Course Provider
Phoenix Academy is a Canada-based psychedelic therapy training organization founded by Bradley Foster (creator of the Toronto Psychedelic Society), offering a 100+ hour online course combined with an 8-day residential retreat for Level 1 certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy. The program trains practitioners in protocols involving psilocybin, MDMA, ketamine, and other medicines, with a Level 2 'Heal the Healer' program for inner work and advanced practice.
Phoenix Academy looks like a practitioner-facing, experience-heavy training provider rather than an academically formal school. Its strongest appeal is for clinicians and adjacent helping professionals who want a structured, hands-on introduction to psychedelic-assisted work, with a clear emphasis on experiential learning, co-therapist dynamics, and retreat-based immersion. The lineage is fairly personal and founder-led, with Bradley Foster’s psychotherapy background and Toronto Psychedelic Society roots shaping the offer; that may be a strength for some, but it also means the reputation sits more in the emerging training ecosystem than in established medical-academic accreditation.
Best suited to therapists, mental health professionals, and experienced helpers who want to learn psychedelic-assisted therapy in a practical, experiential format. The site also says it is open to some lay people, but the retreat work appears most relevant to practitioners aiming to integrate this into their professional practice.
Level 1 requires purchase of the online Psychedelic Therapy Level 1 course before retreat registration. The retreat page says the course is a prerequisite, and the training is framed for professionals and lay people. Level 2 is open to graduates of Phoenix Academy or Chiron Level 1, with experienced practitioners from other trainings considered case by case.
I found no clear evidence on the site of formal institutional accreditation, CE/CME credit, or a regulated professional licence. The program does state that participants receive a certificate at the Level 1 graduation ceremony, and that Level 1 graduates may join Wounded Healer, described as a continuing education platform and alumni hub.
Level 1 is sold as a 100+ hour online course plus an 8-day residential retreat. The course fee is deducted from retreat tuition, and the retreat price listed on the site is C$6,300 plus GST, including lodging, meals, the online course, and the training itself. A non-refundable C$900 deposit is required to reserve a retreat spot.
Learners receive a Phoenix Academy certificate after Level 1 retreat completion, plus access to alumni resources and Wounded Healer. The training says it covers preparation, dosing protocols, safety, co-therapist work, integration, somatic and emotional interventions, spiritual framing, and, at Level 2, group-process and advanced experiential work.
