Couples, Teams & Circles: Group Psilocybin Work
While solo journeys can be profound, there’s another way to work with psilocybin that taps into something just as ancient and vital: togetherness.
Across cultures and throughout history, psychedelics have been used not only for individual healing but for community connection. In today’s legal psilocybin spaces, we’re beginning to remember this.
Why Journey Together?
Psilocybin has a unique ability to soften our defenses, amplify empathy, and awaken a felt sense of interconnection. In a group setting, this can open the door to:
Deeper relational insight – Seeing yourself through the eyes of others, or recognizing long-held patterns in how you show up in relationship.
Collective nervous system regulation – When we co-regulate in a container of presence and trust, it can rewire relational safety on a foundational level.
Shared emotional catharsis – There’s something powerful about releasing grief, awe, laughter, or wonder in the company of others who are also open.
Strengthened bonds – Whether with partners, teams, or chosen family, going through a journey together can build intimacy, trust, and shared meaning.
Types of Group Work with Psilocybin
Group journeys can take many forms:
Couples journeys – A safe space to explore patterns, deepen emotional attunement, and reconnect to shared values.
Team or leadership retreats – Especially in mission-driven spaces, psilocybin can help clear communication blocks, increase creativity, and align vision on a soul level.
Friendship circles or chosen family – For groups who already have a strong foundation, shared journeys can mark rites of passage, repair ruptures, or simply deepen connection.
Affinity-based groups and communities – Those who share a core identity or experience (e.g. caregivers, artists, neurodivergent folks, or those healing from divorce) may find it powerful to explore within a group that “gets it.”
Is Group Work Right for Everyone?
Group settings aren’t ideal for every stage of healing. Those navigating acute trauma or high social anxiety may benefit from individual work first. But for many, once a sense of personal safety is established, being witnessed—and witnessing others—becomes a vital part of the path.
It’s also essential that group work is facilitated with care. That means thoughtful participant screening, consent-based agreements, and skilled facilitators who know how to hold both the seen and unseen dynamics that arise in relational spaces.
Facilitating Connection
As a licensed facilitator, I hold space for group psilocybin journeys of various doses—from gentle microdosing-style sessions to deeper, transformative experiences. Whether you’re a couple wanting to reconnect, a creative team seeking alignment, or a group of friends marking a meaningful life chapter, I work collaboratively with you to shape a safe, intentional container that meets your goals and nervous systems.
We’re Meant to Heal Together
In many ways, psilocybin in community isn’t a new trend—it’s a return. A remembering of something older than any of us: the healing that happens when we’re seen, softened, and open together. Whether in pairs or in circles, psilocybin can help us peel back the layers of separation and remember that connection is medicine, too.
