The Psychedelic Guide Training course offers a deep dive into psychedelic therapy, combining PSS1 and PSS2 intensives for those who aspire to guide individual and small group sessions in various non-clinical settings. These sessions could be geared towards spiritual growth, creative problem-solving, or personal transformation.
The course provides all the necessary skills and training to work ethically and effectively as a Cannabis-Assisted Psychedelic Guide. Spanning four to six months, the course is designed to be comprehensive yet flexible, accommodating learners' diverse schedules and allowing for eventual credentialing.
The journey starts with PSS1, providing a solid foundation in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy®. Unlike purely theoretical programs, PSS1 is designed to be deeply experiential, focusing on hands-on learning through psychedelic sessions themselves. Learners will acquire skills in setting up therapy space, crafting psychedelic cannabis blends, using music and prompts for a safe psychedelic experience, and handling complex ketamine and N,N-DMT psychedelic experiences.
The PSS2 intensive, on the other hand, delves into advanced practices, focusing on guiding experiences that parallel MDMA and Psilocybin journeys. It provides training in specific guiding techniques framed within a mindfulness practice called the "Five Awareness Practice". As part of their initiation into guidework, participants will engage in a Conscious Cannabis Circle and participate in a special demonstration led by the lead practitioner.
