Relational Somatic Psychedelic Therapy Experiential Training Retreat
In this intimate 9 day in-person retreat you’ll apply the cutting edge techniques from The Sovereignty Method (Level 1) and step into the world of psychedelic therapy by learning and experiencing how to create safe and effective medicine assisted healing containers.
WHO THIS TRAINING IS FOR
This training is for therapists, integration coaches, psychedelic practitioners, doctors, psychiatrists, plant medicine practitioners and healers who are ready to work within a new paradigm of trauma resolution and healing.
This training is for you if you…
- Want to learn cutting edge techniques and practices in the field of psychedelics
- Are ready to deepen the relational somatic therapy skills you learned in Level 1 Training
- Want to expand your practice to include medicine work
- Go deeper with your clients but need further education and facilitation training
- Need to build your knowledge, confidence and experience
- Are drawn to learning how to work with empathogens
- Want to learn how to create safe, effective, deeply healing medicine containers
- Want to create an ongoing connection with a community of highly committed practitioners in the field
- Are devoted to being in service with integrity by doing your own inner trauma work
WHAT SETS THIS TRAINING RETREAT APART FROM OTHERS?
This training is a radical break from the conventional, outdated, inaccurate theory of psychology.
When you understand that humans are not stuck in their psychology, they are stuck in their biology, it completely changes the approach to therapy and the necessary learning environments. In this training you learn to effectivly deliver the missing biological inputs that actually heal developmental and attachment trauma
Therapeutic Focus
The healing techniques being taught are designed to provide the missing biological inputs, while utilizing the implicit access and neuroplasticity of the medicine, to properly wire your neurophysiology and create lasting health.
Experiential Learning
Most trainings are 90% theory and 10% practice. This experiential training is the other way around, 10% theory and 90% practice. The structure includes live demos, practice sessions, role playing and medicine sessions in the client and facilitator roles.
Medicine As Adjunct
The medicine is NOT the therapy, it is an adjunct that enhances therapy. In this training, there are no eye shades and headphones, the medicine is not expected to do all of the work. There is a huge difference between having a trippy experience and actual deep transformational healing that makes your life better.
Community of Leaders
You’ll be part of a network of diverse practitioners, who are devoted to being in service with integrity and accountability for holding high standards. Both in service and within their own inner trauma work.
