Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitator Training

Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitator Training for Clinical and Non-clinical Practitioners

Elemental's 150-hour mushroom journey facilitator program combines online and experiential opportunities to support your exploration of education, experience, and ethics for embodied practice as a mushroom journey guide.

Elemental's Mushroom Journey Facilitator Program involves:

  • 100 hours of online synchronous and asynchronous curriculum, study groups, and live calls

  • 50 hours of in-person education for clinical and non-clinical tracks, including:

  • 4-night in-person Elementals of the Psilocybin Mushroom Journey for clinical and non-clinical tracks

  • 3-night in-person Deepening your Psilocybin Mushroom Practice for clinical and non-clinical tracks

  • Single night group ceremonies for supervised practice opportunities

  • Ongoing virtual consultation groups or individual mentorship

​

How does Elemental's Mushroom Journey Facilitator Program differ between clinical and non-clinical practitioner tracks?

​

Non-clinical practitioners include individuals from a variety of backgrounds in the healing arts including yoga instructors, life coaches, massage therapists, meditation teachers, doulas, energy workers, reiki practitioners, CNA’s, EMT’s, as well as individuals from other backgrounds seeking to expand their lives into new terrain.

Elemental's non-clinical track in mushroom journey facilitation includes learning objectives important to practitioners from all backgrounds, such as:

  • Uncovering essential sitting skills

  • Perfecting the components of set and setting to support a safe and ethical psychedelic journey

  • Familiarizing yourself with screening protocols for non-licensed practitioners so that you may know when to refer out to other practitioners

  • Ethically staying within your role as a sitter or space holder for psilocybin journeys

  • Understanding and internalizing the ethics of psychedelic care, risks, and avoiding harm

  • Uncovering the importance of consultation and collaboration

  • Staying updated with the current legal landscape in Colorado for non-licensed practitioners in the allied health or healing arts.​

2024 Cohort for Mushroom Journey Facilitators' Training Opening Soon

Our 2024 cohort for clinical and non-clinical mushroom journey facilitators is launching this fall!

Pre-enrollment will open in summer 2024 to hold your space in the fall cohort.

​

Students will have the opportunity to connect in community through several in-person gatherings , including:

  • a one-day kick-off gathering in late September 2024 to meet the faculty and jumpstart our educational program together

  • our Elementals retreat, with two date options to choose from

​

Elemental's Mushroom Journey Facilitator Program details:

​

This program includes 150 educational hours, aligned with the learning objectives required in Colorado for facilitators licensing, and 40 hours of in-person supervised practice. Program cost is $8,600 for students seeking original licensure in Colorado.  (Program cost includes everything students need to complete the program, except for lodging and meals at in-person gatherings). For students with prior completed training in psychedelic therapy or for persons who have already completed some training with Elemental Psychedelics, accelerated program options are available.

​

After students complete educational hours and supervised practice, Colorado law requires 6 months of individual or group consultation before granting full licensure to natural medicine facilitators. Elemental offers ongoing virtual group consultation to meet this requirement at an affordable cost or individual mentorship for those seeking more in-depth, personalized study.
