Course Description

This 6 Month Course includes 4 classes over a two month period with associated webinars, the Psychedelic Guide Training Intensive (Two options listed below), and two Practicums. 

The lecture content is divided into two primary segment:

• Foundations in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy
• Psychedelic Guide Training

The Foundations in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy segment is designed to provide you with the foundational skill sets to increase the depth and meaning of transformational psychedelic experiences while keeping the experiences as safe as possible. Unlike other Psychedelic Therapy programs, Medicinal Mindfulness Psychedelic Sitters School is not just theoretical, it is also very experiential in nature, and we focus on gaining direct, first-hand knowledge from the psychedelic sessions themselves.

We focus on Mindfulness Techniques that Psychedelic Therapists and Guides can use to deepen their own healing and transformation process while assisting and staying in full contact with their client for many hours. These internal skill sets are often unacknowledged in other programs, yet are essential in increasing personal and professional sustainability and resilience.

You will learn how to make your own psychedelic cannabis blends, set up your therapy space, use music and prompts to safely hold space as a psychedelic practitioner. The skill sets taught in this section are similar to guiding Ketamine and N,N-DMT psychedelic experiences.

The intensive nature of the experience allows us to do far more than a clinical Psychedelic Therapy training program. In addition to the demonstrations, experientials and multiple one-on-one practice sessions, the intensive is over five full days of personal psychedelic journeywork equivalent to the most potent Ayahuasca retreat experiences.

The Psychedelic Guide Training segment completes guide training completes the picture by teaching students everything they need to know to guide experiences using psychedelic cannabis that are incredibly similar to MDMA and Psilocybin journeys in a professional setting. Students will learn how to deepen and broaden their client’s process of healing and transformational discovery while simultaneously engaging in personal mindfulness practices that facilitate self transformation and healing.

The program is experientially based. Participants will each be guided on an intentional cannabis session, and will take turns practicing sitting, guiding, and “holding space” for each other. 

Lead trainers will guide students under the influence of psychedelic cannabis to demonstrate important guide techniques, and each student will have the opportunity to guide and be guided by other students.

In addition to learning how to step into a professional psychedelic therapy practice, students will learn specific guiding techniques framed within a mindfulness practice called the “Five Awareness Practice.” Within this framework, somatic awareness with acceptance is healing and transformative. 

Students will learn internal mindfulness techniques to increase personal spiritual resilience as a guide, and to be able to “imagine with” our clients. “Imagining with” our client is a special technique that provides important information while deepening our client’s process. Students will be provided a framework for understanding the phenomenological experience of deep psychedelic journeywork states and transformational healing.
