Unlock the Next Level of Psilocybin Facilitation - A Crucial Step on Your Path

Are you an aspiring or current psychedelic guide who has completed didactic training but yearns for the essential, hands-on experience needed to confidently facilitate transformative psilocybin journeys? The path to becoming a qualified and truly skilled facilitator requires more than classroom instruction - it demands direct, legal work with the medicine.

Welcome to Experiential Psilocybin Facilitator Training in beautiful Jamaica, one of the few places in the world where working directly with psilocybin is legal. This is the crucial next step in your professional development, designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and confident practice.

The Unmatched Advantage of Direct Experience

In the rapidly evolving field of psychedelic care, few training programs can offer the unparalleled advantage of legal, direct experiential work with psilocybin. Our program leverages Jamaica's unique legal environment to provide what other courses, constrained by global regulations, simply cannot:

Legal

Direct Experience

Psilocybin is not a scheduled substance in Jamaica, allowing us to offer a training retreat that includes hands-on, supervised exposure to the psilocybin experience and the facilitation process itself.

Bridge the Theory-Practice Gap

Move beyond hypothetical case studies and role-playing. This training retreat is structured to build your experience and confidence in working with psilocybin directly - a critical foundation for effective facilitation.

Focused on Confidence and Skill Mastery

The curriculum is specifically designed for those who have completed foundational coursework but lack the real-world exposure. We don't just teach theory; we provide the crucible for practice, supervision, and integration.

Deep Integration and Mentorship

Benefit from small group sizes and extensive post-session integration and debriefing with our expert practitioners, who are deeply rooted in the ethics and best practices of psychedelic facilitation.

Global Access to Essential Experience

Our training is open to aspiring facilitators from anywhere in the world. If you are seeking the practical experience necessary to further your facilitation journey, our Jamaican retreat removes geographical barriers.

You'll learn about

Experiencing Psilocybin.
Working with Psilocybin.
Ethical and Legal Considerations.
The Preparation Process.
The Integration Process.

CertificatE OF Completion

All participants who complete our Experiential Psilocybin Facilitator Training Retreat in Jamaica will receive a Certificate of Completion.

The Crucial Step: Understanding Your Path

We are committed to transparent and ethical training. It is vital to understand that the path to becoming a fully qualified, competent, and ethical psilocybin facilitator can never be achieved in a single retreat. True mastery requires ongoing study, extensive mentorship, and continued practical experience over time.

However, gaining the experience to work with psilocybin directly in a supervised, legal, and ethical context is an absolutely crucial, non-negotiable part of a facilitator's development. This retreat provides that essential, formative experience, significantly furthering your journey toward proficiency and confidence. It's the step you need to take the lead in this emerging field.

Who is this for?

This Psilocybin Facilitator Training is ideal for:

Trainees who have completed didactic psychedelic studies (therapy, coaching, or facilitation courses)
Mental Health Professionals (Therapists, Counselors, Coaches, End-of-Life Doulas, etc.) seeking to legally and ethically integrate this modality into their training.
Wellness Practitioners and guides looking to deepen their practical experience beyond theoretical knowledge.

If you are ready to stop just reading about psilocybin facilitation and start doing the work with confidence, this is your crucial next step.
