About:
We believe in the power of psychedelics to support healing from historical and present trauma, oppression, AND that psychedelics are a powerful tool in stewarding QUEER JOY, BLISS AND LIBERATION.
When psychedelic experiences are facilitated by someone with a shared intersection of identity, it can deepen the therapeutic alliance. Therapeutic alliance and attunement is one of the key characteristics of a successful psychedelic assisted experience.
The objective of the Psychedelic Assisted Facilitator Education Program is to educate LGBTQIA2S+ and those on the queer spectrum on a range of important topic areas (listed below) and to create a space for deepening relation to self, community, and the medicine.
The program includes:
Virtual lectures weekly including areas and topics such as :
Introduction to Psychedelic Facilitation and Queer Liberation
Foundational Facilitation Skills: including Prep and Integration
Ethics of Care and Facilitation: with a Focus on Non Ordinary States of Consciousness
Psychedelics as Tool for Black Trans Joy and Liberation and the Shadow History of Psychedelics
Biases: Conscious and Unconscious and the Power of Psychedelics for Marginalized People
Maintaining Energetic Sovereignty During Facilitation
Community Care, Collaboration and Harm Reduction
and more!
3 day in person experiential retreat at the beautiful Temecula Retreat Housewhere participants will be able to have first hand experience with medicine and practice of facilitation
