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.

Curious about Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and how it fits into the psychedelic healing landscape?
Join us for a free, live class and info session where we'll explore the fundamentals of ketamine therapy—from low-dose, talk-therapy-compatible sessions to high-dose transformational experiences.
Led by facilitators from the Colorado Psychedelic Practitioners Cohort (CPPC) in collaboration with Ballen Medical & Wellness, this session is designed for therapists, coaches, guides, and curious professionals ready to deepen their understanding or begin their path toward facilitation.### In This 1-Hour Class, We’ll Cover:
- The history, legality, and medical roots of ketamine
- How ketamine works in the brain and body
- Differences between low-dose (psycholytic) and high-dose (ego-dissolving) models
- Clinical, spiritual, and peer-based approaches
- Ethical considerations and safety protocols
- An introduction to our upcoming Ketamine Practitioner Training Program
- A live Q&A to answer your questions
### This Class is for You If:
- You’re feeling called to this work but unsure if you’re “qualified enough.”
- You’re already a practitioner and want to understand ketamine’s role in healing.
- You’ve experienced ketamine personally and want to explore holding space for others.
- You want to start with something accessible, experiential, and community-driven.
### Bonus:
All attendees will receive early access to apply for our Summer 2025 Practitioner Training, which includes both the Low-Dose Psycholytic and High-Dose IM Ketamine tracks, with support from licensed clinical providers.

Let’s explore what’s possible when psychedelic healing meets real-world access, safety, and peer-led community. - Microdosing Magic Mushrooms700 Kalamath St, Denver, CO$40.00
The Colorado Psychedelic Practitioners Cohort is hosting this 1-hour presentation on the benefits of micro vs macro dosing of psilocybin and magic mushrooms.
The event begins with a 30-minute overview of the current understanding of magic mushrooms as a tool for mental health. For those looking to begin or continue a regular microdosing regimen, individual consultation will be provided, along with a gift of 1-2 month's microdose supply and a daily journal platform to enable you to work with a guide from the Colorado Psychedelic Practitioners Cohort to identify the best strain, schedule, and dosing for your optimal results.
For those who continue to journal their on and off-day experience, ongoing free gifts of microdoses are available at no cost as we continue to collect quantitative data to help evaluate which mushroom strains are best for different outcomes.
You must register to ensure we have enough. If you do not wish to join the cohort or meetup group, you can also RSVP at https://forms.gle/dxPmnBNW2HmtioGb9
