## Curriculum

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

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

Topics:

- 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:

- 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:

- 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:

- 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

## 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
