Psychedelic Integration for Lasting Connection
ACER Integration is an ongoing program to help you sustain connection to yourself, to others, and to the living world.
Why ACER?
Something opened in you. Through a psychedelic experience, a period of therapy, or a moment that shifted your perspective. For a time, things felt clearer. You felt more present, more honest, more alive. Then life resumed, and gradually that sense of connection became harder to hold.
Dr. Rosalind Watts' research showed that experiences like these can deepen connectedness to self, others, and the wider world. But in the absence of structures that support what follows, that openness fades. ACER was created to change that. Drawing on psychological theory and the wisdom of the natural world, it provides the ongoing environment in which connection can become something stable and lived, not just something remembered.
What We Do
ACER Integration is a guided yearlong program held within a global online community. Each month, you gather around a new theme drawn from tree archetypes — a rhythm you can stay with as the year unfolds. Oak in July invites you to accept all parts of yourself. Elder in December opens space to connect with ancestry and what came before. Through reflection, breathwork, and shared experience, you build practices that help what you've already touched become something steady and lived.
The A.C.E.R. model helps you:
Accept emotions Connect to meaning Embody insights Restore balance with nature's rhythms
ACER is non-prescriptive. You engage with what feels most aligned to you, and this might change from month-to-month and you're always in control of your journey.
Who is ACER For?
Most people come to ACER having already had a meaningful experience, and finding it difficult to carry it forward on their own. Some join to integrate their own psychedelic experiences. Others are therapists, facilitators, or practitioners looking for a community that holds them as they continue holding others. Often, it's both.
Therapists and practitioners come to feel witnessed and supported through periods of change, to build relationships within a global network, and to develop knowledge and skills they can bring to their own work.
Those in integration come to find more resourced ways of being, reduce the isolation that often follows a significant experience, and to do the ongoing work of living from what they've already seen.

Resources
Alongside the year-long ACER Integration cycle, there are resources you can access at any time.
The Pearl Protocol offers guided imagery journeys developed from Dr. Watts's clinical research, available for personal use or with clients. Superblooming the Aftermath is a tree journey and film for anyone moving through rupture, drawing on how ecosystems find their way back after fire. And the Watts Connectedness Scale is a psychometric tool you can use to measure your own connectedness to self, others, and natural world.
