About the Workshop
Current research shows that psychedelics and other plant based medicines are powerful tools for healing, when used in a safe manner with trained facilitators to support and supervise psychedelic ceremonies. This workshop is designed for people who wish to be prepared to offer the growing list of plant medicines, as they become legal, to clients and others, as well as those who wish to be well informed in supporting clients through decision making about out-of-country psychedelic retreats or integrating past psychedelic experiences.
The workshop will offer a comprehensive exploration of the factors that go into creating a safe and effective plant medicine experience, from preparation through integration.
Topics Will Include
- How to prepare yourself for holding space;
- The history of plant medicines;
- The ethics of plant medicine work;
- Creating a safe and effective space;
- Working with the medicine;
- Screening possible participants, and the ground rules for participants;
- Holding the ceremony space, and handling extreme reactions;
- Integrating the experiences afterwards.
The course includes a book, Walking the Plant Path, and recommended readings.
