Our belief

The training for mental health practitioners is a combination of training in which therapists experience the transformative power of a high dose of psilocybin-containing truffles by themselves, and apply their insights to their own lives and their professional work with others.

We believe that experiencing a psychedelic session in a safe and supervised way is important to fully understand its magnitude. You will also experience being a psychedelic facilitator and what that entails, you will expand your knowledge about psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and gain the skills to navigate the different levels of the unconscious

From our community

“Hans and Jeanine are such a dynamic team, with depths of knowledge and a passion for training. I learned so much about the medicine and myself. I think the way they set up the event was very thoughtful. I really appreciated the medicine followed by the breath-work.”

Hilary, Clinician, USA

This training was one of the most profound experiences of my life. It not only provided me with deep knowledge about working with psilocybin, but it also will make me a better practitioner overall. I also gained a community of professionals that I feel a deep connection with. I can’t recommend this training more."
