Psychedelic Training & Retreats

Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitator Practicum & Consultation

Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitator Training: Practicum

The purpose of Elemental’s practicum is to provide students supervised practice opportunities to experience, observe, and/or co-facilitate natural medicines sessions in a safe and supportive learning environment. Supervised practice is designed to support students’ integration of knowledge, values, skills, and practice behaviors within the framework of safe and ethical natural medicine facilitation within students’ scope of anticipated licensure. 

Dr. Shannon Hughes is working with a student who is clasping hands with a psychedelic therapy participant comfortably laying on her side wearing an eye mask.

Elemental’s supervised practice opportunities will be completed in-person at three single-day intensives, for a total of 30 hours of in-person practicum focused on administration sessions. Each daylong intensive provides 10 hours of practice as a co-facilitator or an opportunity for self-administration. Note that up to 10 hours of practicum can include self-administration of natural medicine. The remaining 10 hours of practicum will be completed virtually with a practicum supervisor and support faculty. Virtual practicum sessions will include supervised practice of preparation and integration sessions and case consultation. All in-person components of practicum take place at Reflective Healing (a licensed micro healing center) in Fort Collins, CO.

Psilocybin Mushroom Facilitator Training
Consultation

Elemental offers trainees the opportunity for ongoing individual or group supervision and consultation as part of ensuring ongoing professional competence and mushroom facilitator trainee licensure requirements. Under Colorado’s DORA regulations:

  • Once you hold a Natural Medicine Training License and have completed Practicum, you are permitted to begin practicing as a natural medicine facilitator.

  • Training licenses expire in two years. 

  • During that time, you must complete 40 hours of consultation (either 1:1 or group) to then qualify for full facilitator licensure.

 

Elemental offers virtual professional consultation for both clinical professionals and wellness practitioners. We believe that onggoing consultation is a critical component of safe and ethical facilitation practice for people at all levels of skill and training.

 Consultation opportunities with Elemental include:

  • Virtual consultation groups (6-month cohorts that meet twice monthly)

  • Specialty drop-in virtual groups (special topic-based consultation groups with guest experts, such as on medication management, ceremony skills, and so on)

  • 1:1 consultation with Elemental-vetted consultants

​

By joining a consultation group with Elemental,  you can be sure that you are working with qualified consultants with the education, experience, and ethics to best support you in deepening your skills and connecting to a community of learners. 

 

Consultation includes discussion of ethical issues that arise in licensees’ work as facilitators and structured evaluation addressing the following competencies: non-directive approach, relational boundaries and use of touch, cultural competence, non-ordinary states of consciousness, self-care, and ethics. Documentation of consultation hours and activities will be provided to trainees to fulfill the requirements of full licensure.
