What we’re about
The Toronto Psychedelic Society (TPS) is a diverse, multidisciplinary community of academics, students, researchers, artists, therapists, teachers, counselors and others with a shared interest in psychedelics. We seek to provide more opportunity for our members to learn more about the multifaceted aspects of psychedelics.
We are a community that contributes our passion, ideas and courage to help others heal, to support psychedelic science, to educate and inform, and to have the freedom to explore our own consciousness.
We have many communities of interest:
> Education: de-stigmatization, community, outreach, harm reduction
> Entrepreneurs
> Artists and musicians
> Science: psychedelic medicine , clinical research, fundraising
> Integration: therapy, consciousness, integration and psychology
> Events: communications, social media, and operations
We believe that psychedelics can be used safely when users are knowledgeable and informed. Stigmatization of users and half-baked ideas arise from ignorance. We believe in communicating fair and honest messages about the safe use of psychedelics.
We create safe spaces where we can have psychedelic conversations. We host spaces to talk about personal experiences, and sponsor supportive integration circles. We believe integration is the key to learning from psychedelic experiences.
We host a stage for the discussion and dissemination of psychedelic science. We support psychedelic research undertaken by MAPS Canada (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), Maps USA, The Beckley Foundation, The Heffter Institute and other sources of valid scientific enquiry.
We encourage engagement. We are a community of free-thinking, open- minded people. So engage with us!
Membership Guidelines

* Group meetings are to be inclusive and free of judgment
* Our meetings are substance-free
* We do not support the promotion of any enterprise that is not
aligned with our statement of intent
* Intoxicated people will be removed from meetings if they are

At Toronto Psychedelic Integration, we provide a supportive, therapeutic space for individuals to explore and integrate their psychedelic experiences. Our group focuses on fostering personal growth, navigating everyday challenges, and uncovering deeper insights within a dynamic, interactive community.
After two years of successful open-group meetings, we’re thrilled to introduce a closed-group format! This structure allows for deeper connections, trust, and continuity, as the same participants come together for six bi-weekly sessions. A consistent group fosters a sense of safety, where members can explore their experiences with greater vulnerability and openness. Over time, shared insights and reflections build upon each other, leading to more profound personal and collective growth. With this format, participants benefit from a stronger sense of community and a deeper, more integrated therapeutic process.
In our group, you are invited to show up just as you are, share your authentic experience, and explore beyond your comfort zone.

Hosted by Chris Dub & Jennifer Mya.
Do you want to:
- Open your heart to the love that's all around you, and greatly reduce stress?
- Forgive your past self, and move forward from a place of empowerment?
- Feel held as you look at negative thought patterns, so you can work through the outdated beliefs associated with them?
- Free yourself from anxiety, worry, and self-doubt, while receiving and practicing tools to pull out the roots of depression?
- Have a life changing spiritual experience?
- Feel incredible gratitude for every experience that has brought you to this point, and become the creator of your life moving forward?
Join us, dear Soul.
The time is now to rise up into your most empowered Self. To love, forgive, and practice compassion, unlearning the ways you've been taught to judge your very human emotions and thoughts. You deserve to feel the love and support that's all around you, so you can bring forward the gifts and purpose you came here to share.
The mind can be sticky, but when you experience genuine love it clarifies any confusion of who you truly are. This ceremony is an opportunity for just that: to open up to the authentic love that is innate within you, which opens up your heart, and helps you gain control of the mind.
~This ceremony will help you forgive yourself at the deepest level, as well as those who have created hardship and challenge in your life.
~Release negative thought patterns, rewiring your nervous system for peace, harmony, and balance.
~You are fully supported throughout the entire journey.
This ceremony includes the optional combination of pure MDMA along with the psilocybin mushrooms.
We have found these medicines work very synergistically together, and offer an amplified level of heart opening. The pure MDMA is optional, and the dosing for both medicines will be based upon your intentions, disposition, prior experience, and current state at the time of the ceremony.
After this ceremony you will feel more love for yourself and others, with a heightened sense of courage, strength, and integrity. You will want to make better choices, and also have the self-awareness needed to stay accountable to yourself. This level of love and clarity will emanate out to reach and impact all those closest to you.
Ceremony Preparation & Integration:
Prior to the ceremony you will receive an in-depth plant medicine workbook to help you prepare, questions to ask yourself and a recommended diet to support your experience.
We will meet as a group before the ceremony for an Intention Setting Call, to connect with each other and share our intentions for the journey. You will also receive a nervous system regulating practice that supports in expanding internal awareness, grounding, centering and overall mindfulness.
Following the Ceremony we will have an Integration Call to support and hold space for continued breakthroughs, challenges and dream weaving.
