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

    • Including medical clearance and evaluation

  • Opportunity for ongoing apprenticeship
