Strictly speaking, no prerequisites are required. However, these trainings are made for those who have a background in the healing arts. We're approaching this with some flexibility with the most important thing being your devotion to a path of service and healing. You could be a therapist, social worker, hospice-worker, energy healer or massage therapist and be well poised to take this program. However, please keep in mind that this program will expect a high level of engagement and academic rigor. Regardless of your specific background, we ask that you only enroll if you feel excited and capable to engage with the workload this material requires. We encourage you to book a Discovery Call if you feel unsure.
Upon completion of the full certification program, you will earn the designation of Certified Embodied Imagination® for Psychedelic Integration Practitioner. This training provides education on preparation and integration, which can be legally applied within your professional scope while adhering to ethical guidelines. However, none of our trainings grant authorization to administer or facilitate psychedelic experiences.
Upon completion of the online course you will receive a certificate of training in the Foundations of Psychedelic Medicine and upon completion of the Immersive Retreat you will will receive a certificate of training in Embodied Imagination® for Psychedelic Integration and Dreamwork.
No, this training does not involve administering or participating in psychedelic journeys, nor does it train you to guide or facilitate psychedelic experiences. Instead, it utilizes the Embodied Imagination® for Psychedelic Integration method to explore transformative states of consciousness and focuses specifically on preparing clients before their experiences and supporting their integration afterward. This powerful psycho-somatic approach can open gateways to profoundly expanded states without the use of substances.
The Online Training and Supervised Practicum are entirely remote with virtual components, requiring a reliable internet connection, a computer with video capability, and access to our online learning platform. The Immersive Retreat includes two weeks of online preparation work followed by six days of in-person training at one of our retreat locations. We maintain smaller cohort sizes to ensure personalized attention and meaningful community connections. All required materials are included in the course and available online or in person (retreat).
You can take the course at your own pace. If you miss a Foundations session you can review the recording and turn in a summary. You must complete all assignments within the platform and we discourage missing more than 2 live sessions except in cases of emergency. Students have access to course materials for three months after completing the program.
The retreat package includes room and board, wellness activities, and training sessions. Airfare and other travel expenses are not included. Rooms may be shared and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with upgrade options and optional services such as massage etc. available for additional fees. Immersive Retreats are offered several times throughout the year in different locations, including Costa Rica and Portugal and Bali. Check our current schedule to find dates that work for your timeline.
During the program, students have access to one-on-one sessions with their course facilitator, live Q&A sessions, and moderated peer discussions. After certification, graduates join our alumni community with access to continuing education, professional networking, and optional supervision sessions. Graduates of the full certification can be listed in our Practitioner Directory, connecting them with potential clients. The skills gained can be applied in therapy, coaching, healthcare, affiliation with psychedelic retreats, and other fields requiring psychedelic preparation and integration.
We offer flexible payment plans, with complete details available on the pricing page. This approach ensures you understand the program's full value before making a financial commitment. The program requires approximately 2–5 hours per week plus a full dedicated week for the Immersive Retreat. The total duration varies based on your individual pace and retreat scheduling, with some students completing more quickly than others.
