Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training - May 2026 Edition

OPEN HOUSE

LIVE ❘ Thursday, April 23, 2026

1 p.m. PDT | 4 p.m. EDT | 9 p.m. GMT

If you've been considering professional training in psychedelic facilitation, this no-charge, live Open House offers an opportunity to learn about the Synthesis approach in depth—and to ask your questions directly.

 

The Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training is a 13-month program designed to develop the foundational competencies for ethical, trauma-aware, and relationally attuned practice. But what sets this training apart is not just what you learn—it's how you learn it.

 

Join us to explore:

  • The Four-Lens Pedagogy: How we integrate cognitive, relational, embodied, and sacred wisdom into a cohesive personal and professional developmental journey
  • Small-Group Pods: The weekly facilitator-led mentorship containers where learning becomes embodied through guided self-inquiry and peer reflection
  • Practice Pathways: Self-experience retreats in the Netherlands, practicum opportunities, and the Colorado Licensure Track
  • Academic Pathways: The opportunity to earn an MA, PhD, or MA/PhD in Interdisciplinary Psychedelic Care through our partnership with Ubiquity University
  • Tuition, Scholarships & Admissions: Current savings, payment plans, and how to apply

You'll also hear directly from one or two program alumni and have time for live Q&A.

What Makes This Training Different

Our curriculum design acknowledges there is no “one-size-fits-all” method for facilitating psychedelic experiences. With that understanding, we offer you the foundational skills critical to building the capacity to hold space for many ways of knowing:

 

Embodied Wisdom — Presence

Developing the body as an instrument of awareness, attunement, and regulation. Practitioners learn to inhabit their own interior before holding space for others.

 

Sacred Wisdom — Meaning

Engaging meaning-making traditions, epistemic humility, and a living relationship with nature and lineage. Practitioners learn to hold the sacred dimensions of experience without imposing.

 

Relational Wisdom — Connection

Cultivating attunement, co-regulation, boundaries, and presence to support safe connection and ethical practice in community and one-on-one settings.

 

Cognitive Wisdom — Knowing

Building a strong professional foundation in scientific models, ethics, harm reduction, and evidence-based best practices.
