Miriam van Groen
Miriam is a long-time Integral practitioner and Circling facilitator turned intentional psychedelic trip guide.

She now guides self-aware but stuck people who want to leverage a psychedelic experience for their personal (stage) development. She is a board member of the Dutch professional association for psychedelic facilitators, Guild of Guides, aimed at ensuring ethical, high-quality services.
She has presented and/or volunteered at all IECs so far. As a returning host and tech-host, she hopes to offer a welcoming, held space and seamless support for presenters and participants alike.
