18: Exploring the Ethics of Integration w/Dr. Sandra Dreisbach

We spoke with Dr. Sandra Dreisbach, Director of Ethics at Nectara about the ethics of psychedelic integration. Ethics isn't often put side by side with integration, but it should be to help ensure the integrity of retreats and creating safer and more compassionate support systems for journeyers.

In this episode, Sandra and Pascal explore a few of the many facets of ethics and integration and offer some perspectives for journeyers curious about integration and for services providers in the psychedelic space.
