Experiential Training Institute

Data updated

Netherlands

Netherlands-based psychedelic practitioner training and retreat organization founded in 2022 by mental health professionals Jeanine Souren and Hans van Wechem, offering the first FGzPT/NVP/NVvP-accredited psilocybin facilitation training program in the Netherlands. ETI's Core Practitioner Training combines an 18-week Education Module with a 4-day Experiential Retreat, covering IFS, constellations, trauma-informed facilitation, and full-spectrum psychedelic care from screening through integration.

Blossom’s read

ETI looks like a clinically minded, relationship-led Dutch training provider that sits towards the experiential end of the psychedelic education spectrum, rather than the purely academic end. Its strongest fit is probably licensed or near-licensed practitioners who want supervised, in-person psilocybin experience plus a structured framework for screening, preparation, facilitation and integration. The lineage appears rooted in Dutch psychiatric and psychotherapy practice, with founders Jeanine Souren and Hans van Wechem bringing direct experience from Field Trip Health in Amsterdam and a model that blends psychology, systems work and trauma-informed care.

Who Experiential Training Institute is for

Best suited to mental health professionals, therapists, coaches and medical practitioners who want practical training in psychedelic facilitation and are comfortable with an experiential retreat component. It may also suit practitioners seeking recognised continuing education points in the Dutch professional context.

Prerequisites

ETI says entry requirements vary by programme, and it welcomes mental health professionals, therapists, coaches, medical practitioners and others with relevant backgrounds in care, facilitation or personal development. A source does not state a universal licence requirement, though the programme is clearly aimed at practitioners rather than the general public.

Accreditation & recognition

ETI states its practitioner training is accredited by FGzPT, NVP and NVvP, and says it provides 14 Permanent Education points for members of NvP, NIP or FgzPT. Independent Dutch course listing material also supports that it carries 18 points in the FGzPt, NIP and NVP context for at least one ETI course listing. ETI also says its certification is not a government licence, but a recognised standard of training.

Cost

For the 2026 Core Program, ETI lists the Education Module at €2,450 exempt from VAT, the Experiential Retreat at €3,850 including meals but excluding VAT and accommodation, and the total at €5,750, with a stated saving of €550 versus booking separately. ETI also says it offers a three-instalment payment plan, and that five fully funded places were offered on the 2026 Education Module via an accessibility fund. Separate retreat pricing on the site ranges from €2,650 to €3,250 for 3-day small-group retreats, depending on location and accommodation inclusion.

What you walk away with

Learners are meant to leave with a structured grounding in psychedelic facilitation, including screening, preparation, dosing-day facilitation and post-journey integration. ETI frames the outcome as practical confidence, embodied experience from both participant and facilitator perspectives, and a professional credential recognised within its Dutch continuing-education ecosystem rather than a legal licence to practise.
