The Space
The journey doesn’t end when the experience concludes—it begins when we bring those insights home. Join the Psychedelic Society of Arkansas (PSoAR) for our monthly Integration Circle. This month, we are gathering virtually via Google Meet to ensure our community across the Natural State can connect, reflect, and ground together from the comfort of home.

Integration is the essential process of “weaving the wisdom” gained in expanded states of consciousness into the fabric of our everyday lives. Whether you are navigating a recent experience, reflecting on a journey from years ago, or simply looking to learn from the shared stories of others, this circle is held for you.

What to Expect
We strive to create a “brave space” rooted in empathy, confidentiality, and peer support. Our flow typically includes:

Opening & Grounding: A brief guided breathwork or centering practice.

The Circle: An opportunity to share your experiences, challenges, or “aha” moments in a non-judgmental environment.

Reflective Listening: A time to witness others and offer supportive presence.

Closing: Practical grounding tools to carry with you.

Supporting the Circle
PSoAR is a community-funded organization dedicated to providing safe spaces for exploration and healing. While donations are never required to attend, they are deeply appreciated. Your contributions help us cover platform costs, organize future community events, and keep these circles accessible to everyone in Arkansas.

How to Donate: Cash or GiveButter.

How to Prepare
Since we are meeting virtually, we invite you to create a small “sacred space” wherever you are:

  • Environment: Find a quiet, private spot where you feel safe to speak openly.

  • Comfort: Grab a cozy blanket, your favorite herbal tea, or a glass of water.

  • Tools: Have a journal and pen nearby to capture any insights.

  • Presence: We encourage keeping cameras on to foster connection, but honor your comfort level.

Our Values & Safety
PSoAR is a peer-led community organization. This circle is for peer support and educational integration purposes only. We do not encourage or provide illicit substances, nor do we provide medical or clinical advice.

RSVP on Facebook

Our very first gathering was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. The openness. The vulnerability. The laughter. The depth of conversation. We left feeling inspired and truly humbled by the love and support each of you brought into the room.

What we’re building together matters and we feel it.

To keep that beautiful momentum flowing, we’re coming together on March 16th at 7:00 PM for a creative, colorful evening as we host our Tie-Dye T-Shirt Making Night in honor of Albert Hofmann’s LSD Bicycle Day.

A celebration of curiosity, history, creativity, and community.

$30 per shirt
Includes:
• Premium Next Level tri-blend T-shirt
• Custom tie-dye experience
• Our Psychedelic Society logo printed on your shirt
• All supplies provided

Payment options:

We will also be hosting a raffle during the event, so come ready for a little extra fun and play.

March 16, 2026 | 6:00–9:00 PM
📍 The Ravington, 293 N Main St., Centerton, AR 72719

Join PSoAR for an evening of community, creativity, and conservation as we gather to build bluebird houses — just in time to install them before nesting season begins.

In the spirit of our motto, “Make a little birdhouse in your soul,” we’ll spend the evening building homes for the beautiful bluebird featured in our logo — a symbol of renewal, hope, and stewardship.

We’re also honored to welcome a representative from the Bella Vista Bluebird Society, who will share about their local bluebird conservation efforts and how we can help support thriving bluebird populations in Northwest Arkansas.

The “return” from a psychedelic experience can be a vulnerable, beautiful, and sometimes confusing time. If you missed our December Education Night, we’ve got you covered—the recording of “After the Trip: Supporting Someone You Love After a Psychedelic Experience” is now available!

April 19, 2026
3:00–6:00 PM
📍 Pedal It Forward (3902 NW Wishing Spring Rd, Bentonville, AR 72712

Join the Psychedelic Society of Arkansas on April 19th from 3:00–6:00 PM for a Bicycle Day celebration at Pedal It Forward (3902 NW Wishing Spring Rd, Bentonville, AR 72712).

Bicycle Day commemorates April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann intentionally experienced the effects of LSD for the first time and rode his bicycle home from his laboratory—an iconic moment in psychedelic history that has become a day of reflection, curiosity, and community within psychedelic culture.

🚲 We’ll circle up at Pedal It Forward, drop off our chili (in crockpots ideally) head out for a group ride, and return for a community Chili Cookoff. This will be a fundraiser with proceeds supporting PSoAR’s educational programming and outreach efforts.

🎨 Want to ride in style? We’ll host a tie-dye t-shirt gathering the week before so you can show up in full color. Here’s a sneak peek of the design. Stay tuned for details!
