What we’re about
This is a meetup group designed for current and aspiring Psychedelic Assisted Therapists and/or psychedelic facilitators/guides.
The psychedelic medicines that are legal in Colorado (namely THC, Psilocybin, DMT, Iboga, Mescaline, and Ketamine) represent a profound opportunity for expanding accessibility of mental health practices for the population of Colorado. However, the training required to optimize the impact of these medicines (and minimize risks) can be prohibitively expensive and inaccessible for some.
The Psychedelic Practitioners Cohort was developed to expand the accessibility and affordability of training for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Psychedelic Facilitation. The Cohort is peer-led, meaning every member of the cohort can propose and host an event or training (organizer screening required) and our longer retreats generally include space for each participant to present.
Meetups will be a mix of virtual and in-person and will not only focus on psychedelics, but also on trauma-informed therapy, harm reduction, equity of access and other important aspects of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and/or facilitating psychedelic experiences.

Each month, the Psychedelic Practitioners Cohort hosts Supervised Psychedelic Assisted Therapy sessions, with opportunities for individuals (especially aspiring Psychedelic Assisted Therapists) to receive affordable, effective Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT), as well as opportunities for current and aspiring therapists to receive supervision from more experienced PATs.
Sessions alternate between Broomfield and DTC. Must register to get location information, as each participant and observer must be confirmed and pre-pay.
Each session begins with a 30 minute presentation for both observers and participants explaining the modalities that may be demonstrated (depending on what arises in the session) and some of the techniques to be employed. Then, participants pair up with an experienced therapist and an observer for a 2-hour session.
All participants are screened and the exact location is only given after a brief video chat/interview.
The cost is $50 for observers (observing the PAT) and $200 for participants (receiving the PAT). Though we do make exceptions, we want the majority of participants themselves to be members of the Cohort and thus aspiring psychedelic facilitators or PATs.
