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This training is a radical break from the conventional, outdated, inaccurate theory of psychology.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.

About Sasha Cuff

Sasha Cuff is an innovative pioneer within the fields of Trauma Resolution, Relational Healing, and Psychedelic Therapy. 

He is a  Relational Somatic Practitioner who, over the last 25 years of working in the trenches with highly traumatized people, developed The Sovereignty Method – a comprehensive set of cutting edge tools and techniques applicable to the full range of relational and trauma healing. 

His biggest contributions to the world of therapy came through avidly studying a variety of healing traditions and spiritual paths from around the world, devoloped many of his own techiniqus and applied them in practice to uncover which styles and modalities worked the best for each therapeutic presentation. 

The result is a rich, broad spectrum approach to life and healing.

Since 2017, he has been passionately empowering therapists and medicine facilitators to embody the skills necessary to hold safe, integral, deeply healing containers. 

The training was exceptional at providing useful somatic techniques and understanding that perfectly integrated with the medicine training and my previous somatic therapy education. The relational healing and experiential knowledge the training taught me affirmed my love of the work and gave me the confidence to believe in myself and embrace a new career as a relational somatic therapist.

This is not for the faint of heart. To do this rich and meaningful work wholeheartedly requires time, perseverance, a high level of investment, a genuine commitment to the path and a deep desire to share your gifts with the world.  

I highly recommend this training for anyone looking for a heart centered approach to healing and transformation through cutting edge use of empathogens in Somatic Relational Therapy! I have taken Sasha’s training twice because it is so good! The format is brilliant because the theory aspects are woven into the actual practices. And I love how Sasha is always coming from his heart and holds deep compassionate care for each participant and their healing journey!
