Plant medicines often exist in two or more worlds – rooted in traditional ceremonial contexts while also emerging as cutting-edge treatments in clinical and therapeutic settings. As interest in psychedelic plant medicines grows in mainstream culture, critical ethical questions are also surfacing. How can practitioners and facilitators navigate the rich landscape of psychedelic experience with respect and reverence? What does it mean to ethically blend traditional spiritual practices with contemporary therapeutic approaches? What is the role of community in experiencing and integrating sacred plants? Geared toward anyone interested in psychedelic facilitation, guiding or sitting, from spiritual practitioners to psychotherapists and clinicians, sessions will explore topics including the role and responsibilities of facilitators, trauma and psychedelic healing, harm reduction and psychedelic facilitation, psychedelic care and ethics, the role of ritual and music in psychedelic facilitation, and fundamental psychology for psychedelic facilitators. This course does not make participants religious leaders, shamans or facilitators, but gives tools for them to navigate their context of use. Completing this course and receiving a certificate does not imply that Chacruna vouches for the conduct of participants outside the course nor does it guarantee an ethical and safe approach by institutions in their daily practices.
