The Art of Psychedelic Group Work

This webinar will offer clinicians and trainees a grounded, practice-informed look at how psychedelic group work differs from both individual psychedelic therapy and traditional group therapy.

Group 87

SPECIAL GUEST:

Join experienced clinicians Saundra Jain, MA, PsyD and Brian Pilecki, PhD for a dynamic conversation on the evolving role of group work in psychedelic therapy. With a combined background spanning group and individual psychotherapy, ketamine retreats, and psilocybin facilitation, Saundra and Brian bring deep insight into the nuanced interplay between group dynamics and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

HOSTED BY:

In this live webinar, moderated by Fluence's Director of Product, Dan MacCombie, we’ll explore the growing field of psychedelic-assisted group therapy with two experienced Fluence trainers. Saundra Jain brings extensive experience leading psychotherapy groups and facilitating ketamine-assisted sessions in retreat settings. Brian Pilecki, a seasoned psychedelic therapist and clinical researcher, draws from his experience of group psilocybin sessions in Oregon and The Netherlands.

Together, they’ll discuss what makes group psychedelic therapy both promising and complex—from preparation to integration. The conversation will touch on differences between ketamine and psilocybin in a group format, as well as the therapeutic, ethical, and logistical considerations of working with groups.

  • Understanding the unique dynamics of psychedelic group work
