Founded in 2006 by Eli Jaxon-Bear, the Leela School of Awakening is an Ashland, Oregon-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering an Oregon HECC-approved 10-month psilocybin facilitator training program alongside 2-year therapist certification and international spiritual awakening retreats. Their approach integrates trauma-informed care, clinical hypnosis, Enneagram, and self-inquiry tools with psilocybin facilitation.
Leela School of Awakening sits at the spiritual end of the psychedelic training field, with a clear emphasis on self-inquiry, Enneagram work, hypnosis, and trauma-informed psilocybin facilitation rather than a purely clinical model. It is likely best for people who want Oregon-legal facilitator training wrapped in a strong awakening-oriented lineage, and for practitioners drawn to Eli Jaxon-Bear’s long spiritual and hypnosis background. The school’s public reputation is anchored more in its founder-led tradition and regulatory fit in Oregon than in a broad body of third-party review.
Best for aspiring psilocybin facilitators who are comfortable with a spiritually framed curriculum and want a route aligned to Oregon licensure. It also suits therapists and helpers who want to add Enneagram, hypnosis, and awakening-based methods to their practice.
The psilocybin facilitator programme is designed for people preparing for Oregon facilitator licensure. The school publishes admission requirements on its programme page, but the core stated pathway is to complete an approved facilitator training, meet Oregon requirements, and pass the state exam.
The Leela School states that its psilocybin facilitator programme is licensed by the Oregon Health Authority and the State of Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission, and Oregon lists it among approved psilocybin training programmes. The school also says its Therapy Training Program includes Clinical and Ericksonian Hypnosis modules certified by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. Oregon states that facilitator trainees need an approved curriculum and a HECC-licensed training school, or a HECC determination that a licence is not required, to qualify for Oregon facilitator licensure.
The psilocybin facilitator training tuition is $8,500. That covers the full online programme and course materials, but not travel, board, or accommodation for the in-person residential retreats. The school also requires a $50 non-refundable application fee and a $500 non-refundable deposit on acceptance, and says required books cost less than $100 extra. Payment plans are available.
Graduates walk away with training intended to prepare them for Oregon psilocybin facilitator licensure, including the material covered on the state exam. The school also positions the programme as building trauma-informed, compassionate facilitation skills for psilocybin-assisted therapy and broader service to healing and awakening.
