This event explores the evolving field of psychedelic integration, with a focus on group processes and the vital role of peer support in aftercare. Bringing together researchers, practitioners, and community advocates, the session highlights how integration groups help individuals make sense of psychedelic experiences and how peer-led models are shaping more ethical and accessible care.

Dr. Nadav Liam Modlin (King’s College London), lead author of a qualitative study on psychedelic integration groups. He will share findings on why people seek integration support, the benefits and challenges of group-based models, and recommendations for improving facilitation and group dynamics. Representatives from the Psychedelic Participant Advocacy Network (PsyPAN) will then present on their peer-led integration model, rooted in lived experience and participant safety. Drawing from their impact report, they will explore the emotional, social, and harm-reduction benefits of peer support, as well as the challenges of training and sustaining effective facilitators.

A panel discussion will bring all speakers together to explore how research, advocacy, and peer support intersect to inform best practices in integration. Key topics include accessibility, facilitator competence, and how peer and professional models can complement one another. The event will conclude with a live Q&A, offering participants a chance to engage directly with speakers and contribute to the conversation on the future of psychedelic integration.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERs

Ian Roullier is the co-founder of the Psychedelic Participant Advocacy Network (PsyPAN). Ian’s participation in clinical trials run by Imperial College (2015) and King’s College/Compass Pathways (2019), both examining the effect of psilocybin on depression, naturally led to his dedication to helping bring these treatments safely to all who may benefit from them. PsyPAN works with organisations providing psychedelic-assisted therapy with the aim of helping create a sector-wide model of best practice with participant wellbeing placed at its heart, and also aims to provide much-needed community and connection for people who have received these treatments.

Leonie Schneider is a mental health and psychedelics advocate, passionate about connecting authentically, building and supporting communities and being in service through her family commitment and work calling.

Following her participation in two clinical trials using oral Psilocybin and intravenous DMT for treatment-resistant depression, she co-founded the Psychedelic Participants Advocacy Network (PsyPAN). The trials enabled her to access the underlying causes of her depression and provided a new path to deep personal healing and focused professional action. She is also a Sharing Circle and Somatic Dance Facilitator for the ACER Integration Programme and a Lived Experience Expert on Prof. David Nutt’s Medical Psychedelics Working Group.

Leonie delights in contributing to a regenerative culture within which we can be deeply held in our experiences of healing whilst connecting to our deepest selves, each other and our natural environment.

Tyler McPhee is a researcher and artist whose work explores the intersections of altered states, memory, and institutional history. A former participant in the NYU’s AUD/Psilocybin study at Bellevue Hospital, he is currently working on a book entitled Set & Setting, a historical and photographic study of psychedelic therapeutic environments. He holds an MFA in sculpture from Syracuse University, BA in philosophy from the University of Maine, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He lives and works between New York City and Portland, Maine.

With an interest in psychopharmacology and clinical expertise in treating psychological trauma, at the IoPPN Liam works as a research therapist, clinical investigator and therapist trainer on studies exploring the safety and efficacy of psychedelics. Liam also conducts trauma-focused qualitative research investigating patients perspectives around symptoms, self-management, and experience of currently available and novel treatments for psychological trauma. His lectures at the IoPPN explore psychotherapeutic models in clinical trials investigating the safety and efficacy of psychedelics, the potential applications of psychedelic-assisted therapy in military populations and psychotherapy in MDD and PTSD.
