SUMMARY:Course: Foundations of Plant Medicine Facilitation\, Integration and Ethics 2025
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nDo you wish you got into this event for free? Become a Chacruna member and receive free or discounted access to all Community Forums\, Courses\, Workshops\, and more! Also get full access to our entire archive of past forum recordings and join our global network of psychedelic professionals and activists to dive deeper into discussion and discovery \nPrice $700 USD \nPlant 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.

SUMMARY:Course: Queering Psychedelics - Intersectionality\, Healing\, Spirituality and Liberation - Live/Online
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice: $700 \nPsychedelics have encompassed a colorful history of the enchanted\, wayward\, and weird; this history also includes concrete ways queer folk have fundamentally shaped the substance\, style\, and spirituality of the psychedelic movement. At the same time\, some queer people have been harmed by psychedelic culture’s heteronormative assumptions. As the psychedelic renaissance reaches a pivotal moment of mainstream interest and regulatory legitimacy\, this course aims to foster accessibility and diversity in psychedelic science\, practice\, and discourses by addressing and dismantling sexist\, heteronormative\, transphobic\, and homophobic forms of oppression in the psychedelic movement. This course will cover topics such as the cruel effects of patriarchy\, practicing self-acceptance\, the dark sides of psychedelic research such as conversion therapy\, the move towards LGBTQ+ affirmative psychedelic-assisted therapies\, transpersonal queer spirituality\, sex positivity\, trans and BIPOC issues\, Indigenous perspectives in queer psychedelia\, and pleasure. The course also grapples with how modern psychedelic research might address the unique needs and traumas of sexual and gender minorities—populations that can suffer from challenging mental health conditions brought on by social exclusion\, pathologization\, criminalization\, and stigmatization. It is vital that queer spaces be established for exploring the unique needs\, gifts\, and strengths that LGBTQ+ communities bring to psychedelic medicine\, and how psychedelic medicine can help queer folks move towards healing and liberation.

SUMMARY:Course: Roots of Psychedelic Therapy - Shamanism\, Ritual and Traditional Uses of Sacred Plants - Live/Online
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice: $1\,100 \nThis course will be composed of a series of independent lectures taught by the Chacruna Institute’s team and affiliates. It will lay out the foundation of the use of sacred plants through historical\, cultural\, indigenous\, ‘traditional’ and contemporary lenses. We will explore topics such as shamanism in Amazonia\, peyote use among the Wixárika\, psilocybin use among the Mazatec\, iboga in Africa\, and many other cultural practices amongst other groups. We will discuss and analyze critical social issues such as globalization\, tourism\, cultural appropriation\, commodification\, patents\, reciprocity\, conservation\, legality\, ethics\, sexual abuse\, practitioner’s training and more. The course will create bridges between the worlds of ceremonies and psychedelic therapies. Students will learn how to incorporate this knowledge into their professional practices – either clinical or social science research\, work clients or ceremonial circles – as well as their personal lives. Through multiple perspectives and the rich histories and cultures of psychedelic plant medicines\, students will be able to deepen their understanding of the expanding future of psychedelic plant medicines in ways that are equitable\, safe\, and just\, and ways we can give back to and honor the cultures from which these practices stem. The course will be taught from an anthropological viewpoint that considers different cultures and peoples worthy of respect and considers their own perspective and values.

SUMMARY:Course: The Science of Psychedelic Healing
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice $700 USD \nThis course will teach students the science of psychedelic healing. Psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials have shown promise for treating a variety of behavioral health indications\, and the topics covered in this course will describe some of the potential mechanisms of action for these psychedelic benefits. We will focus on specific psychoactive substances such as 5-MeO-DMT\, cannabis\, MDMA\, psilocybin\, and others. Within this realm of psychedelics\, we will discuss topics such as critical periods\, acute subjective effects\, altered states of consciousness\, characteristics of psychedelics\, nervous system resilience\, pharmacokinetics\, pharmacodynamics\, drug-drug interactions\, post treatment integration\, historical usage of these psychedelics and potential therapeutic applications. Evidence from psychedelic neuroscience\, epidemiology and pharmacology will be presented to help students gain a greater appreciation for how psychedelics may impact health and wellness in clinical care. We will analyze different scientific research studies and data that have been presented within these realms in order to discuss therapeutic efficacy. We will ultimately strive to bridge the gap between the use of these psychedelics within western medical practice to recreational and Indigenous use.

SUMMARY:Course: Ayahuasca Healing\, Science and Indigenous Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPrice $950 \nThis course will be taught by leading experts in the field of ayahuasca research and renowned Indigenous leaders. The goal of the course is to address the current challenges and new perspectives on the use of ayahuasca in a global context\, not only from an academic standpoint but also drawing from Indigenous voices and their experience with ayahuasca. Students will be introduced to current issues on the internationalization of ayahuasca and its impacts. The course will address Amazonian traditional healing modalities; ayahuasca and Western psychotherapy\, the commodification of ayahuasca;​​therapeutic and clinical research; conservation\, environmental legislation and the legal framework of ayahuasca worldwide. This course will also be dedicated to honor the voices and experiences of Brazilian Indigenous leaders\, addressing issues that are most dear to Indigenous communities that consecrate ayahuasca. Our Indigenous professors will explore the dilemmas posed by western civilization\, such as exploitative extractivism\, cultural appropriation\, and the discredit of ancestral knowledge. They will also talk about ayahuasca shamanism and its role for the political\, spiritual and cultural resistance of Indigenous Peoples. This innovative course will bridge the gap between academic and traditional knowledge\, connecting the ceremonial use of sacred plants and psychedelic science. Following Chacruna’s tradition\, this course will unite a community of kindred people to get together and exchange notes around the most complete and up-to-date debates on ayahuasca and its challenges in current times.
