Trauma-Informed Entheogenic & Psilocybin Guide Training · Egypt Immersive Practicum
A six-month, 1:1 mentorship into becoming a certified, trauma-informed guide — then four unforgettable days beside Michelle in Egypt, holding real ceremony.
You feel the call to carry this medicine for others.
Maybe you've done your own work — sat in ceremony, felt what it's capable of — and now there's a pull toward something bigger than your own healing: holding that same space for someone else.
This mentorship is for the one who is ready to share this gift, not just hold it. I'll personally teach you the format of both 1:1 sessions and group ceremonies — how to screen, prepare, hold, and integrate, safely and ethically, in either container.
This is where spirituality meets science. You'll learn the pharmacology, the research, what the studies have actually shown us — alongside the lived, spiritual experience of the medicine itself. Holding both is what lets you speak to the landscape of medicine today with real authority, and discover your own flavor of facilitation along the way.
If you feel the call to carry the medicine — to be the steady presence someone else needs in that room — this is a space to activate your own medicine, right alongside theirs.
I built the mentorship I wish someone had built for me.
When I started holding ceremony, I learned the hard way — through trial, through fear, through almost getting it wrong. There was no map for how to actually hold someone else's healing safely.
This mentorship is that map. Six months of 1:1 training before you ever step into the role — and then four days beside me in Egypt, holding real ceremony, with me as your second guide the entire time.
You don't learn to guide by reading about it. You learn by being held while you try.
