Have you been considering, or perhaps started, facilitating mushroom ceremonies for the purpose of healing?
✨ Would you know how to handle major mental health diagnosed clients/situations?
✨How legally liable are you for holding the space?
✨Can you identify the difference between trauma release and seizures?
✨Do you have emergency protocols in place?
✨What skills do you want to develop to be a better facilitator?
✨What workshops and activities best support this work?
This training is NOT an initiation nor will it cover everything you need to know to facilitate; People often spend years learning in order to be ready. This is an intensive 5-Day training with experiential activities and workshops. Equivalent to 6 months of mentorship content, in 4 days. (6 hours per month x 6 months= 36 hours)
This training is best suited for those who have already begun facilitating but want to build their skills and knowledge around ceremony, sacred medicine, safety, protocols and to gain a larger network of peer support. If you have not yet started facilitating, but are already deeply connected with the medicine, this may also be of great benefit to you.
There will also be a Day ceremony (the 4th Day). The intention of this Facilitator Builder Training is to better equip you with more tools, activities and information to add to your toolkit and to provide a safe environment for you to put into practice some of the skills and tools you already have.
Some of the Topics that will be covered:
We will begin at 14:30 on the 24th and end at 14:00 on the 28th. NOTE: it is not possible to arrive late nor leave early as this disrupts the group dynamic and the flow of programming.
The latest arrival into Faro Airport to arrive on time would be 13:10. The earliest flight from Faro Airport on the 17th would be 17h.
