Course Description
The Psychedelic Peer Support Course, offered by MAPS, aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively support others during challenging psychedelic experiences. Whether it's a friend, family member, or stranger, this course guides how to be a compassionate and helpful "sitter" throughout the journey.
Participants will learn the principles of psychedelic support, the ethics of being a sitter, and gain the ability to recognize when it's necessary to seek assistance from medical or mental health professionals. Key topics covered in the course include psychedelic harm reduction, working with challenging or extreme state experiences, the role of the sitter or facilitator, ethics, and developing harm reduction protocols.
Drawing from MAPS' 36 years of scientific research and the Zendo Project's extensive real-world harm reduction experience at music festivals and events, the Psychedelic Peer Support Course is an invaluable resource for anyone in the psychedelic community, from beginners to seasoned psychonauts.

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.
