Elemental Psychedelics
Data updated
Elemental Psychedelics is a Colorado-based psychedelic facilitator training centre. It offers training and experiential programmes for clinicians and non-clinical practitioners, including psilocybin mushroom facilitation and ketamine-assisted therapy. The founders say the organisation was created to bridge traditional mental health systems with safe, ethical, and respectful psychedelic work.
Blossom’s read
Elemental Psychedelics sits in the practitioner-training end of the psychedelic education field, with a clear Colorado regulatory footing and a strong emphasis on ethics, embodiment, and supervised practice. It is best for clinicians and wellness practitioners who want a structured route into psilocybin facilitation or ketamine-assisted therapy, rather than for curious consumers or casual learners. The tone is community-oriented and spiritually informed, with lineage rooted in Colorado psychedelic policy and practice networks and named leaders including Dori Lewis and Shannon Hughes.
Who is Elemental Psychedelics for?
Best for licensed clinicians and health or mental health professionals, plus experienced wellness practitioners moving into psychedelic work. Their psilocybin pathway also welcomes non-clinical applicants with significant personal psychedelic experience and prior facilitation experience.
What do you need before you start?
For ketamine training, the programme is open to clinical professionals from counselling, psychology, social work, health or mental health backgrounds. For the mushroom facilitator pathway, non-clinical applicants may be considered if they have significant personal experience with psychedelic medicine and prior experience facilitating others; the advanced pathway prioritises people with prior psychedelic training or ample psilocybin facilitation experience, and some applicants need graduate-level or post-graduate mental health training.
Is Elemental Psychedelics accredited?
Elemental’s 150-hour mushroom facilitator programme is a DORA Approved Facilitator Natural Medicine Training Program and is approved to meet Colorado’s 150-hour educational content requirements under the state’s Natural Medicine Rules. Their continuing education series is designed to meet and exceed Colorado state requirements, including a 4-hour virtual ethics module specifically designed to meet Colorado’s annual ethics requirements. No general academic accreditation or CME/CE claim is published on the main course pages provided.
How much does it cost?
The psilocybin facilitator programme is listed at $8,200. That fee covers 150 hours of education delivered virtually and in person, but not lodging, meals for the practice retreats, the $175 application fee, or DORA licensing fees. The provider also notes discounted ongoing consultation groups for ketamine training, but does not publish a single all-in programme price for the wider catalogue.
What do you walk away with?
Learners leave with training in psilocybin facilitation or ketamine-assisted therapy, practical experience, supervised practicum or experiential work, and a stronger grounding in ethics, assessment, preparation, integration, and ceremony. The psilocybin route is aligned to Colorado facilitator requirements, while the advanced pathway and continuing education offerings support ongoing professional development rather than a separate public-facing credential.
