Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training - September 2026

OPEN HOUSE

LIVE ❘ Wednesday, July 22, 2026

11 a.m. PDT | 2 p.m. EDT | 7 p.m. BST  | 8 p.m. CEST 

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.

 

Join us to explore:

  • The Four-Lens Pedagogy: How the program integrates cognitive, relational, embodied, and sacred wisdom into a cohesive professional and personal developmental journey
  • The Learning Architecture: How four dedicated containers — The Pod, the Skills Lab, Seed Groups, and Faculty Q&A — each develop a distinct dimension of practitioner readiness across 13 months
  • 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 tuition saving opportunities, scholarship opportunities, payment plans, and how to apply

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.
