Open to the public and obligatory for those participating in the school's intensive training retreats, the series imparts skills distinct from traditional psychotherapy, shedding light on the unique challenges and potentialities of psychedelic therapy. This series underscores the importance of mindfulness and spiritual practices in preparing students to become effective psychedelic therapists, often exploring experiences beyond conventional psychotherapy's confines.
The course content is robust and varied, with an introduction and overview kicking off the series in week one.

The course further explores the transpersonal terrain, the creation of sacred spaces, and the potential of psychedelic cannabis for treating PTSD. The series concludes with a comprehensive look at integration, facilitating a full understanding of the psychedelic journey, from preparation to aftermath.
