The Gold Standard in Psychedelic Facilitator Training

At Bodhi Academy, we prepare the next generation of psychedelic facilitators through a DORA-approved psychedelic facilitator program that blends traditional wisdom, cutting-edge clinical research, and real-world experience. With small cohorts, hands-on training, and a transformative 10-day practicum retreat, you’ll gain the knowledge, skills, and mentorship to guide clients safely and ethically through non-ordinary states of consciousness.
