Following the current thematic arc of the last few episodes, today we are going to explore psychedelic integration from a Jungian Psychotheropaytup framework.

Welcome, Maria Papaspyrou to the show.

Maria is an integrative psychotherapist and systemic constellations facilitator in private practice in Brighton, UK. She has given talks and published articles on the sacramental and healing properties of entheogens, supporting their re-introduction in psychotherapy. She is co-editor “Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine”, and is developing T.R.I.P.P. network, a U.K. wide psychedelic psychotherapy integration database.
