Description

Welcome to our unique and transformative psychedelic therapy training program! Our program is different from others because we believe in empowering the client’s inner healing intelligence to heal themselves. We take a bottom-up, inside-out approach to healing that integrates the best practices of spiritual, clinical, somatic, emotional, and therapeutic modalities.

Our program is the result of years of refinement and development. We draw upon the wisdom of underground practitioners and thought leaders like Stan Grof to teach our students a unique and proven protocol of healing. This protocol is designed to provide a transformational experience that will help our students understand our approach from the inside out so that they can offer it to their clients.

We are the only training organisation that teaches students how to stack and time psychedelic compounds to obtain optimal results for each client. We believe in providing a truly experiential training experience. All of our work is done in groups and triads, allowing each student to experience both being a client and a therapist.

We take ethics and best practices in psychedelic therapy seriously. We teach our students how to uphold high ethical standards and obtain consent. Our training provides a self-paced online component of didactic training, followed by an 8-day experiential retreat. During the retreat, students will embody psychedelic therapy, gaining a body-felt sense of knowing the work.

We draw upon a community of people who feel called to this work, not just clinicians with a title or specific degrees. Our program covers all aspects of psychedelic therapy, from first contact to integration. We focus on preparation, set and setting and integration, providing transformational experiences to all participants.

We take an inside-out approach to integration, allowing the client to validate their own experiences and find ways to bring the fruits of their journey into their day-to-day life. We maintain and support our growing alumni community of psychedelic therapists by providing opportunities for continuing education, mentoring, peer support, and oversight.

We have created a peer-led community of highly trained psychedelic therapists who are committed to upholding high ethical standards and providing transformational experiences to their clients. Our alumni numbers in the hundreds. We are all in daily communication with each other to provide support, mentorship, answers to complex issues, and supervision. After attending a retreat you will be welcomed into our alumni group. Join us on this transformational journey of personal and professional growth, and discover the power of psychedelic therapy to heal and transform safely and effectively.

Heal the Healer is our level two training program for psychedelic therapists who successfully completed our level one course Psychedelic Therapy. Heal the Healer guides you through your inner work in a group setting amplified by small doses of medicine. Our work at the retreat will take you and your practice to the next level of the group experience. Preliminary course work outlines an understanding of how to create a safe container, creating group cohesion and mutual interdependence, building and maintaining trust, boundaries, dosing protocols, holding space in a group, integration, art, movement, and case studies of group work using psychedelics.

Heal the healer is part exploration of self, part relational group dynamics. We explore the role of the individual in the group and our unconscious patterns of behaviour and roles in groups. We are here to do deep work so we can clear ourselves of unconscious motivations and unfinished business. We teach you how we create a safe container to establish a group that facilitates illumination of relational and social patterns for growth. Substances will be stacked in combination to bring the group to different stages during the full psychedelic relational experience.

You are simultaneously the client and the therapist. Come with a beginner’s mind, leave with the mindset of a leader. You will learn how to work deeply with individuals and learn protocols designed for group therapeutic work and healing.

The eight days are an immersion into experiential teaching and learning. We will explore several dimensions of how to enhance the power of the group process with the skillful use of psychedelics. The wide range of topics and modalities will be explored before and during the retreat including breath work, advanced medical training, bodywork, team building, creating and holding ceremony, identifying interpersonal boundaries, responsible communication and feedback, experiential exercises such as two chair work, psychodrama and other Gestalt routines, working with individuals within the group environment, corrective experiences and being witnessed in a group setting. We prepare the foundation of safety and trust by communicating with you and your group through Signal and with Zoom calls prior to the retreat. An online course will be offered as a prerequisite to help prepare you for the retreat.
