Course Description

The Third Wave's Coaching Certification Program is a six-month-long program that teaches one to become a psychedelic coach. The program, which runs from August 17th 2023 to June 14th 2024, aims to revolutionize the coaching paradigm by mindfully integrating psychedelic medicines into a high-performance coaching methodology.

This will allow coaches to create breakthrough results faster and with greater alignment between mind, body, and spirit. The program is for both established coaches who want to add psychedelic work into their existing frameworks and new coaches who want to begin a career in psychedelics.

The certification is ideal for coaches committed to helping clients achieve a broad range of non-clinical outcomes, from those working on the forefront of human potential, peak performance, executive training, and leadership development, to those focused on health and wellness, life coaching, spiritual coaching, and beyond.

Participants will also have access to a community of like-minded coaches and ongoing support and resources after completing the program. Upon completion of the program, participants will be awarded the Third Wave Certified Coach designation and be able to use the certification logo on their website and marketing materials.

The program includes live classes and workshops, and a six-day retreat (included in tuition).

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.
