Course Description

The Certificate in Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy is a program designed for therapists seeking to obtain the training and education necessary to become a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator under Oregon’s Measure 109. The program is grounded in Fluence’s Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI) approach and is taught by leading experts with psilocybin-assisted therapy experience in clinical research settings. It includes 120 hours of instruction in mixed in-person, online asynchronous, and online synchronous formats, plus a 40-hour practicum experience for a total of 160 hours.

The program is licensed by the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission and has received curriculum approval from the Oregon Health Authority. The program includes two courses: Psilocybin-assisted Therapy Part 1, and Psilocybin-assisted Therapy Part 2, and will take place over 30 weekly sessions, in small groups of around 12 participants. The program also includes an in-person course “Trauma-informed Psychedelic-assisted Therapy” which will be scheduled at least twice a year. Participants will also have access to an online classroom with resources, schedules, and opportunities for collaboration.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be eligible for the OHA’s Psilocybin-facilitator’s Licensing Exam.

Applications were open until late 2023, but no new cohorts have been announced.

About Instructor

Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. 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.
