Join experienced clinicians Saundra Jain, PsyD, LPC and Jayne Gumpel, LCSW for a dynamic conversation on the evolving role of group work in psychedelic therapy. With a combined background spanning group and individual psychotherapy and extensive experience facilitating ketamine-assisted group sessions, Saundra and Jayne bring deep insight into the nuanced interplay between group dynamics and non-ordinary states of consciousness. 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.

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. Jayne Gumpel, a seasoned group facilitator and therapist, brings a wealth of clinical insight from years of working with ketamine groups and leading therapy trainings on relational skills and presence..

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. 

This event will benefit clinicians and students interested in:

• Understanding the unique dynamics of psychedelic group work

• Comparing group vs. individual preparation, dosing, and integration

• Gaining practical insight into medicine-specific approaches in group settings

• Learning best practices and common challenges from seasoned practitioners

The conversation will conclude with a live Q&A.
