With so much momentum in the movement — and many programs requiring major time or financial commitments — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

The Cocoon - a 6-week course, condensed into a 3 day intensive, is 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 psychedelic therapy is — and isn’t

Ethics, reciprocity, and cultural responsibility
Your motivations, identity, and readiness

BIOGRAPHY

Jaz Cadoch is a cultural anthropologist, educator, and systems thinker working at the intersection of psychedelics, justice, and collective healing. She brings a rare blend of intellectual rigor, relational depth, and values-driven leadership to her work—whether designing training programs, holding space for identity-based integration, or shaping ethical frameworks for emerging psychedelic infrastructures.

Rooted in both academic inquiry and grassroots organizing, Jaz is known for her ability to bridge worlds: tradition and innovation, structure and fluidity, theory and practice. She is a skilled facilitator of complexity—someone who sees the invisible systems at play, asks the hard questions about power and inclusion, and creates containers where authenticity and accountability can coexist.

Jaz has served as a co-steward of the Global Psychedelic Society, participated in the steering committee for Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act, and taught aspiring facilitators through Psychedelics Today’s Vital training program for 2.5 years. She has also consulted on curriculum development for both regulated and underground psychedelic programs, and co-founded ALKEMI, a consulting firm dedicated to conscious business practices.

Jaz’s work is deeply informed by her Jewish identity, her commitment to decolonial praxis, and her belief that healing must be interwoven with justice. She has consulted on curriculum development for multiple psychedelic-assisted therapy training programs, organized harm reduction and community care initiatives at festivals and conferences, and designed affinity-based peer support models for marginalized communities navigating psychedelic experiences.

More than anything, Jaz is devoted to building a psychedelic future that doesn’t replicate the harms of the past. Her leadership is defined not by domination or certainty, but by a fierce commitment to nuance, integrity, and care.
