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 sits a little apart from the purely clinical end of the Oregon psilocybin-training market. Its strengths are a strong spiritual lineage, a long-running non-profit structure, and a clear emphasis on trauma-informed presence, hypnotherapy and Enneagram-based self-inquiry, which will appeal to people who want depth as well as regulatory preparation. It is likely best for reflective practitioners who are comfortable with a spiritually-inflected model; those wanting a strictly medical or secular route may find the tone less aligned.
Best suited to therapists, coaches, guides and aspiring Oregon psilocybin facilitators who want a heart-led, experiential training with strong emphasis on self-awareness and relational skills. It also seems aimed at people drawn to spiritual awakening work rather than only service-delivery competence.
The school says the psilocybin facilitator programme is for applicants seeking Oregon facilitator licensure and uses a general application and assessment process, with acceptance required before deposit payment. The sources reviewed do not clearly state hard entry requirements such as a professional licence, though the programme is framed for trauma-informed work and the broader school also serves therapists and other helping professionals.
Leela says its psilocybin facilitator training is licensed by the Oregon Health Authority and HECC-approved for preparing students for Oregon facilitator licensure. State guidance says Oregon psilocybin training programmes must have OPS curriculum approval and be licensed by HECC or have an exemption, and that students should confirm both before enrolling. Leela also states its hypnosis-related training is approved by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, and some retreats carry CEU credit for certification renewal or advanced certification.
The current tuition page lists the psilocybin facilitator training at $8,500 if paid in full, or $8,900 on a 10-month plan, with a non-refundable $500 deposit applied to tuition. The site also indicates the price excludes travel, board and accommodation for the in-person retreats, and offers scholarship information on request.
Learners can expect practical preparation for Oregon psilocybin facilitator licensure, including preparation, journey support and integration skills, plus experience with trauma-informed care, non-directive facilitation and boundary work. Depending on pathway, students may also progress to Leela Therapist or Leela Practitioner certification, and some modules may contribute CEU credit for renewals or advanced certification.
