Join Our Spiritual Integration Circle 🌑

The New Moon Spiritual Integration Circle is a local, in-person group in Østerbro, Copenhagen, for those seeking peer support and community following an experience with Expanded States of Consciousness (ESC).

This circle is a safe space for those who identify as women, non-binary, queer, and/or a person of colour, and is explicitly inclusive of all ethnicities, genders, and sexualities.

We will gather on the New Moon (when external energies are low) alongside like-minded souls to speak, listen, be seen, and be understood. We will hold space for one another in a “safe enough” container to create a sense of community and belonging essential for the integration of our expanded experiences.

N.B. This Circle is not a replacement for or alternative to individual or group therapy, but a supplement to our integration efforts following an ESC.

Core Rules for the Circle

These guidelines establish a “safe enough” container, allowing participants to share vulnerable, non-ordinary, or potentially confusing experiences without fear of criticism or harm.

  1. Strict Confidentiality: Everything shared in the circle remains in the circle. Participants agree not to discuss specific identities, stories, or sensitive details of others outside the group. This is vital for building trust and ensuring we can speak openly about experiences that may be stigmatised or deeply personal.
  2. No Substance Use: Participants must attend the meeting sober (i.e., not under the influence of any substances, including alcohol or cannabis). We focus on processing past experiences whilst grounded in a non-altered state, which is essential for effective integration.
  3. Non-Judgement and Compassion: All experiences—whether transcendental, challenging, scary, or confusing—are welcomed and held with acceptance. We aim to remove any shame or fear of disclosing difficult or non-ordinary mental states, which is essential for normalising our experiences.
  4. No Advice, Interpretation, or Fixing: We listen attentively and empathetically, but do not offer unsolicited advice, clinical interpretations, or psychological diagnoses. This allows each person to make their own meaning and embody their own wisdom from their experiences.
  5. Focus on “I” Statements and Personal Experience: When sharing or reflecting, we focus only on our own feelings and insights, rather than generalising or intellectualising for others. This ensures our energy remains focused on our individual integration within the shared space.
