It’s been just over a week since I returned from Sydney where I spend 6 days in residential for my Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy with .au …and I’m still landing.
Just to be clear, no psychedelics were used (unfortunately 😆) which possibly makes the week even more impressive…simply learning, reflection, movement, and breathwork.
To be honest, I went into it hesitant. I’m someone who tends to lean toward the practical, the grounded, the explainable. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel in a space where things can sometimes tip into spiritual. But what I found was beautiful, thoughtful, open-hearted humans who share the same passion I do for supporting others and exploring healing, consciousness, connection, and care with depth and intention. Real conversations. Real presence. Real compassion. I feel incredibly grateful for the connections we made; those moments of shared laughter, tears, silence, and awe are still echoing.
And the facilitators…exceptional. Skilled, steady, knowledgeable, and attuned. They held space that felt both professional and deeply compassionate - the exact balance that this work requires.
So, while I may have arrived cautious, analytical, and slightly sceptical, I left expanded. And I am so excited for what’s to come! 🍄🍄🍄
