Psychedelic Specialties

Through Psychedelic Guide Training, students learn how to work with psychedelic cannabis and breathwork modalities in non-clinical settings, and gain the foundational skills in Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Therapy to begin working in clinical settings and with additional medicines. These are the Psychedelic Specialities.

Psychedelic Sitters School currently offers the following four Psychedelic Specialties:

• Psychedelic Therapy and Clinical Cannabis Speciality
• Ketamine-Assisted Psychedelic Therapy Specialty
• Psilocybin Mushroom Support Specialty
• DMT Guiding Speciality

Each specialty program continues the conversation of Psychedelic Guide Training into a specific medicine modality and is comprised of webinars, 6 weekly classes and a 5 day intensive training retreat. Students gain ongoing supervision through an advanced credentialing program.
