Course Description

The Psychedelic Therapy Course is a Level 1 training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to integrate psychedelic therapies into their practice. The course is divided into two distinct parts; the first is an extensive 100+ hour online program that covers all aspects of the psychedelic experience. The second part of the program is an immersive 8-day residential retreat that allows students to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. This thorough course, encompassing the latest research and best practices in psychedelic therapy, provides all the documents, forms, and protocols necessary to start a practice in this field.

The Level 1 Psychedelic Therapy course offers a holistic learning experience, from initial contact with clients and co-therapists to the integration process. It introduces innovative stacking protocols and teaches how to work with and combine various substances safely and skillfully. Participants are encouraged to establish their intentions for their work, understand the power of intention, and experience effective interventions, including bodily, emotional, and therapeutic approaches.

The spiritual aspect of the work is also incorporated into the curriculum, ensuring an all-encompassing understanding of psychedelic therapy. Post-retreat, the program supports students in their integration process, offers assistance in establishing their practice, and provides a supportive alumni network, creating a continuous learning environment that empowers therapists to offer their best in this rapidly expanding field.

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.
