What is psychedelic integration?

Hmm.

That's a very good question, and there's not one simple answer for that.

Um, I always give a similar answer when asked this question, is that I tend not to directly answer this question because, uh, many times defining in a very short or specific way what psychedelic integration is becomes a very biased answer, and then we're missing out other things that could also be included under the label of psychedelic integration.

Maybe the only thing that we, we could all agree about what is integration is that that's what we do after the experience.

Yeah, so after a psychedelic experience, those activities, those things that we do or that we don't do, that would have an impact on how we integrate our experiences.

So when, when trying to answer or to define integration, I've taken a more somehow nuanced or complex approach, trying to define different aspects that, uh, integration can imply or different angles on which we can look at integration.

Can you talk about the dynamic between preparation and integration, what role preparation plays in our integration, or, and maybe even, you know, vice versa, if we're doing multiple journeys over time, what role our integration plays in our preparation? Just talk about that dynamic a little bit.
