That can feel painful or lonely when we’ ve had meaningful journeys (and also when we’ve had disappointing journe ys!). Healing – especially from interpersonal injuries – deepens when done in community. The same is true of personal and spiritual growth.

Dr. Menard’s book\, "Results May Vary: Hope & Healing through Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy" is schedu led for release in 2026.

Because t raditional customs restricted women from singing in front of men\, combine d with her own personal blockages around singing with women\, Esther’s v oice remained quiet during her youth. However\, her personal and musical j ourney eventually led her back to the songs and prayers of her heritage. R ediscovering these sacred melodies brought her heart immense joy\, sparkin g a passion to share them with the world. \nToday\, Esther performs these joyful soul-melodies and niggunim at synagogues and gatherings across the San Francisco Bay Area. Esther is currently pursuing an Associate Degree i n Music at the college.

Psychedelic experiences often bring us right to that edg e. This Jewish psychedelic integration circle offers a space to meet those moments together\, within the safety of Jewish community and the containe r of Jewish teachings. Together\, we make meaning of what we’ve seen and felt\, and begin the slow\, human work of weaving those insights into our lives.Each monthly\, drop-in circle includes grounding and intention-sett ing\, a brief orientation\, an experiential practice (meditation\, movemen t\, somatic work\, or parts work)\, and small- and large-group sharing. Th is is a supported peer group rather than psychotherapy\, designed to foste r connection\, reflection\, and practical integration.Note: This is an aff inity space exclusively for people who identify as Jewish—by heritage or conversion—including those who are part-Jewish. Those who do not meet t hese criteria will not be admitted.

That can feel painful or lonely when we’ ve had meaningful journeys (and also when we’ve had disappointing journe ys!). Healing – especially from interpersonal injuries – deepens when done in community. The same is true of personal and spiritual growth. Even the most joyful experiences are best metabolized when witnessed. Together \, we become a mosaic – a colorful and varied community\, greater togeth er than the sum of our parts.Mosaic is a psychedelic integration circle f or self-identified women. Here\, you’ll find a supportive space to integ rate the lessons\, challenges\, and wisdom from psychedelic journeys so th at you can apply those learnings to everyday life. Together\, we’ll seek to understand our psychedelic experiences and make profound insights acce ssible and actionable.This is a drop-in\, monthly supported peer group rat her than a psychotherapy group. We create space for sharing stories and ex periences\, receiving support\, and forging genuine connections. Meditatio n\, mindful movement\, somatic practices\, Internal Family Systems parts w ork\, and creative tools are all part of the fun.Whether you’re new to i ntegration or looking to deepen your practice\, you’ll find a supportive community here. Note: You’re invited to bring an object for our commun ity altar that represents some aspect of your journey.Dr. Lyssa Menard is a psychologist\, psychedelic therapist\, and professor (Northwestern Univ ersity Medical School) with specialties in Integrative Medicine\, trauma t reatment\, and health psychology. She is the founder of Strategies for Cha nge\, a coaching and consulting firm promoting personal\, organizational\, and leadership change and has been a consultant to a wide range of media outlets\, including CNN\, New York Times\, and WebMD. She brings this vari ed background to her integration groups\, facilitating growth and change t hrough a multi-media concoction of integrative therapeutic approaches (min dful movement\, creative arts\, somatic healing and embodiment\, social co nnection\, and spiritual ritual).

Dr. Menard’s book\, "Results May Vary: Hope & Healing through Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy" is schedu led for release in 2026. As a beneficiary of excellent (and also\, sadly\, lackluster) psychedelic treatment\, she is a skeptic of the field\, a cri tic when necessary\, and a true believer in the healing possibilities offe red by these medicines. She serves as an advocate for community and patien t education and fights for legal access to psychedelics for health and hea ling. As a recent transplant to California's Bay Area\, Dr. Menard spends a ridiculous amount of time at The Berkeley Alembic\, cavorting in nature \, worshipping the sun\, and developing community.

That can feel painful or lonely when we’ ve had meaningful journeys (and also when we’ve had disappointing journe ys!). Healing – especially from interpersonal injuries – deepens when done in community. The same is true of personal and spiritual growth. Even the most joyful experiences are best metabolized when witnessed. Together \, we become a mosaic – a colorful and varied community\, greater togeth er than the sum of our parts.Mosaic is a psychedelic integration circle f or self-identified women. Here\, you’ll find a supportive space to integ rate the lessons\, challenges\, and wisdom from psychedelic journeys so th at you can apply those learnings to everyday life. Together\, we’ll seek to understand our psychedelic experiences and make profound insights acce ssible and actionable.This is a drop-in\, monthly supported peer group rat her than a psychotherapy group. We create space for sharing stories and ex periences\, receiving support\, and forging genuine connections. Meditatio n\, mindful movement\, somatic practices\, Internal Family Systems parts w ork\, and creative tools are all part of the fun.Whether you’re new to i ntegration or looking to deepen your practice\, you’ll find a supportive community here. Note: You’re invited to bring an object for our commun ity altar that represents some aspect of your journey.Dr. Lyssa Menard is a psychologist\, psychedelic therapist\, and professor (Northwestern Univ ersity Medical School) with specialties in Integrative Medicine\, trauma t reatment\, and health psychology. She is the founder of Strategies for Cha nge\, a coaching and consulting firm promoting personal\, organizational\, and leadership change and has been a consultant to a wide range of media outlets\, including CNN\, New York Times\, and WebMD. She brings this vari ed background to her integration groups\, facilitating growth and change t hrough a multi-media concoction of integrative therapeutic approaches (min dful movement\, creative arts\, somatic healing and embodiment\, social co nnection\, and spiritual ritual).

Dr. Menard’s book\, "Results May Vary: Hope & Healing through Psychedelic-assisted Psychotherapy" is schedu led for release in 2026. As a beneficiary of excellent (and also\, sadly\, lackluster) psychedelic treatment\, she is a skeptic of the field\, a cri tic when necessary\, and a true believer in the healing possibilities offe red by these medicines. She serves as an advocate for community and patien t education and fights for legal access to psychedelics for health and hea ling. As a recent transplant to California's Bay Area\, Dr. Menard spends a ridiculous amount of time at The Berkeley Alembic\, cavorting in nature \, worshipping the sun\, and developing community.

Without support\, it can be hard to make sense o f what happened\, let alone carry it forward in a meaningful way.Yirah—o ften translated as awe\, reverence\, or a kind of holy trembling—is the feeling of standing at the edge of something vast\, meaningful\, and not e ntirely knowable. Psychedelic experiences often bring us right to that edg e. This Jewish psychedelic integration circle offers a space to meet those moments together\, within the safety of Jewish community and the containe r of Jewish teachings. Together\, we make meaning of what we’ve seen and felt\, and begin the slow\, human work of weaving those insights into our lives.Each monthly\, drop-in circle includes grounding and intention-sett ing\, a brief orientation\, an experiential practice (meditation\, movemen t\, somatic work\, or parts work)\, and small- and large-group sharing. Th is is a supported peer group rather than psychotherapy\, designed to foste r connection\, reflection\, and practical integration.Note: This is an aff inity space exclusively for people who identify as Jewish—by heritage or conversion—including those who are part-Jewish. Those who do not meet t hese criteria will not be admitted. To support safety and connection in a time of deep division\, we also hold a clear and intentional container: we do not engage in political discussion here. The focus is on integration\, presence\, and community.Whether you’re new to Jewish practice or findi ng your way back in\, whether your journeys have been expansive\, messy\, or disorienting—you’re welcome here.
