NEARLY HALF THE POPULATION
HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT ALTERED-STATE EXPERIENCE
Whether through spontaneous insight, profound life events, meditation, or breathwork, altered-state experiences are part of everyday life for many. Yet most don’t realise how common — or impactful — these experiences can be.
A recent Australian-led international study (2024)* found that a notable 45% of people reported having at least one non-drug altered-state experience — experiences not induced by psychedelics or other pharmacological substances.
THE QUESTION MANY ASK
These experiences are more common than most people realise yet they often bring deep questions, unexpected shifts in perspective, and lingering confusion about how they shape relationships and daily life.
Most people are left wondering:
“What do I do with this now?”
The shifts and insights can be powerful and sometimes disorienting.
While often harmless, failing to integrate powerful experiences can result in confusion, destabilisation, or deeper emotional challenges.
That’s why integration matters..
WHAT IS INTEGRATION?
That’s where integration comes in.
Integration is the process of making sense of meaningful experiences so they become part of your ongoing life, not just passing moments.
Integration means making sense of these powerful inner experiences and weaving the insights and energy into your everyday reality.
Integration helps you:
Stabilise emotional shifts
Reflect on meaning and impact
Apply insights into personal growth, relationships, and daily life
It’s a personal process. But, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
THE INTEGRATION EXPERIMENT
We’re offering something different, a flexible approach you help shape.
The Integration Experiment is a living, evolving process, open-source by design.
We start with principles drawn from research, lived experience, and clinical practice. Then refine it together through shared experience and ongoing feedback.
The result? An adaptable, responsive system that supports individual needs and grows with the community. Not a fixed doctrine, but a guided journey that evolves in real time.
