Do you think that being a successful psychedelic guide is about having a perfect resume or list of certifications? Think again.

Your clients don't need you to have all the answers. What your clients really need is:

Your compassionate and nonjudgmental presence- just as you are
To know that you authentically care about them
To know that you trust plant medicines, deep in your bones
To know that you believe in them and in their innate wisdom

So what if you're more ready than you think?

We genuinely believe that being a psychedelic facilitator is THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD. And we're here to help you step into this work safely, ethically, and in a heart-centered way.

So let's collaborate and launch your career in psychedelics. The world needs your gifts now more than ever. Classes start in January, so apply by December 1. Our students join us in person in Boulder, Colorado, and online from all over the world. So no matter where you are in the world, there's a seat for you in our sacred circle.

Join us online Oct. 20 for the next Open House Q&A!

Meet the people who have trained 1,200+ guides, get your questions answered, and see if this training is right for you. We're eager to meet you, learn more about the path you've been on and where you're headed, and to help you figure out your next steps.

If Psychedelic Medicines are calling you, it's time to answer.

These ancient ceremonial practices are as old as time, and the states that can be reached in these containers are your birthright. Yours, mine, and ours. It's time.

Come remember with us. It's time.

Don't miss your last chance to apply for the spring semester. Classes start in January and you don't want to miss the boat!

Plant medicines are everywhere. Psychedelic art is everywhere. Thank you to our licensed therapist and natural medicine expert Karina Maria Tibble for gifting this exquisite art to our center from your homeland of Colombia. So stoked to have these epic prints hanging in our training classroom!

Becoming a psychedelic facilitator isn’t about having a perfect resume or a string of certifications—it’s about who you are, how you show up, and your capacity to hold space with integrity, presence, and care. What if you're ready for the next step, even if:

Your legs are shaky
Your imposter syndrome is on overdrive
You know that there's nothing easy or convenient about owning your gifts

We won't accept you into this training unless we think you have the skill, depth and maturity to thrive doing this work.

Whether you’re seeking professional licensure under Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act (NMHA), or you’re on a supported personal journey of learning and healing, we have a professional path designed for you. Both tracks begin together, creating a rich and diverse learning community.

Want a sneak peek into part 1 of our Ethics & Regulations courses for licensed facilitators? This was a deep dive into best practices related to trauma-informed care, regulatory compliance, and the Natural Medicine Facilitator Code of Ethics. Plus bonus material on transpersonal psychology and the role of arts-integrated education in this movement.

After taking the client’s blood pressure, measuring the medicine based on Daniel McQueen’s state-of-the-art dosing protocol, and steeping the tea to perfection, Daryck Thompson pauses to reflect on what’s arising so far in the session.

This is what healing looks like.
