Course Provider
Operating since 2012 as the training program of the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness in Boulder, Colorado, Psychedelic Sitters School trains licensed clinicians and guides-in-training in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy® across four medicines—cannabis, ketamine, psilocybin, and DMT—through in-person, hybrid, and online formats. Now in their 13th year with over 35 cohorts completed, they are one of the longest-running psychedelic guide training programs in the United States.
Psychedelic Sitters School is a long-running Boulder-based guide training with a strong lineage under the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness, founded in 2012. It sits in the more practice-led, ethics-forward part of the field rather than an academic theory lane, and is best suited to people who want supervised, experiential preparation for psychedelic guiding, especially those interested in cannabis, ketamine, psilocybin and DMT. Its reputation is anchored more in longevity, cohort volume and close connection to an established psychedelic therapy centre than in university-style accreditation.
Best for licensed clinicians, therapists and guide-in-training candidates who want an experiential, mindfulness-based route into psychedelic facilitation. It also suits people seeking non-licensure professional training rather than a formal academic programme.
The provider accepts students from diverse professional backgrounds, and says all applicants go through a thorough application and interview process. It screens for maturity, competence and mental stability, and students must sign its code of conduct and ethical practice agreements.
Psychedelic Sitters School itself is not presented as a university-accredited programme. The provider says its broader training ecosystem aligns with Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act, and that Colorado psilocybin facilitator training is approved by the Department of Regulatory Agencies through its affiliated Medicinal Mindfulness Academy pathway.
The provider does not publish a single programme price on its main training pages. It says the full foundational programme includes a webinar series, ongoing skill development classes, the Initiation Intensive and one practicum, and that some components can be taken individually; the affiliated academy page says the full 200+ hour pathway includes didactic training, skill development courses, Saturday modules and practicum/consulting components.
Graduates are described as initially qualified to guide individual and small group sessions in non-clinical, spiritual or creative problem-solving settings with psilocybin mushrooms or psychedelic cannabis using Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy. With additional specialist training, learners may extend into clinical settings and work with the other medicines.
