DESIGNED FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE
A course designed to teach you all the rules, regulations, and best practices of facilitating psilocybin therapy in the state of Oregon.
Professional training courses like this one are a prerequisite for applying for a facilitator license in Oregon.
WHAT IS PSILOCYBIN FACILITATION?
Psilocybin facilitation is the practice of supporting individuals during their use of psilocybin, a psychoactive substance found in certain species of mushrooms, for therapeutic or personal growth purposes.
In November 2020, Oregon voters approved Measure 109, which legalized the use of psilocybin in a controlled setting. Under the new law, individuals can participate in "psilocybin services" facilitated by licensed "Psilocybin Service Facilitators" who have completed a training program approved by the Oregon Health Authority.
Psilocybin services can only be provided at licensed psilocybin service centers, which must adhere to strict guidelines and regulations. Participants must be at least 21 years old and undergo a screening process to ensure they do not have any underlying medical conditions that would make psilocybin use unsafe.
During a psilocybin session, the facilitator holds space for clients and provides support as they navigate the psychedelic experience. Significantly, the facilitator is the individual who helps the participant set intentions, works with them to think about and create a comfortable and safe environment for the session, and provides emotional anchoring throughout the experience.
Significantly, Psilocybin Facilitation is NOT therapy. In fact, facilitators are strictly forbidden from diagnosing any health conditions, providing therapy, or using any other modality to direct the psilocybin experience, even if they are licensed to do so.
Also, facilitators are legally prohibited from touching, providing, processing, or engaging with psilocybin mushrooms in any way. Service center employees are the only people allowed to handle mushrooms at all, and they will provide the mushrooms directly to clients during a facilitation experience.
Facilitation is however an amazing opportunity to create and hold safe space for clients who are looking for a novel and powerful way to explore and possibly breakthrough their own limitations, whether those limitations are rooted in personal trauma, clinical depression or anxiety, negative relationships to self or to others, and many other individual challenges.
Additionally facilitation provides clients a controlled opportunity to explore their own senses of self and how they relate to themselves and to a greater human community and even press into other planes of thought that some people could consider spiritual.
