## How This Program Works

### The Training Container

For six months, you step into a committed, interactive cohort. You practice, receive feedback, and examine blind spots so you can remain steady when someone dissolves in front of you.

- This is not a passive webinar. It is interactive, relational, and experiential.
- You practice, receive feedback, and examine blind spots in real time.
- The goal is practical steadiness when intensity rises in the room.

### The Educational Framework

The curriculum blends nondual theory, trauma-informed facilitation, screening, nervous system literacy, ethics, somatic regulation, and integration methodology. You study independently, then apply in live sessions.

- Theory of nondual states and ego dissolution
- Screening, contraindications, and harm-reduction principles
- Nervous system literacy, somatic regulation, and integration methodology
- Self-paced recorded study reinforced through live application

### Mentorship (Included)

After completing your live cohort, you receive six months of mentorship as you begin applying what you've learned. Case discussion, supervised development, and direct access to experienced facilitators help you transition into real-world practice.

- Six months of mentorship included with your training
- Direct access to experienced facilitators
- Real case discussions and discernment refinement
- Support as you begin facilitating in the real world

### Certification Standards

Certification is earned through participation, demonstrated competency, and ethical alignment. Completion reflects readiness to serve within a professional standard, not simple attendance.

- Certification is not automatic and not attendance-based
- Participation, competency, and ethical alignment are required
- Graduates step into a professional standard of care

## Curriculum (4 Phases)

The 5-MeO-DMT facilitator training is organized into four sequential phases. Each phase is a Course unit within the EducationalOccupationalProgram.

### Phase 1: Phase 1: Foundation and Safety

Facilitation begins with safety. Before altered states, we establish medical literacy, risk awareness, and emergency readiness.

Topics covered:

- Pharmacology and neurochemistry of 5-MeO-DMT
- Medical and psychological contraindications
- Screening and intake protocols
- Emergency response procedures
- Risk mitigation and harm-reduction frameworks

### Phase 2: Phase 2: The Arc of the Journey

The medicine session is one moment in a longer process. This phase covers preparation, session support, and long-term integration.

Topics covered:

- Nervous system assessment and preparation
- Pre-session container design
- Phases of the 5-MeO-DMT experience
- Re-entry stabilization and integration planning
- Long-term embodiment and behavioral change frameworks

### Phase 3: Phase 3: The Art of Space Holding

Facilitation is not control. It is steadiness under intensity. This phase trains internal regulation and discernment.

Topics covered:

- Facilitator nervous system regulation skills
- Somatic awareness and grounded presence
- Projection and countertransference recognition
- Discernment during peak and destabilizing states
- Appropriate intervention versus non-intervention skills

### Phase 4: Phase 4: Ethics, Power, and Professional Integrity

Altered states can amplify vulnerability and power dynamics. This phase develops ethical maturity and accountability.

Topics covered:

- Power dynamics, boundaries, and informed consent
- Ethics of touch and financial transparency
- Transference, countertransference, and inflation risk
- Spiritual bypassing and practitioner inflation awareness
- Ongoing self-inquiry and accountability practices

## Safety & Clinical Standards

Safety is foundational to the program. Trainees are taught to screen for cardiovascular and psychiatric contraindications, understand 5-MeO-DMT pharmacology and drug interactions (including SSRI/MAOI considerations), prepare participants and environments, manage in-session somatic release and airway safety, and provide post-session reactivation grounding and long-term integration. Detailed screening criteria and emergency-response protocols are taught in Phase 1 (Foundation and Safety).

## Ethics, Power & Professional Integrity

Phase 4 addresses the heightened vulnerability and power dynamics of altered-state work. Trainees develop ethical maturity, clear boundaries, informed-consent practices, and accountability structures that distinguish professional 5-MeO-DMT facilitation from casual use.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is this training right for me?

This program is designed for professionals and serious practitioners who feel genuinely called to responsible 5-MeO-DMT facilitation. Many students are licensed therapists, medical professionals, experienced facilitators, and coaches seeking deeper clinical and ethical grounding. It is not a curiosity course or weekend certification. Admission requires a 60-minute private interview with Kerby.

### What does the interview involve?

A required 60-minute private conversation with Kerby. You'll discuss your background and intentions, explore the curriculum and learning platform, get your questions answered, and determine whether the upcoming cohort is the right mutual fit.

### What is the tuition and when do I pay the deposit?

Tuition is $5,500. The $500 deposit is offered only after you complete the interview and are accepted into the cohort. From the first day of live training, students have a three-week evaluation period. If you withdraw during that window, all tuition paid is refunded minus the $500 deposit. After the three-week period, tuition becomes non-refundable.

### Why is the program 12 months long?

Facilitation competency requires time, repetition, supervision, and personal integration. The first six months focus on live training. The following six months provide mentorship, case consultation, and continued refinement.

### What happens after the live training phase?

After the initial six months of weekly classes, students enter a six-month mentorship and apprenticeship period with case discussions, applied supervision, and continued integration training.

### Can I download the course materials?

Recorded trainings and materials remain accessible through the student portal for the duration of the program and beyond. Materials are not available for bulk download or redistribution.

### When does the next cohort begin?

The next cohort begins September 13. Schedule your private cohort interview to confirm fit and secure consideration for this cohort. Enrollment is limited to preserve the quality of supervision and mentorship.
