Description

Psilocybin services will play a key role in the future of emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Our training program is designed to support professionals to safely and effectively incorporate psilocybin facilitation into their existing practice, and to master the art and science of natural medicines.

 

If you have experience in the healing arts or work as a professional in the psychological, healthcare, or wellness industries as a therapist, counselor, coach, addictions specialist, doctor, or nurse, and you are contemplating integrating psychedelic healing into your practice our comprehensive training program will support you to assist your clients or patients who are seeking support in this field.

 

These potent medicines hold the potential for a revolutionary shift in health and well-being as they can evoke transformative change. As a leader in your profession, you are in the best position to step into the expanding field of psychedelic support. Psychedelics are opening up a new arena of conscious exploration.

 

People are seeking the psilocybin experience now that legal systems have been created in Oregon and Colorado and legalization efforts are underway in many other states. Many of them need a deeper level of support as they are trying to heal long-term depression, trauma, addiction, and other complex challenges. These seekers need the support that clinical professionals, coaches, and other healing practitioners can provide when they have received high-quality training in psychedelic harm reduction and evidence-based methods for psilocybin facilitation.

 

 

This is a 6-month program with online and live synchronous trainings and a 100-hour supervised practicum that includes a 10 day retreat in Colorado. Please read the schedule closely to determine if you will be able to attend the required trainings.

 

In-Person Practicum Retreat

 

You’ll gather at a stunning Rocky Mountain retreat location in Colorado for the administration portion of your practicum. At the retreat, you’ll practice guiding individual and group administration sessions and retreat-based integration sessions with the guidance and support of supervisory faculty. 

 

You have the option to experience psilocybin as a student-client and receive facilitation services from your practicum partner. If you do not wish to consume psilocybin, other modalities for inducing non-ordinary states can be substituted such as sound therapy. Micro- and midi-dose options are also available. You’ll have the opportunity to attend daily debriefing, supervision, and mentoring sessions.
