Course Description

The Advanced Workshop I in Ketamine- and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapies is designed to explore specialized topics in clinical practice and the advancement of ketamine- and other psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies. This workshop provides a deep dive into crucial subjects, including the principles and practices of depth psychotherapy, developmental psychology and attachment dynamics, the correlation between neurodevelopmental processes and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy from a Jungian theoretical perspective, and the integration of spirituality in the therapy and recovery process through an understanding of Jung’s concept of the “transcendent function.”

Participants will engage with the challenges and opportunities in harnessing the healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness, leveraging the therapeutic relationship effectively, and navigating complex and challenging experiences in treatment. By exploring diverse clinical theories, traditions, and philosophies, this training workshop offers a comprehensive perspective on the evolving field of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The course emphasizes the integration of clinical wisdom, safety, and psychodynamic/archetypal theory and practices.

In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
