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.

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.
