2026 Practitioner Training
Train as a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider
Program Overview
-
Our Core Program offers a comprehensive and practice-driven immersion into the principles and process of psychedelic-assisted care. It’s designed for clinicians, therapists, and practitioners who are ready to begin supporting others in altered states — whether you're transitioning from adjacent fields, deepening your understanding, or bringing personal experience into professional practice.
Across the training, we cover the full arc of psychedelic work: from screening and preparation, through therapeutic modalities like IFS and constellations (ETI-method), to dosing-day guidance and post-journey integration. You'll also explore areas such as microdosing protocols, practitioner ethics, and how to build a sustainable practice.
Learning is grounded in real-world scenarios, role-play, and facilitated intervision groups — designed to equip you with not just the theory, but the embodied confidence and applied tools to do this work with skill, intuition, and integrity.
-
Our Advanced Program is designed for experienced practitioners already working with, or deeply familiar with, altered states of consciousness — whether through formal facilitation or extensive personal practice. This small, intimate cohort will explore complex case material drawn from the real-world use of psilocybin, supporting clients through a range of life experiences including depression, end-of-life anxiety, PTSD, grief, addiction, attachment disorders, chronic pain, and relational dynamics.
Expect rich case-based learning, in-depth psychological formulation, and expanded frameworks for working with meaning, emotion, and identity in the psychedelic space. We’ll also explore tools for measuring progress and assessing impact — such as the Schema Mode Inventory — helping you deepen your practice and bring greater rigour to your work in this evolving field.
-
Alongside the chosen Education Module, all participants will take part in a dedicated Experiential Retreat — an immersive, hands-on training designed to ground your learning in lived practice.
Held as a retreat in the Netherlands, this module offers a rare opportunity to step into both the participant and facilitator roles within a safe, expertly held setting. You’ll deepen your understanding of altered states through direct experience, while refining your skills in therapeutic presence, group dynamics, and integration.
What to expect:
Embodied learning through real-world facilitation — guided by experienced trainers
Alternating roles of participant and space-holder — offering a dual perspective on the process
A focus on therapeutic techniques, ritual structure, and responsive support
A small group format to allow for depth, safety, and shared reflection
We will be running several experiential retreats throughout 2026. Each retreat will provide the same high-quality, in-person training experience, with multiple date options to accommodate different schedules.
-
After completing either the Core or Advanced Program, you'll have the opportunity to apply for a facilitation internship on one of our ETI retreats.
These internships are a chance to deepen your practice by joining our facilitation team across our 3-day retreat format. Interns will support real participants through their journeys — taking part in preparation and integration calls, holding space during the retreat itself, and learning alongside our experienced lead facilitators.
Spaces are limited, but all graduates are encouraged to apply. This is an ongoing pathway for continued growth, reflection, and community — and a valuable step for those wanting to further embed themselves in this work.
-
While our programs are primarily designed for clinical professionals and healthcare practitioners working with clients, they are intentionally inclusive. You don’t need to be a licensed mental health professional to join us — we also welcome coaches, facilitators, holistic practitioners, and others working in supportive roles.
If you’re currently studying or have just graduated, please email us directly to explore options to join.

In 2026, we’re expanding our training offering to include two programs:
Psychedelic Practitioner Training: Core Program
Psychedelic Practitioner Training: Advanced Program
Both programs include an Education and an Experiential module — enabling you to first explore the evidence base and real-world cases, before gaining hands-on experience facilitating in altered states of consciousness.
Curious to learn more? Join our live Q&A session on October 1st from 5:00 to 6:00 PM CET, where we’ll share more about each program and answer any questions you might have.
