Course Provider
US-based philosopher, researcher, and psychedelic integration guide with a Master's degree in philosophy focused on the nature of healing in the psychedelic experience, who has worked as a research assistant at a ketamine clinic and written curriculum for multiple psychedelic therapy certificate programs. Criddle offers a Philosophy and Psychedelics online course and integration coaching, has contributed to Blossom Analysis and Psychedelic Science Review, and co-produced the documentary EntheoMagus exploring the psychedelic origins of Mormonism and the role of entheogens in American occultism.
Alex Criddle sits in the more reflective, philosophy-led corner of psychedelic education rather than the clinical or purely skills-based lane. He is best for learners who want conceptual depth, historical context, and integration-oriented thinking, especially around consciousness, meaning, religion, and healing. His lineage is self-directed and interdisciplinary rather than institutionally branded: philosophy training, ketamine-clinic research experience, curriculum work for psychedelic therapy certificates, and writing across psychedelic and Mormon-studies contexts.
Best suited to curious members of the public, aspiring practitioners, and clinicians who want a philosophical and interpretive frame for psychedelic work. It is also a strong fit for people interested in religion, consciousness, and integration rather than a formal clinical credential.
No formal prerequisites are published for the Philosophy and Psychedelics course. The provider describes it as open to people interested in psychedelics or altered states, with a self-paced option available.
Alex Criddle does not publish accreditation, CME/CE credit, or an externally awarded certification for this course. The course is described as an online educational programme with recordings, readings, and discussion access, not a licensed or accredited qualification.
The course price is pay-what-you-can within a stated range of $150 to $250, with $200 recommended. The self-paced version is priced at $70 to $100, and the course includes 12+ hours of instruction, readings, podcasts, videos, recordings, and access to a Discord community; reduced pricing is offered in cases of financial hardship.
Learners leave with a philosophical framework for interpreting psychedelic experience, including ethics, consciousness, selfhood, noetic insight, reality, and indigenous philosophies. The course offers discussion access and recorded lectures, but not a formal credential.
