The Embodiment Protocol

Facilitator Certification Training

You’ve glimpsed the Infinite. Now it’s time to live it. For decades, 5-MeO-DMT facilitation has revolved around the peak experience - the explosive moment of ego dissolution that promises enlightenment. But real transformation doesn’t happen in the peak. It happens in the return. In The Integration & Embodiment Protocol, facilitators and teachers Stephan Kerby and Amber Kerby, LMFT challenge over forty years of traditional 5-MeO-DMT facilitation by offering a grounded, trauma-informed, and truly evolutionary approach to the medicine. Rooted in nondual awareness, neuroscience, and therapeutic practice, this training lays out a new framework for transformation - one where awakening is not an event to chase, but a state to live.

I'd done three other psychedelic trainings before this. None of them came close to the rigor and ethical grounding here. This is what the field needs.
