88. Set and Setting in a Box: How Psilocybin Integration Cards Spark Real Connection

In this episode, April Pride invites listeners into her Seattle high-rise past for a raw, unscripted session with the psilocybin integration cards. You’ll meet Summer, a first-time participant, and Tilson, the voice guiding her through the experience. No scripts, no substances—just prompts that help surface real insight and emotional vulnerability. April breaks down the set and setting design of these cards and explains why most people prefer using them while microdosing (or not dosing at all). Whether you're prepping for your first group mushroom ceremony or simply looking to deepen your next dinner party, this episode helps you understand how psychedelics—and tools like these—can shift the way we relate.

🔵 Key Takeaways
