A heartfelt congratulations to our three scholarsh A heartfelt congratulations to our three scholarship recipients. 🌿

✨ Coltrane Lord, USA
✨ Richard Minuski, USA
✨ Debbie Ann Chambers, Jamaica

Each of you has received a 50% scholarship towards the Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator Advanced Mentorship.

And to every single person who applied: thank you. Reading your stories and witnessing your commitment to trauma-informed, ethical and relational psychedelic care has been deeply moving.

The scholarship window is now closed, but registration for the mentorship is still open.

We begin 7 October, and this is an invitation for practitioners already working in psychedelic spaces who are ready to deepen their skills through mentorship, supervision, advanced somatic practice and a deeper exploration of ourselves as practitioners.

🌿 Comment MENTORSHIP and I’ll send you the program information.

🌿 Or comment CALL if you’d like to book a clarity call and explore whether this mentorship is the right fit for you.

I’m so looking forward to welcoming this next cohort. 🤍

THE COLONISATION OF PSYCHEDELICS — PART II Psyche THE COLONISATION OF PSYCHEDELICS — PART II

Psychedelics are powerful amplifiers. They amplify intention.
We cannot separate the medicine from the values of the people, facilitators, institutions and systems that share it.
So what happens when psychedelics enter a culture that values:
ownership over relationship?
competition over reciprocity?
scale over sustainability?
profit over people?
power over humility?
What might be amplified then?

This is where the conversation about commercialisation becomes more important, because commercialisation doesn’t change how medicines are distributed.
It starts to shape what we value about the medicines, and the psychedelic healing culture.

We start measuring success through clinical outcomes, market growth, intellectual property, scalability and financial return.
And we start to miss elements of healing which are harder to measure:
Relationship.
Reciprocity.
Cultural context.
Community.
Responsibility.
Meaning.
Care.

The things that may not fit neatly into a clinical trial, a patent or a balance sheet.
When a powerful amplifier enters a system, it doesn’t exist outside that system’s values.
It can magnify them.

So what happens if ego is amplified?
What happens if greed is amplified?
What happens if the desire for ownership, status and control is amplified?
And what happens when the people holding the greatest power have the greatest capacity to shape the future of these medicines?

This isn’t about assuming bad intentions.
It is about recognising that good intentions alone do not protect us from harmful systems.
What kind of world are we creating around the medicines that can help us heal?
What values are we embedding into the psychedelic future?

And ultimately:
Whose values will shape what these medicines become?

🌿 Our 9-Month Advanced Somatic Psychedelic Facilitator Mentorship is for practitioners who want to help shape a more ethical, embodied, relational and accountable psychedelic future — with ongoing supervision, real case consultation, honest reflection and a small learning community.

Comment MENTORSHIP and we’ll send you the full programme details.
🌿 Somatic Foundations for Safe Psychedelic Practic 🌿 Somatic Foundations for Safe Psychedelic Practice is now available on demand.

So many of you have already joined Somatic Foundations for Safe Psychedelic Practice, and it has been deeply moving to witness practitioners from around the world bringing more somatic awareness, nervous system literacy and trauma-informed care into their work.

And for everyone who wanted to join but couldn’t make the live round, I’m very happy to share that the course is now available on demand. 🤍

You can move through the teachings and practices in your own time, exploring:

✓ Nervous system literacy across preparation, psychedelic experience & integration
✓ Trauma-informed approaches to safer psychedelic practice
✓ Working with activation, overwhelm & protective responses
✓ Somatic and parts-informed perspectives
✓ Developing deeper attunement, presence & discernment as a practitioner

This is for therapists, coaches, facilitators and practitioners who want to build stronger foundations for meeting the complexity of psychedelic work — with greater care for the body, the nervous system and the person in front of us.

Comment SOMATIC and I’ll send you the link.

You can experience ego dissolution, profound love, You can experience ego dissolution, profound love, a sense of unity, or feel as though you have touched something sacred…
…and still return with the same attachment patterns, unexamined wounds, need for validation, difficulty with boundaries, or relationship to power.

A powerful experience can open a door.
But it does not automatically teach us how to live differently once we walk back through it.

Maturity asks for more:
reflection.
integration.
accountability.
humility.
the willingness to be challenged.
the capacity to stay in relationship when things become uncomfortable.

This is especially important for practitioners.
Because having had profound psychedelic experiences does not automatically make someone equipped to hold another person through theirs.
