The Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research is a comprehensive program designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and make them eligible to participate in clinical trials as therapists. The course covers a wide range of topics, including the history of psychedelic use in medicine, current research on the safety and efficacy of psychedelics in treating mental health conditions, and the ethical and legal considerations surrounding their use.

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.
