Recíproco Method course is not only for seasoned health professionals like a psychologist, or psychotherapist but also those who play a pivotal role in providing care and support (such as a coach, mentor, or facilitator). Our approach is inclusive yet focused, welcoming individuals who are either already immersed in or are aspiring to step into roles that involve guiding and nurturing others. *Note that this course does not qualify you to be a psychedelic-assisted therapist, psychologist, or psychotherapist, and should be regarded as a specialized course in integration content to complement your professional work, any trainings you have, or any trainings you may acquire in the future. It serves as extension to your current knowledge for those who are already trained in other modalities and an introduction for those who wish to step into integration. 

Are there any pre-requisites to enroll?

The course is for anyone with a curiosity and willingness to explore integration. Bonus if you:
  • Have personal personal experience with altered states: either substance induced or non-substance induced altered states, such as meditation, breathwork, or others. 
  • Play a supportive role, with experience supporting others in any space-holding capacity, whether in a clinical and/or therapeutic setting, a ceremonial setting, or trip-sitting and harm reduction context. 
  • Have an openness to learning: this course is for those who are committed to integrating knowledge from different schools of thought, and are curious to learn the diversity of methods for integration of altered-states.
