The Magic Mushroom Course, led by herbalist, acupuncturist, mycologist, clinician, and research scientist Christopher Hobbs, PhD, LAc, is a 7-week live video training aimed at individuals interested in the therapeutic and transformative potential of psilocybin mushrooms. This course covers the history, current research, and best practices for the safe and intentional use of these psychedelic fungi. Whether you are new to psilocybin or have had mixed experiences, this course offers a structured, step-by-step guide to understanding magic mushrooms’ science, legality, and practical applications. The course also includes interactive elements such as in-video quizzes, discussion boards, and an end-of-course assessment to consolidate learning.

You’ll explore the historical context of psilocybin use, its potential therapeutic benefits for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and the practical aspects of dosage and setting.

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.
