Course Description

Navigating Psychedelics for Clinicians and Wellness Practitioners is a comprehensive course designed to educate mental health professionals on psychedelics and psychedelic integration.

The course is divided into two parts. The first part introduces psychedelics, including history, science, harm reduction, and integration. The second part focuses on clinical application and explores clinical themes and topics.

The course includes 20+ hours of course material, lifetime access to the course material and updates for at least the following year, private access to the slack channel for messaging and connecting with other students, and additional resources such as at-home integration practices, meditations, mini breathwork experience, journaling prompts and a list of psychedelic integration resources.

The course is taught by experienced facilitators who are experts in their fields. This course is perfect for anyone looking to incorporate psychedelic knowledge and education into their practice or learn how to get started in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy.

This is a good starting course for mental health professionals who want to know about psychedelics and integration. CE credits are available for some iterations of the live course (versus the self-paced version). Taking this course will not make you a qualified psychedelic therapist or facilitator.

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.
