Weaving Bridges Psilocybin Facilitator Training Program

We are all interconnected and bound by a covenant of reciprocity. These beliefs are at the center of our psilocybin assisted facilitator training program. Our program is based on an ecological and spiritual perspective which is grounded in repairing our relationship with the planet. This involves practicing repair within ourselves, with other humans and with other-than-humans, by acknowledging we have something to learn from intelligences other than our own, opening emotionally to coregulating with the land, plants and the fungi, and attending to the potential for cognitive, emotional and spiritual relationship. We care deeply about equity. We examine the ways in which power, privilege, and oppression are a part of deep healing for all and integrate it into every aspect of our teachings.

Our program is certified by the Higher Education Commission and the Oregon Health Authority.  Those who graduate are qualified to sit for the exam to become an official psilocybin facilitator in the state of Oregon.  Our curriculum is broken down into two parts. A didactic component and a retreat; the program consists of 124 hours of instruction, 88 hours will be in person, 56 hours of instruction will be online, and there will be a 40 hour in-person practicum which includes group supervision at a qualifying service center.  All in person weekends will include direct experiential learning, ceremony, and practice.  All online cne synchronously, together in community.
