Stand in the Circle
We were never meant to do this alone
Something is shifting in the way people are choosing to live. More honesty. More presence. More willingness to say: the old map isn't working. Stand in the Circle is the philosophy and practice at the heart of Dr Rosalind Watts’s work and an invitation to remember an older, better way of being together.
As Seen In
About Dr Rosalind Watts
Dr Watts is a clinical psychologist, a mother, and a nature lover. Her work as the Clinical Lead for Imperial College London’s psilocybin trial has made her one of the most prominent voices and minds in the field of psychedelic research.
Dr Watts has been named as one of the 50 Most Influential People in Psychedelics as well as one of the top Top 16 Women Shaping the Future of Psychedelics. However, what sets Dr Watts apart is her focus on integration, harm-reduction and inclusion in the psychedelic space.
She builds tools and structures to foster connectedness after psychedelic experiences, finding inspiration for their design from nature. Through all her work, Rosalind's main learning has been that safe and effective use of psychedelics requires substantial integration support. As a result, she co-founded the UK's first psychedelic integration group, and in 2022 launched ACER (‘Accept, Connect, Embody, Restore’) Integration - a global online integration community where participants follow a 13-month process together to connect more deeply to the self, others, and nature.

ACER Integration
A Community Built for Lasting Integration.
ACER Integration is a global online community where participants follow a 13-month process to reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world.
Most integration support stops too soon. ACER was built around the understanding that what shifted in you needs time, structure, and genuine community to become something stable.
