This program is for those who:

  • Work in wellness and feel called toward psychedelics.

  • Are curious about facilitation but unsure where to start.

  • Want a clear, grounded view of the field.

  • Seek to engage with care, reciprocity, and integrity.

  • Are ready to reflect before stepping into the work.

Are you curious about a career in the psychedelic space but unsure where to begin?

With so much momentum in the movement — and many programs requiring major time or financial commitments — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The Cocoon is a 6-week course designed to help you slow down, turn inward, and do the foundational inner work needed before taking the next step. Through guided inquiry and reflection, you’ll explore your values, motivations, and personal readiness to enter this field with clarity and intention.

Join us for a course to explore the following

  • How to honor Indigenous and Western lineages of this work

  • What psyche-delic therapy is — and isn’t

  • Legal realities and emerging career paths

  • Ethics, reciprocity, and cultural responsibility

  • Your motivations, identity, and readiness
