Course Description

The Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator Training program is a 12-month, 200-hour program designed to prepare individuals for State of Oregon licensure as a psilocybin facilitator. The program is based on the principles of Sacred Therapeutics. It aims to train highly skilled, ethical, and compassionate facilitators to support the heart-to-heart therapeutic use of psilocybin for healing, growth, and self-realization.

The program is rooted in the cultural heritage and sacred plant wisdom of indigenous people. It serves global healing and awakening while promoting unconditional respect for human dignity, equality, and diversity. The curriculum is heart-based, embodied, and deeply experiential, combining a focus on integrity and depth of rapport, trauma-informed skills, and decades of experience in guiding expanded states of consciousness through hypnotherapeutic trance and plant medicine.

The program includes both online and in-person retreat components and is limited to a cohort of 26 individuals to ensure direct personal mentoring. This program is ideal for individuals who have an interest in plant medicine, wish to incorporate this powerful work into their existing therapeutic, teaching, coaching, or facilitator offerings in a licensed, safe, and loving way, and wish to develop the therapeutic and somatic skills to navigate trauma safely.

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.
