PSS1 Foundations in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy

PSS1 Foundations in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy is a Level 1 training that teaches foundational skillsets for psychedelic guides and therapists. The course emphasizes mindfulness-based approaches, direct experiential learning, and supervised facilitation practice rather than theory alone. The curriculum includes making psychedelic cannabis blends, setting up the therapy space, using music and prompts, and learning how to hold space for extended client sessions. The source also notes that the skill sets are similar to those used in facilitating ketamine and N,N-DMT experiences. The training is described as intensive and includes demonstrations, experientials, multiple one-on-one practice sessions, and four full days of personal psychedelic journeywork. It is positioned as a prerequisite for assisting in Medicinal Mindfulness community experiences as a sitter or volunteer, and additional readings and educational resources are provided.
