Course Description

The MIND Integration Facilitator Training is a program for those who have participated in Beyond Experience (BE) or Footsteps and want to bring the integrative approach to the psychedelic experience to the world. The training will equip participants with the necessary skills to facilitate both BE and Footsteps programs and build a network of facilitators that can make these programs available globally.

The training is designed to benefit from years of expertise in altered states of consciousness and experience as BE and Footsteps facilitators. Participants must have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in psychology, public health, neuroscience, medicine, philosophy, or a related field, and experience facilitating groups. The training program includes a 3-day facilitator training, supervised co-facilitation, mentorship, a facilitator workbook, certification, and access to two Molecules (course) modules.

The course will most likely be given again in Fall 2023 and will take place in Berlin, Germany.

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.
