There are no strict prerequisites.  We recommend watching our free training. The program is designed for healthcare professionals, coaches, healing practitioners, and others passionate about supporting transformative experiences. After the free training:

For the full certification: Complete an application and discovery callFor online training only: Enroll directly and/or schedule a discovery callFor the immersive retreat: Complete an application

For the supervised practicum: Available only after completing the online training and retreat

While no specific background or psychedelic experience is required, we expect a high level of engagement and academic rigor. What's most important is being open-minded, non-judgmental, and compassionate toward others.
What will I receive upon completing the program, and what does it authorize me to do?
Down arrow icon
Upon completion of the certification program, you will earn the designation of Certified Embodied Imagination® for Psychedelic Integration Practitioner. This training provides education on preparation and integration, which can be legally applied within your professional scope while adhering to ethical guidelines. However, it does not grant authorization to administer or facilitate psychedelic experiences.
Will this program involve psychedelic experiences or teach me to guide journeys?
Down arrow icon
No, this training does not involve administering or participating in psychedelic journeys, nor does it train you to guide or facilitate psychedelic experiences. Instead, it utilizes the Embodied Imagination® for Psychedelic Integration method to explore transformative states of consciousness and focuses specifically on preparing clients before their experiences and supporting their integration afterward. This powerful psycho-somatic approach can open gateways to profoundly expanded states without the use of substances.
