Otto Maier

  • Integration Specialist
  • Depth Psychology
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Somatics & Decolonizing the Psyche

Otto’s work focuses on helping others process both ecstatic and traumatic experiences through a blend of depth psychology, IFS, non-pathology, somatics, and the decolonizing of the psyche. A deep student of the liminal and luminous dimensions of human change, he works from the notion that the soul will not conform to conventional notions of well-being or social norms, as Thomas Moore wrote, “The soul will only be revealed through mystery and madness.”

What a Circle Is Like

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can join an integration circle?
Anyone processing a 5-MeO-DMT experience, whether it happened last week or years ago. There are no prerequisites, and you don’t need to have worked with The FIVE Institute before.
Do the circles cost anything?
No. Every circle is free. If the circles have helped you, you’re welcome to leave a donation to keep them going, but it is never expected.
How do I join?
Join the email list to get reminders and the Zoom link, or use the Join button next to any date in the schedule to register on Zoom.
Do I have to share?
No. You’re welcome to simply listen. Many people come to be in the company of others who understand, and share only when they feel ready.
What if I’m running late?
Circles start on time. To protect the safety of the group, no new participants are admitted after 15 minutes, so please arrive at the hour.
Is a circle a substitute for therapy or crisis support?
No. Circles are peer integration support, not therapy or medical care. If you’re in distress right now, contact the Fireside Project psychedelic support line, or call your local emergency number. For one-to-one support, see our integration specialists.
