One of the elements proposed by the National Curricular Guidelines for Psychology courses is the overlap between theory and practice in psychologist training. One of the instances in which this movement is experienced is the inclusion of students in Academic Leagues, which in Psychology presents a marked deficit. The objective of this article is to present, through experience reports from members of the Academic League of Phenomenological-Existential Psychology (LAPFE), the impacts on academic training caused by experiencing the possibilities that arise in walking as members. It is a qualitative study, supported by the phenomenological research method in Psychology. The data were analyzed under the bias of Heidegger's theory, Merleauponty's theory and the three-gaze clinic. 6 thematic categories were created, namely: 1. Structure and activities of the League; 2. Participation and involvement of members; 3. Collaboration with educational institutions; 4. The League as a support network; 5. Challenges and learning; 6. Impacts on training: understanding Ariadne’s thread. It is concluded that the student experience in the Academic League results in a macro understanding of the practice of Psychology and its pluridimensionality in the niches where it is located, that is, sociocultural and historical.
