Course Description

The Innate Path Psychedelic Education Program is an immersive and transformative training course designed for aspiring psychedelic therapists. This unique program emphasizes the importance of personal growth and inner work as the foundation for guiding clients through their own healing journeys. By learning to navigate one's inner landscape, practitioners develop the skills needed to effectively support clients in exploring the subconscious mind using psychedelic therapy.

Throughout the 10-week program, participants will explore the Innate Path Model of Therapy, exploring embodied mindfulness, somatic processing, Buddhist psychology, addressing dissociation, and psycholytic therapy. The training combines applicable theory with hands-on experience, providing a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of psychedelic therapy.

At the core of the Innate Path Psychedelic Education Program is the emphasis on learning through direct experience. Participants will engage in weekly dyadic sessions, taking turns as the recipient and observer of a therapeutic psychedelic experience, facilitated by one of the program's instructors. These sessions utilize either ketamine or cannabis, allowing participants to understand the therapeutic process intimately.

In addition to the experiential sessions, the program incorporates weekly process groups where participants come together in a supportive community to share their experiences, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of the healing process. This communal approach helps address the collective nature of trauma and the need for belonging during the healing journey.

The Innate Path Psychedelic Education Program meets the experiential requirements set by leading organizations such as MAPS and Naropa, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to build a solid foundation in the rapidly expanding field of psychedelic therapy.

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.
