Course Description

Psychedelic Assisted Training Course is a two-year therapist training program designed to cultivate skilful, safe, and compassionate practitioners capable of working with the deep psyche. The course’s immersive, experiential, and transformative nature engages and integrates deep psychological concepts within the nurturing environment of the training group.

The course’s academic content delves into various therapeutic modalities, encompassing psychedelic literature, archetypal and transpersonal psychology, psychodynamic and attachment models, embodied models, intergenerational trauma work, clinical research, systemic perspectives, and shamanic and indigenous wisdom traditions. This integrative approach, Depth Relational Process, allows graduates to become professional members of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy.

The course, structured into four modules, offers weekly online lectures, experiential sessions, and intensive modules which include family constellations, holotropic breathwork, and legal psychedelic retreat intensives. An integral part of the training includes personal psychotherapy, deemed fundamental to the depth relational process. Each module includes seminars, group-led presentations, exercises, experiential components, and community and integration circles. The course cultivates a shared transformative space, fostering the co-creation of a learning container that supports growth and accountability. Please note that personal therapy, a mandatory requirement for the course, is not included in the course fee.

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.
