The After Circle is a community-driven platform where you can share honest, personal reflections about your psychedelic healing journey. You don’t have to be a writer. You don’t have to be an expert. Our goal is to create a safe space to share lessons and insights, so we can help each other grow.

We love hearing voices from all different backgrounds, and we’re open to any kind of original content: journal writing, personal essays, poetry, art, and more. Don't worry about overly perfecting your words. It's the power of your human experience that matters, not the 'quality' of your writing.

By contributing to The After Circle, you join a community of compassionate individuals who want to make a difference. We don’t offer payment for individual submissions, instead the value lies in the opportunity to connect, inspire, and be a part of a bigger healing journey. Your words will reach a community of people who are all on a healing path, and they could be a lifeline for others who are facing similar challenges as you.

Write: Share your unique perspective on your healing journey so far, either writing freely or using our guided writing prompts. We value authenticity and vulnerability, so don’t be afraid to open up. There’s no maximum word count, but aim to keep your content engaging and heartfelt.

Share: Once your piece is ready, submit it online or get in touch with us to share another way. Please make sure your content is original and not published elsewhere. (If it’s been published previously,  please update it with a new title and refresh the content so at least 20% is new.)

Edit: Once we receive your submission, our editorial team will review your piece. We may come back to you with additional questions/feedback (if you’ve said you’re happy to be contacted), and we may make editorial changes to enhance the clarity and readability of your piece.  

‍Post: As soon as your written piece is finalised, and we have your approval, we’ll pair it with artwork and post it to our site for our community to read. If you’re not sharing your story anonymously, we encourage you to share your story on your social media channels too, so more people can read it.

At The After Circle, we take pride in the quality and integrity of the stories we publish. Our editorial team reviews each submission to ensure it aligns with our mission and meets our community guidelines. You may receive feedback or suggested edits to help your piece resonate even more with our readers. We want your story to shine, and we’re here to support you in that process.

We're grateful for every single one of your stories. Writing about healing is not easy, but it’s a courageous act of vulnerability and generosity. At The After Circle, we believe that sharing your story not only helps others heal but can also be a profound step in your own healing journey.
