Course Description

The BCSP Certificate Program in Psychedelic Facilitation is a 9-month, 200-hour interdisciplinary training for advanced religious, spiritual-care, and healthcare professionals. It offers an integrated approach to professional preparation for psychedelic facilitators, combining instructional hours with a 40-hour practicum.

The curriculum blends contemporary scientific knowledge with ancestral and communal perspectives, emphasising psilocybin facilitation and its applications for spiritual and psychotherapeutic care. It prepares facilitators to adequately address the needs of people from a diverse array of faith traditions and communities of origin, while acknowledging and engaging with Indigenous and other traditional communities that have long been stewards of healing practices with psychedelic substances.

The program has been accepted as one of the Oregon facilitating training courses. The current cohort, starting September 2023, has stopped accepting new students.

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.
