Four Signs You’re Ready to Step Into Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitation

It might sound like a voice in your head that keeps popping up. It’s time. Maybe it’s a warmth and openness in your heart space when you think about supporting others. Or perhaps several people in your community have asked you if you’d sit for them.

However it shows up… the call to support others through psilocybin mushroom experiences is hard to ignore once it starts taking root.

You also know the gravity of this work. The need for training, mentors, and practice. That the path of psychedelic facilitation requires personal responsibility, ethics, and humility. You’ve questioned yourself: Am I ready? And if I am… What comes next?

If the above resonates, we’d love for you to join our upcoming webinar on the Four Signs You’re Ready to Step Into Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitation with us, Elemental Psychedelics Co-founders, Dr. Shannon Hughes and Dori Lewis, LPC.

We will explore:

• The four signals that your inner call to serve others is ready to be turned into action

• What training to become a legal mushroom facilitator actually involves and what to expect from a licensed program

• Pathways to building a mushroom facilitator practice for both clinical and non-clinical practitioners in 2027 and beyond

• Next steps if you’re not yet ready but you know in your heart that this path is for you

• Open Q&A from our audience

This webinar is for you if:

• You have personal experience with psilocybin mushrooms and envision yourself supporting others

• You are a clinical professional, such as a therapist or psychiatrist, who is curious about what mushroom therapy could look like as part of your practice

• You are a wellness practitioner who is curious about how mushroom journeys could support your clients

• You are interested in getting licensed, but not sure what pathways exist and what’s involved in a training program

We’ll make sure to share the recording if you’re not able to join us live!

We can’t wait to see you there!
