Training 1: Depth Psychology Training for Psychedelic Practitioners
Depth psychology is uniquely suited to psychedelic work because it starts from the premise that the psyche is not only conscious but also profoundly unconscious, and that the most transformative material emerges from the layers we don’t yet understand or perceive from our conscious perspective. Psychedelics can often open those layers suddenly and forcefully; depth psychology provides the framework to receive, interpret, and integrate them.
Unlike surface-level coaching or symptom management, depth psychology works with archetypes, complexes, dreams, symbols, and the shadow. These are precisely the kind of experiences, images, and forces that psychedelic journeys amplify. A facilitator trained in depth psychology is not just a companion but a guide who can recognize when a client is confronting their shadow, entering an archetypal initiation, or meeting the Self.
Most importantly, depth psychology orients psychedelic therapy toward individuation, not just relief of symptoms, but the fuller realization of who a person is meant to become. It balances clinical care with symbolic meaning, honoring both the risk and the sacredness of the experience. In this way, it provides the most complete and responsible frame for psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Training 1, Course 1
This course provides psychedelic facilitators with a comprehensive and uniquely synthesized introduction to depth psychology. It presents the core Jungian concepts most relevant to psychedelic work, archetypes, complexes, shadow and golden shadow, individuation, active imagination, and symbolic amplification. Participants will learn how to recognize and frame visionary material in psychological rather than merely symptomatic terms, and how to support clients as they encounter archetypal patterns, shadow eruptions, and transformative symbols. Strong emphasis is placed on interactive learning, with space for dialogue, case vignettes, and extended question-and-answer sessions to ensure participants can apply these concepts directly to their practice and integration work.

Training 1, Course 2
This course is designed for practitioners who already have experience guiding psychedelic processes and want to deepen their ability to navigate the symbolic and unconscious dimensions that emerge. Building on foundational concepts, it focuses on working with complex archetypal encounters, shadow projections in the client-facilitator relationship, and psychospiritual crises such as ego dissolution, death-rebirth experiences, and encounters with numinous figures. Participants will practice applying Jungian tools such as dreamwork, active imagination, and symbolic amplification to integration, and learn strategies for orienting clients when visionary material becomes overwhelming or destabilizing. The format emphasizes case studies, supervision-style discussions, and extended Q&A to ensure that practitioners leave with practical skills to recognize and responsibly hold depth material in psychedelic contexts.
