Delivered across two weekends, TheraPsil’s Fundamentals of Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy is a New Zealand-focused training for clinicians and professionals preparing to work in psychedelic-assisted care. You will learn the full TheraPsil clinical protocol, understand the New Zealand legal context, and build the skills to support patients through preparation, dosing, and integration. Encompassing 90+ hours, the course is designed to be intensive, providing the didactic training necessary for psychedelic-assisted therapy.
“The relational, personal, and experiential aspects of the week were nothing short of transformative. The week went far beyond conventional learning outcomes, it was healing, connective, and life affirming.”
— Steph Blyth, RCC, MDiv
“The content was incredibly useful and integrated beautifully into my practice. As someone with years of plant medicine experience, I still learned so much.”
— Dawn Slykhuis, MSW, RSW
“This is an excellent program for learning how to prepare, support, and help clients integrate psychedelic assisted therapy. The online course was very well done, and a great way to access this pioneering information.”
