Trauma-informed Online Psychedelic Preparation & Integration Circle
Psychedelic Sharing Circles
Sharing circles create a space to express and process profound, difficult and often ineffable experiences through the action of collective witnessing.
​
‘In a circle of trust, we find safe space to nurture personal and communal integrity – and the courage it takes to act upon it.
Parker.J.Palmer
​
‘The circle is a sacred symbol of life…individual parts within the circle connect with every other; and what happens to one, or what one part does, affects all within the circle.’
Black Elk (Oglala Lakota spiritual elder)
​
‘A circle creates a sacred centre and all those gathered around the centre have direct access to one another. There’s no hiding, no pecking order.’
Christina Baldwin
Trauma Informed Circles
TOPIC facilitators understand trauma’s physiological and psychological impacts. This enables us to navigate triggering moments, regulate group dynamics, and foster resilience.
If you have a difficult experience within our circle, we want to know about it. We intend to create a safe and enjoyable experience for you.

What is Welcome at TOPIC
TOPIC welcomes the full spectrum of expanded state experiences, without hierarchy or judgement. You may share profound mystical encounters, therapeutic breakthroughs, emotional releases, recovered memories, or reconciliations with shadow.
What matters most isn't the content or intensity of the experience, but the rare and precious opportunity to weave these diverse threads into meaningful dialogue within an intentional community.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ You might even discover you have more in common with people than you imagined!
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy
The facilitators at TOPIC are different, with myriad approaches underpinning our professional work, but we are all trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT). PAT combines carefully administered psychedelic substances or Holotropic Breathwork with clinical therapy to encourage and support profound healing processes.
Unlike recreational or experimental use, this clinical approach employs specific protocols where trained practitioners guide participants through their experiences, helping them navigate challenging material and integrate meaningful revelations into lasting change.
This treatment paradigm has shown remarkable promise for conditions including treatment-resistant depression, Anorexia, PTSD, end-of-life anxiety, and addiction, offering new pathways for healing where conventional approaches have proven insufficient.
Who You Might Be
You may be a mental health professional, a seasoned ‘psychonaut’, someone setting out on a journey of self discovery, or you may have taken part in a psychedelic clinical trial and need more time to process your experience. Inexperienced, highly experienced, in-between, sceptical, evangelical, just don’t know…. You are welcome at TOPIC.
