Trauma-Informed, Somatic, and Ethical Practices for Working with Queer and Trans Clients in Altered-State and Ceremonial Contexts (22 CE's)
This is a 12-week live online advanced mentorship and professional development program for licensed clinicians, psychedelic facilitators, and allied mental health professionals seeking to strengthen ethical, trauma-informed practice when working with queer, trans, and other marginalized populations in psychedelic and altered-state contexts. The program integrates somatic awareness, identity-informed care, and ethical decision-making to support responsible space-holding and clinical presence. Participants explore topics including power and oppression in therapeutic relationships, energetic and interpersonal boundaries, projection and transference dynamics, consent practices, and group facilitation ethics. Through didactic instruction, case consultation, guided reflection, and experiential learning, participants develop practical skills for maintaining professional boundaries, navigating complex relational dynamics, and preventing harm in clinical and ceremonial environments. Participants leave the program with increased cultural humility, stronger ethical discernment, and enhanced capacity to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care to diverse clients and communities. Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
Culturally Responsive Approaches to Altered-State Facilitation and Community Care for Queer and Trans BIPOC Communities (22 CE's)
This is a 12-week advanced mentorship and professional development program designed for licensed clinicians, psychedelic facilitators, and allied mental health professionals who identify as queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). The program supports practitioners in developing culturally responsive, trauma-informed approaches to clinical and ceremonial care while navigating the complex dynamics of providing healing work within marginalized communities and predominantly Western professional systems. Participants engage with topics including racialized and intergenerational trauma, identity-informed care, power and oppression in therapeutic relationships, ethical facilitation, and practitioner sustainability. Through didactic teaching, guided reflection, case consultation, and experiential learning, participants strengthen clinical discernment, boundary management, and culturally grounded leadership in their work with clients and communities. Participants gain practical tools to integrate culturally responsive care, ethical decision-making, and embodied self-regulation into their clinical and facilitation practices. Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.

Selected Workshops Offered
EXPLORING THE ENERGETIC AND PSYCHEDELIC ALCHEMY OF POWER EXCHANGE FOR QUEER BIPOC FOLX
Within a Kink/BDSM context, power exchange can be deeply healing and liberating. In fact, it can be a fully psychedelic experience. The altered states of consciousness that are often inherent as a part of a dominant/submissive relationship or scene invite deep exploration of our connection to embodied liberation. In this interactive breakout session, we will explore how non-ordinary states of consciousness offer an opportunity to deeply explore our relationship to power, including our primal and shadow parts. We will discuss how Kink and its psychedelic elements can be a path towards freedom. We will have the opportunity to experience where power lives in the energy body and how we embody and alchemize that power as we move towards personal sovereignty and collective liberation.
PSYCHEDELIC ASSISTED THERAPY WITH QUEER + TRANS/GNC COMMUNTIES
Psychedelic experiences can be healing and liberatory for queer and trans/GNC individuals and communities. As facilitators of these experiences it is critical to have the knowledge, skills, and empowerment based approach to support queer folks in their experience. There can be vulnerability in allowing oneself to be present with the material that arises during non-ordinary states of consciousness. From preparation through integration, moving in intentional, affirming, and informed ways can make a world of difference. A way that cisheteropatriarchy impacts us all is by reinforcing a disconnection from our bodies and ourselves as sexual beings. As facilitators of these healing experiences, it is imperative that we are doing our own psychological and emotional work to combat, dismantle, and heal from our own participation in oppression, bias, prejudice and discrimination. We are all impacted by the effects of a society that privileges white, cisgender, heterosexual, and able bodied people. In this training, we will explore ways to create affirming and liberatory psychedelic healing spaces for queer folx.
