Fall Series
Groups for Expanded 
States of Consciousness

Welcome to Our Groups

This fall, join an intimate community exploration of expanded states of consciousness and the wisdom they offer for healing, growth, and transformation. These groups are open to those with lived experience in altered states through dreams, meditation, psychedelic journeys, or ceremonial practices.

​

​Our groups offer a space for intentional self-discovery, designed for exploring expanded states of awareness and seeking meaning in their experiences. Each group is a safe, respectful space where participants can share, reflect, and connect with others on a similar path.

 

While spiritual emergence and breakthroughs can be deeply meaningful, these groups are not clinical crisis spaces. If you are currently in acute emotional distress or in need of crisis stabilization, we recommend working with an individual therapist before joining a group.

G.R.O.W 
Psychedelic Integration 
Circle

Grow Roots of Wisdom – G.R.O.W. is a supportive, intentional space for those who have experienced expanded states through ceremony, therapy, or personal exploration. Together, we explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical ways to integrate psychedelic insights into daily life.

This circle is ideal if you’ve experienced — or are preparing for — journeys with ketamine, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, or other entheogens, and want a community that understands the depth and complexity of these experiences. This group is a space for personal healing and exploration, not professional training.

 

​Why join:​​

  • Transform fleeting insights into lasting growth

  • Learn practical integration tools

  • Share in a respectful and confidential circle 

  • Participate/Drop in at your pace.

You will:

  • Learn practical and spiritual integration tools

  • Connect with others walking a similar path

  • Bridge the gap between profound insight and daily living

This group is not a crisis space. If you are in acute distress, we recommend individual therapy before joining.

Schedule:

  • Free Online Intro: Sun, Aug 31 | 6:00–7:30 PM

  • Sept 18 | Oct 9 | Oct 30 | Nov 20 | Dec 11 | Thursdays 6:30–8:00 PM (in person)

Contribution:

  • Suggested: $25–$35 per session

  • Prepay for 4 sessions: $90 (10% off)

  • Donation-based to keep the work accessible while honoring the energy and preparation it takes to hold this space.

About Facilitator

Drawing from somatic, psychodynamic, cross-cultural, shamanic, and Sufi traditions, Zumrad Masar, LCSW holds space for meaning-making, integration, and embodied insight. Working with expanded states of consciousness — whether accessed through psychedelics, deep meditation, trauma release, or dreams — can open us to profound healing, insight, and transformation. These experiences can also be destabilizing or confusing without the right support.
